Nice To Haves

Demonstrate expertise in as many of the following areas as possible: Electromechanical & Controls Product Development, Manufacturing Engineering & New Product Introduction (NPI), Project Management & Cross-Functional Leadership.

Responsibilities

Support product development activities from concept through detailed design, prototyping, validation, and production launch, following established Product Lifecycle and New Product Introduction (NPI / PLCM) processes.
Contribute to electromechanical system design and integration, including power distribution, control hardware, and field wiring, with emphasis on system‑level decision making rather than detailed component design.
Provide working‑level technical oversight of electrical controls and panel design, including review of electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and I/O architectures to ensure alignment with functional, safety, and manufacturing requirements.
Coordination with controls and electrical design specialists rather than acting as the primary detailed designer.
Working closely with Product Management, support the translation of User Requirement Specifications (URS) into clear system‑level technical requirements and design inputs through the creation of Functional Requirement Specifications (FRS) to guide subsequent engineering design and development.
Provide working‑level guidance on electronics and PCB‑related aspects of product development, including obsolescence management, sufficient to support design trade‑offs, supplier discussions, and risk assessments, while leveraging dedicated electronics expertise as required.
Support and participate in hands‑on testing at component, subsystem, and system levels to mitigate technical risk and validate design intent.
Participate in design reviews, prototype builds, and verification activities; support design refinements through formal design change processes (ECR/ECN).
Ensure development and release of production documentation appropriate to project phase and manufacturing needs, in collaboration with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering teams.
Support manufacturing readiness activities for new products, including pilot builds, design transfer, and production ramp‑up.
Apply manufacturing engineering principles to ensure designs meet Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Test (DFT), and Design for Reliability (DFR) objectives.
Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to resolve production issues and implement corrective and preventive actions.
Define project objectives, scope, deliverables, timelines, and success criteria aligned with product roadmaps and commercialization plans.
Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and resource plans in collaboration with engineering leadership.
Develop and manage project budgets for labor, materials, prototypes, tooling, and external services, and track actuals against budget.
Prepare project forecasts, risk assessments, and status reports for engineering and leadership teams.
Coordinate activities across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams to achieve development and launch milestones.
Lead project meetings, design reviews, and stakeholder updates; proactively identify risks, drive issue resolution, and adjust plans as required.
Ensure compliance with internal engineering standards, quality systems, safety requirements, and applicable regulations.
Work in compliance with divisional health, safety and environmental procedures.
Refrain from removing or altering safety devices or guarding unless hazardous energies are controlled through lockout-tagout methods.
Report any unsafe conditions or unsafe acts.
Report defect in any equipment or protective device.
Ensure that the required protective equipment is used for the assigned tasks.
Attend all required health, safety and environmental training.
Report any accidents/incidents to supervisor.
Assist in investigating accidents/incidents.
