Apply analytical methods including calculations and simulations for the design and optimization of structures and mechanical components
Perform tolerance analysis (including process variability, environmental and material aging) to determine system impacts of assembly fits and backlash
Perform material and process selection for high-volume production determined by considerations of mechanical properties, dimensional capability, cosmetics, cost and supply-chain stability, etc.
Work directly with injection molding suppliers and tool designers to adapt part designs for manufacturability based on material and process constraints
Actively drive every phase of product launch including part design, tool design/moldflow, tool trial and validation, process certification and quality approvals (including cosmetic and dimensional specifications)
Conduct should-cost analysis to determine the fair price of goods from fundamental raw materials through value-adding processing steps including labor and logistics
Manage suppliers to execute projects according to precise design specifications and ambitious timeline commitments
