• Support full life cycle product development from concept, prototype, testing, validation, and manufacturing release.
• Create and evaluate prototype designs using additive manufacturing, fabrication, machining, welding, casting, injection molding, and other relevant manufacturing methods.
• Plan, conduct, and document product testing, including destructive and non-destructive load testing, and use test results to improve product performance and reliability.
• Generate manufacturing drawings, bills of material, technical documentation, engineering reports, test plans, and release packages.
• Design products with the end user in mind, prioritizing intuitive installation, field durability, maintenance access, and repairability using common tools.
• Coordinate with supply chain, manufacturing, sales, and engineering teams to ensure designs meet manufacturability, quality, cost, and customer requirements.
• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing partners, including offshore teams, to review design intent, manufacturability feedback, and first-article samples.
• Troubleshoot and resolve concerns related to product design, structural performance, manufacturability, and field use.
• Participate in continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to improve existing products based on field feedback, test data, quality concerns, or cost-reduction opportunities.
