- Process data
- Document test results
- Report on status both internally as well as externally to customer
- Interface and coordinate with suppliers to deliver both prototype parts and production solutions
- Support prototype and pre-production build events
- Support production launch for responsible components/systems
- Periodically report out progress and status to program leadership
- Identify when project challenges arise and seek out guidance when necessary
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related degree
- Minimum 2 years of relevant engineering experience
