Engineering
At Altec, each product is shaped by the expertise and innovation of our engineers. From collaborating with customers to implementing advanced manufacturing processes, Altec engineers are making a difference at the forefront of the industry. We offer engineering opportunities in product development, applications and manufacturing nationwide.
Here’s a brief overview of the some of the engineering possibilities at Altec:
Product Engineering
Product engineers are responsible for utilizing the product creation process to develop next-generation product concepts and designs. They develop and test new structural, electrical and hydraulic systems. The product engineering team also builds prototypes, conducts both product and field testing, and interacts with our customers to ensure success.
Applications Engineering
Designers and applications engineering technologists (AETs) design final products that meet customer specifications, including creating custom solutions for unique applications. They design structural and mechanical components and develop the required electrical and hydraulic systems. This team produces custom designs, drawings, schematics and weight studies, analyzing customer technical requirements to determine the best solution. They also provide engineering support on the production floor to help troubleshoot during manufacturing.
Manufacturing Engineering
Manufacturing engineers improve production by implementing lean manufacturing principles. They facilitate the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, lead Kaizen events to improve processes and reduce costs, and participate in daily operations to ensure efficiency.
Quality Engineering
Quality engineers represent the voice of the customer and drive continuous improvement efforts through root cause analysis. They conduct application reviews with suppliers and actively participate in daily operations to help maintain quality standards.
Controls Engineering
Controls engineers design, integrate, test and deploy embedded control systems. They optimize designs for manufacturability, implement and design green technology, and provide support throughout manufacturing, sales, and service of Altec products.
Composites Engineering
Composites engineers apply composite materials and technologies to create a competitive advantage for Altec’s products. They coordinate efforts across product development and design, and they define testing parameters to evaluate the performance of composite and polymer systems.
