Principal, Design Engineering

The Principal Engineer Mechanical Design develops new mechanical systems and modules while maintaining existing this role you will research mechanical concepts and create comprehensive system solutions using 3D modeling and simulation software. You will complete critical calculations test validate and qualify systems making necessary adjustments to ensure peak performance. Furthermore you will collaborate with cross functional teams including other engineers customers supply chain partners and project leadership to ensure robust and high quality product development. You will continuously refine your designs by incorporating feedback from reviews in areas such as manufacturing testing reliability industrial design and simulations providing dedicated support throughout the entire manufacturing process of the systems you have designed.
