  • Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to resolve design, process, and assembly issues
  • Review technical reports and recommend design changes to meet product specifications
  • Develop and maintain Design Verification Plans and Reports (DVP&R) in alignment with customer requirements, DFMEA, and applicable industry standards
  • Coordinate with internal and external test labs and support product testing and validation activities
  • Work with Sales and customers to develop product specifications and technical documentation
  • Support research and development initiatives and identify opportunities for product improvements
  • Assist with technical presentations, customer meetings, and product reviews
  • Support engineering changes and continuous improvement initiatives across the organization
  • Stay current on new technologies, materials, manufacturing processes, and industry developments

  • 1–5 years of experience in design engineering, product development, or a related field
  • Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings and blueprints
  • Experience using CAD software for product design and development
  • Understanding of GD&T, Design for Assembly (DFA), DFMEA, and tolerance stack analysis
  • Knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and technical product requirements
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and time management skills
  • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team environment
  • Highly motivated, adaptable, and solution-oriented

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with product design, development, testing, and validation
  • Experience creating DVP&R documentation and supporting test activities
  • Familiarity with safety-critical products or regulated manufacturing environments
  • Experience collaborating with Manufacturing, Quality, Sales, and customers
  • Ability to participate in or lead cross-functional engineering projects

Why Join?

  • Gain hands-on experience developing products from concept through production
  • Work across design, manufacturing, testing, and product development
  • Collaborate with customers and multidisciplinary engineering teams
  • Develop your technical skills while working on real-world product challenges
