• Working under general supervision while following established procedures, completing tasks that are critical to project milestones and understanding how decisions impact upstream and downstream activities.
• Communicating clearly with internal teams and, when required, with external partners or customers to support routine coordination and ensure alignment across stakeholders.

Skills You Bring to This Role:

• Bachelor of Science degree in an Engineering discipline is required.
• At least 2+ years of engineering related experience required.
• Familiarity with applying engineering requirements to manufacturing processes.
• Strong communication skills with customers and stakeholders beyond the immediate team.
