The Engineer 1 or Scientist 1 will typically work independently but within a team framework, to develop and support products within the Technology groups and to achieve objectives. Work is still performed within defined parameters and skills are improved upon for making work decisions, applying concepts to issues of moderate complexity, and resolving issues through immediate action or short-term planning. This level requires a greater knowledge and demonstration of competencies to use the tools, materials, products, and processes in the development and support of the technology.

Manufacturing Engineers identify manufacturing technologies, outline manufacturing sequences and methods, develop testing and qualification requirements, and coordinate with supply chain to produce distinct products in a manufacturing environment. Manufacturing Engineers create finished and semifinished product drawings and process execution workflows to turn raw materials such as metal, plastic or wood and individual component parts into a finished product in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner, while maintaining product quality.

Delivers engineering and scientific efforts related to the design of new products and services and new designs for customer projects. Delivery of projects through the design, verification, production and, if required, commercialization stages. Usually consists of a cross-disciplinary organization executing projects to support technology portfolio strategy. Coordinates closely with Discipline, Research, and Testing teams as needed.
