• Proficiency in MATLAB for data analysis, modeling, optimization or automation
• Familiarity with tool grinding and related CAM platforms (ToolStudio, VGPro)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical decisions and engineering rationale across functional teams
• High degree of accuracy, discipline, and professional judgment in documentation and revision control

Responsibilities

• Develop and manage computational models and analysis tools in MATLAB to support performance prediction, optimization and data processing
• Build accurate FEA and simulation models that reflect realistic material behavior, loading conditions and boundary constraints
• Evaluate and interpret analytical predictions with empirical test results to improve model fidelity
• Maintain and continuously improve simulation standards, modeling templates and computational best practices
• Create detailed 3D models and production‑ready prints using advanced CAD methodologies supported by tolerance analysis
• Generate, validate and release initial tool programs using platforms such as Tool Studio, VGpro and Numroto
• Maintain comprehensive technical design logs documenting analytical assumptions, engineering reasoning, and design decisions
• Create and manage engineering data imports to ensure accurate product creation, release, and traceability across enterprise systems
• Ensure precise transfer of geometry, program data, and BOM structures into cross‑functional systems, and resolve discrepancies or technical issues
• Provide technical documentation and guidance to manufacturing, operations, and supply chain stakeholders
• Demonstrates ongoing industry engagement around best practices and trends through professional study, field visits, tradeshows, and literature review.
