The number and type of individuals that comprise a design team is largely determined by the size of the design project. Even though an individual is assigned to a team, all members may not be involved at all times. In a concurrent engineering environment the team members work together to meet the common goal. Typical members of a design team might include:
I. Product design engineer-responsible for the overall product design.
2. Product manager-the person who has the ultimate responsibility for a design and its team.
3. Mechanical engineer-responsible for mechanical and electromechanical product development.
4. Electrical engineer-responsible for electronic components of the design.
5. Manufacturing engineer-responsible for the manufacturing processes used to create the product.
6. Software engineer-responsible for any computer software code needed for a product.
7. Detailer/drafter-assists the engineers with the 3-D modeling and documentation of the product.
8. Materials engineer-responsible for the selection of the material hest suited for a product.
9. Quality control engineer-responsible for meeting the quality guidelines for the product and its
manufacture.
10. Industrial designer-responsible for the product's appearance, form. and human factors analysis.
II. Vendor representatives-responsible for any outsourcing required by the company making the design.
