Responsibilities

• Apply design, engineering, and technical expertise designing complex systems from concept to mass production with structuralFinite Element Analysis (FEA) and thermal design simulations.
• Collaborate with suppliers of subsystems and/or individual parts throughout the design and manufacturing process.
• Anticipate and address product design issues or risks, analyze data, and validate product design to suggest or implement design improvements for structural FEA and thermal design.
• Manage the product design, provide guidance to team members, communicate progress, and request feedback to prevent/remove roadblocks.
• Identify the root cause of design, manufacturing, or reliability issues and develop corrective actions. Balance design considerations such as functionality, sustainability, reliability, human factors, manufacturability, and aesthetics.
