  • Self‑motivated and eager to understand how things work in a product and share insights with both technical and non‑technical colleagues

Preferred Attributes
  • Understanding of applied fluid mechanics and heat transfer
  • Experience in product design and development, including designing and executing an experimental test plan to guide design decisions
  • Comfortable multitasking and responding quickly to shifting priorities without losing sight of longer‑term projects and goals
