• Design & Optimization: Support electro‑mechanical design projects from initial concept through full lifecycle support. Enhance reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost‑effectiveness of electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• SME Collaboration: Act as the primary technical interface with internal subject matter experts and external technical partners, and suppliers.
• Escalation Support: Serve as a primary technical escalation point to resolve complex engineering issues for Manufacturing (process yield improvements) and Marketing (customer‑driven feature requests) and Support (reliability issues).

Qualifications:

• Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience: 5+ years of electro‑mechanical product design experience, paired with demonstrated project management responsibility.
• Process Mastery: Deep familiarity with PLM systems and structured Product Life Cycle processes; hands‑on experience managing standard ECO/ECN workflows.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, understanding of PCB assembly integration, cabling/harness design, vacuum equipment, and enclosure mechanics.
• Communication: Exceptional cross‑functional leadership and technical communication skills with proven success interfacing with external vendors, shop‑floor technicians, and business stakeholders.
