  • CAD modeling
  • GD&T and engineering calculations
  • Documentation standards
  • Promote engineering innovation and design consistency across projects

Project & Resource Management

  • Plan and allocate engineering resources across multiple custom automation projects
  • Prioritize workloads and ensure engineering deliverables are completed on schedule

  • Coordinate with Electrical Engineering, Controls, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Project teams to achieve project milestones
  • Remove roadblocks and support project teams in meeting customer commitments

  • Support initiatives related to standardization, modular product design, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
  • Champion engineering best practices and operational excellence throughout the departments

Qualifications

  • Demonstrated leadership experience, either formally managing teams or leading engineering projects
  • Strong expertise with SolidWorks (or similar CAD software)
  • Deep understanding of mechanical design principles
