- Evaluate assembly sequence feasibility, hand and tool accessibility, general manufacturability, and operator considerations in a digital environment.
- Document findings, prepare reports or presentation materials, and communicate results to stakeholders.
- Track open issues, concerns, and follow-up actions related to assigned digital tests.
- Work cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, program, plant, and other stakeholders as needed.
- Support standard work, documentation discipline, and continuous improvement of digital test methods and practices.
- Provide manufacturing engineering support that can expand in the future beyond DTA based on team and business priorities.
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree and at least 1 year of product manufacturing experience
