- Create DFM-ready drawings and the documentation that makes manufacturing smoother and change control clearer.
- Manage BOMs and help lead ECR processes, ensuring engineering changes are tracked accurately and implemented effectively.
- Collaborate closely with electronics and software teams, bringing enough technical literacy to remove bottlenecks rather than create them.
- Deliver design outputs that meet challenging constraints such as corrosion resistance, extreme temperatures, confined access, and high-consequence failure modes.
- Support handovers to manufacturing by keeping drawings and configurations consistent and reliable.
The Product Design Engineer – Mechanical will bring:
- At least 2+ years in a mechanical engineering role, with demonstrable robotics or field-hardware design experience (portfolio required).
