Summary
Designs and develops drilling machines, responsible for specification formulation, prototyping, evaluation, and mass production.
Description
Drilling machine design engineers handle the design and development of drilling machines used for ground investigation and boring. They select mechanical components, conduct structural design, and evaluate strength and durability. They use CAD and CAE for 3D modeling and analysis. They verify performance through prototype fabrication and testing, iteratively improving to ensure mass producibility and safety. They also coordinate with customers, manufacturing departments, and external suppliers to optimize designs considering costs and delivery schedules. They are involved in smartening machines through the introduction of the latest materials and IoT technologies.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for infrastructure and construction machinery, the need for high-performance and highly durable drilling machines will continue to expand steadily. Smartening using CAE and IoT is expected to advance, increasing market value.
