Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities:

Investigate product issues, analyze root causes, and recommend resolutions using structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 7-step, FIRG). Execute activities within Product Preceding Technology (PPT), Value Package Introduction (VPI), and Current Product Support (CPS). Apply tools like iDFMEA, Engineering Standard Work (ESW), and simulation models to improve product quality. Coordinate across functions to ensure technical decisions meet customer and project requirements. Own problem resolution for moderately complex subsystems or components. Provide technical support through data analysis, product validation, and engineering documentation. Develop and apply mechanical design specifications using CAD/Creo and standard drafting methods (GD&T). Engage with stakeholders including engineering managers, project leaders, and suppliers. Participate in continuous improvement of engineering processes and documentation. May direct or coordinate tasks for technicians or interns.
