• Analyze testing results and provide input for design modifications based on DFMEA and DOE outcomes.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and automation teams to streamline production and integrate Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Automation (DFA) principles into the design process.
• Lead in root cause analysis and troubleshooting efforts in alignment with APQP guidelines.
• Utilize advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software to create 3D models and engineering drawings.
• Review engineering documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
• Lead in the development of product manuals and technical reports.
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality.
• Ensure adherence to safety protocols, industry standards, and quality requirements in design work.
• Stay informed about industry best practices, emerging technologies, and innovative engineering trends.
• Collaborate with and mentor junior engineers, providing guidance for design projects and fostering a culture of excellence within the team.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, quality assurance, research and development, and automation.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Bachelors’ degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline required.
• Must have 6-8 years of experience in engineering field.
• Demonstrated ability to lead projects.
• Proficiency in advanced CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Auto CAD).
• Strong problem solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Sound knowledge of engineering principals and methodologies, including DFMEA, APGP, DOE,DFM, and DFA.
• Proficient in MS Word, Excel, MS Outlook and Internet Explorer.
• Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.
• Knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.
• The ability to work effectively and productively with others. Shares responsibility with team members for successes and failures.
• Considers the relative costs, benefits, impact or consequences of potential actions to choose the most appropriate one. Ability to make decisions in a timely manner.
• Practices safe work habits and encourages others to do the same. Identifies ways to improve the safety of the work environment. Knowledge of relevant policies and procedures to promote effective safety operations.
• High level of integrity and dependability with a strong sense of urgency and results-orientation.
• Proficient in MS Word, Excel, MS Outlook and Internet Explorer. Email automation, and online analytics tools required.

The pay for this position is dependent upon experience, between $98,521.50 and $133,287.00.
