• Develop and execute product validation and verification plans; perform simulated use testing and troubleshoot product issues.
• Apply engineering analysis (FMEA, tolerance analysis, FEA, DOE, statistical analysis) to minimize build/test cycles and ensure robust designs.
• Work cross‑functionally with business, quality, electrical/test, and industrial design teams to meet product requirements for safety, quality, performance, and cost.
• Take ownership of development tasks and drive timely completion.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years' experience in product design engineering (mechanical/electromechanical products) from concept to commercialization.
• Proficiency with 3D solid modeling and 2D drawing generation (SolidWorks preferred).
• Strong mechanical aptitude and logical/analytical problem‑solving skills.
• Experience preparing validation/verification plans and technical documentation.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Proven expertise designing plastic parts for injection molding and high‑volume manufacturing.
• Experience with sheet metal design.
• Consumer products design experience, including innovation activities (customer research, conceptualization).
• Experience working with international contract manufacturers.
• Familiarity applying FEA, DOE, FMEA, tolerance analysis, and statistical methods to product development.
• Experience with product cost management and DFM practices.
• Proficiency with project tracking tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Workfront, etc.).
