Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing mechanical components and assemblies from concept to release
• Performing static and dynamic FEA simulations to validate design performance
• Creating 3D CAD models, detailed technical drawings, and engineering documentation
• Conducting tolerance analysis (2D, 3D, statistical) to ensure manufacturability and fit
• Writing technical reports and presenting findings for design reviews and decision-making
• Collaborating with testing teams and managing the build and validation of prototypes
• Supporting cost optimization efforts through comparison studies and design iteration
• Specifying materials and applying GD&T principles aligned with manufacturing processes
• Creating and maintaining component specifications and Bills of Materials (BOM)
• Applying engineering best practices like FMEA, DRBFM, and risk management

What distinguishes you: 

Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
