About The Position

The Associate Manufacturing Engineer will play a key part in the design and development of engineering solutions for parts and components and other designs of lower complexity. This role involves translating requirements into new solutions, proposing and implementing designs, developing simulations or prototypes, and verifying parts or components for low complexity solutions. The engineer will also be responsible for implementing the design of new products and/or product improvements, ensuring designs meet established requirements, and updating/creating detailed design specifications. Additionally, the role includes responsibility for integration, protocol development, and verification of designs, documenting and managing changes, and advancing engineering expertise. The engineer will also anticipate and/or develop/apply risk mitigation strategies, collaborate across functional areas, ensure quality through design techniques and alternatives, perform investigations, maintain adherence to the Quality System, and gather customer feedback for new and/or improved products. For Third Party Manufactured products, the engineer will assess the assigned part/component or subsystem ability to meet corresponding requirements and ensure activities are focused on team priorities, working within a collaborative environment.
