About The Position

As a Mechanical Engineer III, you’ll be part of our Tools & Outdoor team working as an on-site employee. You’ll get to lead 6-21 months long product development programs using the SBD Phase Gate process by applying critical thinking, analysis and problem solving to design new products based on defined customer CTQs. You will provide leadership in design, technical aspects, and project scheduling. You will prepare feasibility/lean study for proposed ideas of new product development, including competitive research and analysis, product function and features proposal, technical requirements confirmation, project schedule arrangement and budget planning etc. You will create working models of new product concepts using 3D CAD software (CATIA or similar) and subsequently build physical prototypes to support product development. You will conduct new product development and improvement to existing products by working closely with global product team on product design, 3D modeling, testing and composition of technical documentation. You will create and maintain engineering documentation such as BOMs, 2D Drawings, Test Plans, and Specifications. You will support R&D projects to keep the process aligned with planned timeline, control the project budget, to achieve all the project goals. You will develop new testing equipment and procedures as needed to evaluate product features and design by performing hands-on and robotic testing using standard and custom power tools and procedures. You will create and execute sampling, product evaluations and documentation including the writing of product performance specifications and test plans. You will analyze test data and make conclusions, determine follow-up actions, and communicate findings to internal or external stakeholders report out/present to the leadership team. You will collaborate with cross functional teams to continuously improve the product functions, performance, manufacturing process and reduce costs. You will support DFMEA and PFMEA sessions and design reviews. You will execute on site visits to communicate with customers, sales and service team, to understand demands and provide timely solutions when needed. You will support end user and customer research for CTQ evaluation and product acceptance.
