About The Position

Develop and validate packaging designs for future products through the development of mechanical, thermal, and customer use test methodologies. Develop quality assurance and critical performance for future designs using math models. Run physical testing of packaging and consumer electronics to ensure performance meets internal cost and performance targets. Correlate math models to physical tests to improve the prediction of future simulations to develop new tools, metrology, and materials. Work cross-functionally with multiple engineering and product design disciplines. Provide guidance for Domestic and International engineering services and contractors to be complementary. Develop hardware and software test guidelines and systems to collect analytics on design performance. Create arrays of measurements and failure analysis metrics to benchmark designs. Work with internal and external teams to refine plans, optimizing value tensions between groups. Build positive relationships with supplier teams while driving them to execute validation plans. Statistically analyze data to provide risk assessments and technical recommendations. Collaborate with project teams reviewing materials, manufacturing processes and evaluation testing standards. International travel required 10%. 40 hours/week.

Requirements
