• Serve as a design engineering representative for battery products in production.
• Lead investigations to identify and implement engineering solutions to design and production issues.
• Use CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) to create and modify 3D and 2D design data.
• Develop technical project plans and schedules for engineering activities.
• Create and support technical documentation, including non-conformance reports (NCRs), supplier deviation requests (SDRs), and engineering change requests (ECRs).
• Write, submit, and coordinate approvals for engineering change orders (ECOs) and support implementation of design changes in production.
• Manage BOM generation and revisions for a high-mix product line.
• Participate in material review board (MRB) activities and provide engineering guidance on material disposition.
• Partner with quality and manufacturing teams on first-article inspections, line trials, and production pilot builds.
• Provide DFA/DFM feedback and support the development of design specifications, FMEAs, DOEs, and verification and validation protocols.
• Work directly with component suppliers to troubleshoot technical issues, request samples, and evaluate the cost and timing impact of design changes.
