• Establish test regimens for products within scope of the project and submit requests to the internal laboratory.
• Deliver complete data analysis to support design recommendations.
• Provide clear engineering information to Project Leaders, Global Engineering Teams, and Engineering Management.
• Prepare and present large mechanical engineering milestone reviews for peer and management review.

• Help qualify new suppliers, both international and domestic, for prototyping, development, NPD, and other supply‑chain needs (travel required).
• Interact with existing suppliers, quality, and manufacturing teams to develop new products and processes and support improvements to current products and processes.
• Provide support for engineering changes including reservation and release of new part numbers and bill of materials.
• Plan and prioritize technical project tasks within your function and requirements to keep the project on schedule.
• Help manage and drive cross‑functional and other support team members’ contributions to keep your actions on schedule.
• May require up to 20% of time devoted to project management across the business unit. Primary focus on independent and cross‑functional technical investigations or low‑complexity Product Support projects.
• Maintain a positive and focused attitude with regular cross‑functional collaboration.
• Serve as mentor and provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Balance workload and priorities on multiple accessory projects of varying complexity simultaneously.
• Foresee and prepare for upcoming deliverables and project milestones.
• Perform various other duties to support the larger business needs as assigned and directed by management.
