Manufacturing & Continuous Improvement

Lead design-for-manufacturability initiatives to improve quality, efficiency, and cost performance.
Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, and Quality teams to optimize new and existing products.
Identify opportunities for cost reduction through design simplification, material optimization, supplier alternatives, and process improvements.
Support supplier evaluations, alternate sourcing initiatives, and obsolescence management efforts.
Participate in prototype builds, first article inspections, and production launch activities.
Conduct root cause investigations and implement corrective actions for design, production, supplier, and field-related issues.
Review and approve engineering drawings, technical documents, and engineering releases.

Business Development & Technical Proposals

Support proposal development and customer quotations through technical analysis and engineering planning.
Review customer specifications, RFPs, and RFQs to evaluate engineering scope, certification requirements, technical risks, and project assumptions.
Develop innovative and cost-effective design solutions that support customer value and business growth.
Provide technical input on product configurations, installation approaches, certification strategies, and project execution plans.
