Job description

Accountabilities

• Review engineering release packages, including CAD models, technical drawings, parts lists, and supporting documentation, to assess manufacturing feasibility, project scope, requirements, and minimum lead times.
• Develop accurate and competitive quotes by combining engineering analysis with platform recommendations and, when necessary, coordinating with external manufacturing suppliers.
• Create cost calculators using manufacturing expertise and an understanding of process cost drivers to support in-house quoting for new services.
• Provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) recommendations, helping customers improve designs, reduce production costs, and simplify assembly.
• Share technical feedback with the quoting software team to improve automated quoting accuracy across manufacturing services.
• Generate high-quality 2D engineering drawings in accordance with ANSI/ASME Y14.5 standards.
• Coach and mentor engineers across U.S. and Global Capability Center (GCC) teams, sharing technical knowledge in fabrication, costing, and DFM.
• Establish, document, and promote engineering best practices, including peer reviews and quality checks that improve technical consistency across regions.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives by influencing and coordinating engineering, sourcing, sales, quality, and software teams without relying on direct reporting authority.
• Provide technical guidance to engineers and regional partners working on shared initiatives, ensuring alignment and progress.
• Contribute to the organization's Quality Management System (QMS) and maintain applicable quality standards.

Requirements:

• A four-year degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical training.
• 5–10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, costing, DFM, or custom mechanical hardware development.
• Hands-on experience with multiple custom manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, urethane casting, and injection molding.
• Demonstrated experience with both CNC machining and 3D printing.
• Strong knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), conventional coordinate tolerancing, and the manufacturing characteristics and limitations of common metals and plastics.
• Experience mentoring or coaching engineers and serving as a trusted technical resource; experience collaborating with offshore or GCC teams is an advantage.
• Proven ability to lead through influence, coordinate cross-functional teams, and manage projects involving stakeholders without direct reporting relationships.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment, manage priorities end to end, exercise sound technical judgment, and drive decisions to completion with minimal supervision.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multicultural and cross-functional teams.
