Collaborate with manufacturing, industrialization, quality, and supply chain teams
Support prototyping, validation builds, and production ramp-up phases
Work closely with suppliers to validate design feasibility and manufacturing processes
Identify opportunities for cost reduction, design simplification, and performance improvement
Manage engineering changes through CR (Change Request) and CO (Change Order) processes, ensuring proper review, approval, and implementation
Troubleshoot production issues and implement corrective actions
Ensure compliance with technical standards, specifications, and safety requirements

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field
