For those mechanical design engineers out there, I’m sure many of you would agree that we have to possess in our armoury numerous technical and creative skills and attributes. In addition, when working on a design and development project, the ability to be persistent and consistent is needed, not only in the level of work produced but in the overall communication of ideas and problem solving ability.
But being persistent comes at a price. If a design is deemed not to be right, then it is a brave thing to be the one to suggest amendments, which obviously add more time to the project plan and cost to the budget. The end goal is, of course, to deliver for a client, but this has to be weighed up with ensuring a certain level of consistency in providing a professional service.
We have recently finished working on a client project. Although we achieved and fulfilled their objectives, this wasn’t a simple design path to follow. The CAD models needed several amendments, including, at one point, a complete redraw. Despite being part of a bigger team, we were very instrumental in getting the design to work. It was a challenging project, proving that if you want success, you certainly have to persevere.
We like to be involved with projects that make a difference to the end client too, such as medical devices that practically help individuals when it is needed the most. We have been fortunate to choose projects that are considered to be more morally worthwhile, and therefore get the highest satisfaction from working on them. Overall, we relish the opportunity to use our so-called superpowers; consistency and persistency.
