Sketching design concepts alongside the engineers, brainstorming the design control criteria and generating solutions for their review, comment and evolution is a rewarding challenge. Mixing your experience and ideas with their constraints and design objectives can be done in good humor for heightened creativity to find solutions for often difficult problems. Successfully conquering these without just jumping to the first easy solution path, results in a superior product. The number of coexisting design constraints and objectives is both fascinating and challenging; function, cost, durability, reliability, use of common parts, tooling implications, materials, serviceability, manufacturability, design simplicity, customer perception, and more. This highlights the benefit of working close with a broad team experience and resource approach.
