You start your morning by opening a new RFQ. You scan part-assembly requirements, clarify the customer’s must-haves, and map out a quoting approach. By mid-morning, you’re sketching a simple assembly line layout and a visual machine concept to align with an Account Manager’s strategy. After lunch, you’re on the phone with vendors, validating component pricing. By day’s end, you’ve built a clear cost model—labor and purchased materials separated—and packaged it in the pricing format the customer requested.
