In the first 12 months you will:
- Independently own mechanical design work for assigned product features components or sustaining initiatives from concept through validation and release.
- Deliver reliable manufacturable and serviceable designs that appropriately balance performance cost quality and schedule.
- Drive product improvements byidentifyingroot causes and partnering across manufacturing quality and supplychainto implement well-documented design solutions.
- Execute mechanical design and development for new and existing products with anemphasis on injection-molded plastic components
- Create detailed 3D models assemblies and production-ready drawings in SolidWorks or an equivalent CAD system
- Translate product requirements into mechanical design specifications and contribute to design reviews and technical decisions
- Design precision electromechanical assemblies and enclosures and manage the full product lifecycle from concept and prototyping through production tooling and sustainment
- Apply design for manufacturability and design for reliability principles to improve robustness quality yield and long-term product performance
- Perform tolerance analysis structural and thermal validation and root-cause analysis on mechanical issues
- Collaborate with electrical engineering firmware industrial design supply chain quality and manufacturing partners to ensure cohesive system integration
- Work directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers includinginternationalpartners to improve manufacturability and yield
- Support tooling fixture test-equipment design prototype builds factory validation test plans failure analysis and design-transfer activities
- Manage andmaintainCAD data bills of materials engineering change orders test plans and other engineering documentation using Arena PDM
- Ensure compliance with Evolv quality-system and product-certification standards including UL and CE requirements and support risk assessments and DFMEA development
- Research emerging materials manufacturing processes and design methods; propose and prototype creative solutions that improve performance and cost efficiency
