  • Support verification activities, fixture design, and product testing
  • Drive design reviews and file release processes
  • Contribute to production troubleshooting and continuous improvement

What you need
  • Required: Strong SolidWorks skills (3D, assemblies, master models, drawings)
  • Required: Ability to work independently and apply prior learnings to new designs
  • Required: Knowledge of manufacturing methods (injection moulding, sheet metal, casting, welding)
  • Required: Experience performing engineering analyses and trade-offs
  • Required: Experience with prototype validation and product testing
