  • Demonstrated ability to lead design projects, communicate technical information clearly, and collaborate across departments.
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and documentation skills.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience with mechanical product development in automotive, consumer goods, or industrial equipment industries.
  • Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
  • Familiarity with FEA, CFD, or other simulation tools to validate design performance.
  • Experience with PLM, PDM, or ERP systems for engineering change management.
