  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (SAE, ISO, IATF, RoHS, REACH) and internal engineering practices.


What You'll Need
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering with cross-disciplinary experience.
  • 3-7 years of demonstrated experience in product development, validation, or applied R&D, preferably within automotive, or electromechanical components.

  • Strong background in CAD, design analysis, DFMEA, DVP&R, and related processes.
  • Proven problem-solving, analytical, and project management skills with the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with engineering, quality, supply chain, product development, marketing, and commercial teams.
  • Experience working with global manufacturing and supply chain environments is a plus.
