  • Manage mechanical design review processes to ensure accuracy, adapting as necessary to different product types and configurations.
  • Collaboration and Coordination :

  • Interface with electrical design, production, quality, and supply chain teams to support manufacturability, testing, and cost‑efficiency of mechanical designs.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiencies and design quality.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design‑related issues encountered during manufacturing.
  • Participate in pre‑order and post‑order design reviews to confirm technical compliance and mitigate risks.
  • Provide technical guidance and direction to junior designers and engineers, contributing to the development of engineering standards and best practices.
