• Create and use automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated, create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilizing house style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions.
• Application of Robust Design, Systems Engineering, Risk Management (xFMEA) and Design in Context to ensure right first time can be achieved.
• Quality Assurance through checking design documents, models, drawings in accordance with RRMS technical requirements and proactive Zero Defects approaches.
• Carry out analyses using formula‑based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g. stability, stiffness, profiles, balance point, weights) and where appropriate, use analytical rules, tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements.
• Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information and data policies.
• Manage product configuration and ensure data integrity.
• Execute sub‑system integration process including the appropriate use of Systems Engineering and Robust Design tools to ensure that the technical attributes of the Sub‑system design meet the agreed requirements.

Basic Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 1+ years of related hands‑on experience; OR
