Key job responsibilities
As a Mechanical Engineer within our team, you will engage with a skilled and accomplished cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative technologies. You will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to drive key aspects of technology solution definition, execution and validation. Some of the key job functions of the mechanical engineer include:
• Serve as technical lead and take design ownership of one or more major components or a subsystem through the entire product development life cycle. In addition to technical work, this often includes managing the development schedule for these components/systems.
• Create detailed design specification and validation plans/documentation.
• Build and evaluate prototypes to quickly iterate & improve designs thru rapid learning cycles.
• Validate that subsystems and components meet product requirements, and solve problems when they arise.
• Manage the technical relationship with 3Ps in concert with supply chain to deliver new components to the required specification and required schedule
• Develop one or more areas of subject matter expertise to aid in developing and bringing products to launch – and share this with the team for everyone’s growth.A day in the life
