• Investigating component and product issues, working with Design, Quality, Production, and Supply Chain teams to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.

• Managing engineering change notifications and ensuring changes are properly assessed, documented and implemented.

• Coordinating change-of-source activities when components or suppliers need to be changed.

• Supporting the investigation of returned products and components.

• Reviewing engineering drawings and CAD models produced by Design Engineers and Project Design Engineers, checking technical accuracy and approving drawings where authorised.

• Producing and amending mechanical CAD drawings where required.

• Carrying out tolerance analysis and assessing the impact of engineering changes on component fit, function and manufacture.

• Working closely with internal stakeholders to balance engineering requirements, product quality, cost and manufacturing considerations.
