calculation-engineer Occupational skill for the role 'calculation engineer' (also: process engineer, structural engineer, simulation calculation engineer, computational engineer, piping calculation engineer, process modelling engineer). Use when the user asks for typical calculation engineer work such as: Analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product.; Develop manufacturing methods, labor utilization standards, and cost analysis systems to promote efficient staff and facility utilization.; Recommend methods for improving utilization of personnel, material, and utilities.

Calculation Engineer

Calculation engineers draw conclusions about real systems, such as on strength, stability and durability, by performing experiments on virtual models. They test production processes as well.

Core workflow

  1. Analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product.
  2. Develop manufacturing methods, labor utilization standards, and cost analysis systems to promote efficient staff and facility utilization.
  3. Recommend methods for improving utilization of personnel, material, and utilities.
  4. Plan and establish sequence of operations to fabricate and assemble parts or products and to promote efficient utilization.
  5. Apply statistical methods and perform mathematical calculations to determine manufacturing processes, staff requirements, and production standards.
  6. Draft and design layout of equipment, materials, and workspace to illustrate maximum efficiency using drafting tools and computer.
  7. Review production schedules, engineering specifications, orders, and related information to obtain knowledge of manufacturing methods, procedures, and activities.
  8. Communicate with management and user personnel to develop production and design standards.
