Specify replacement components for obsolete or hard-to-source parts
Ensure accurate documentation and execution of engineering changes

Product Ownership & Technical Leadership

Serve as a product expert and technical resource for cross-functional teams
Ensure system designs meet applicable regulatory and industry standards, including CE, UKCA, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, NFPA, ANSI, and others

Define test plan and conduct failure testing as part of design validation and improvement
Coordinate with third-party test laboratories when required

Global Collaboration

Work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams across the U.S.(Orrville, Ohio & Vero Beach, FL), U.K., and Germany
Collaborate across time zones to support global programs and shared technology development
