- Generate ideas, develop concepts, and create detailed mechanical designs for new products and product enhancements.
- Perform hand calculations, tolerance analysis, and GD&T stack‑up in alignment with ASME Y14.5 standards.
- Apply strong engineering fundamentals to address design, manufacturing, and performance challenges.
- Provide CAD design support using Solid Edge or SolidWorks for New Product Development (NPD) and Sustenance projects.
- Drive cost‑reduction and quality improvement initiatives while maintaining product performance and compliance.
- Apply Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) principles to improve efficiency and ease of production.
- Execute Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) using PLM systems.
- Support prototype build, functional testing, validation activities, and evaluation of test results.
- Create, manage, and maintain costed Bills of Materials (BOMs) using Teamcenter or similar PLM tools.
- Balance multiple priorities effectively to meet customer expectations, quality requirements, and project timelines.
- Communicate technical information, design intent, and project updates clearly with global and cross‑functional stakeholders.
Who You Are:
You build effective relationships across teams, functions, and geographies by communicating clearly and respectfully.
