  • Experience as a senior engineer, planning, directing and checking the activities of junior colleagues.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical topics into actionable decisions.

Preferred:
  • MCAD/ECAD fluency [Creo Preferred].
  • Thermal and structural simulation (static & dynamic).
  • Experience designing for global compliance and environmental requirements.
  • GD&T (ISO and ASME).
  • Design for vibration, shock and reliability.
  • Design experience with multiple materials: sheet-metal, die-casting, plastic injection molding (optical and structural), CNC machining, and die-cutting.
  • Experience with optics, including lens design for illuminators.
  • Experience with Intellectual Property management.
  • Knowledge of integrating AI tools into engineering tasks.
  • Demonstrated ability in problem solving activities employing tools such as 8D & CAR.
  • Quality certification: ASQ DFSS Greenbelt or similar.
