- Provide direct build-floor support during prototype and pilot events, performing hands-on assembly, fixture setup, fit checks, torque/alignment, and verification activities.
- Rapidly debug and resolve mechanical/electrical/system integration issues, driving containment, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions for build-time failures.
- Partner with vendors/CMs/suppliers on mechanical readiness, DFM feedback, tooling/pilot support, and quality acceptance; maintain robust engineering documentation (ECOs, drawings, validation reports, work instructions, FMEAs) and communicate clearly cross-functionally.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical discipline.
- 6+ years of mechanical engineering experience, with significant hands-on hardware development.
- Demonstrated experience supporting or leading multiple NPI hardware programs.
