  • Manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) and technical documentation, ensuring accuracy and adherence to engineering standards.
  • Participate in prototype development, testing, and validation to refine designs and resolve technical challenges.
  • Investigate and implement continuous improvement opportunities for existing products and manufacturing processes.

Recommended Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related technical field.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA) for design, modeling, and drafting.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication) and materials science.
  • Demonstrated experience applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
  • Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards and their application.
  • Proven ability to take designs from concept through to production, including prototyping and testing.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or other simulation software.
  • Advanced understanding and application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Hands-on prototyping, assembly, or testing experience.
  • Familiarity with Lean manufacturing principles or Six Sigma methodologies.
