  • Develop design criteria and collaborate on requirements and system optimization
  • Define and establish efficient product lifecycle and production workflows with supply chain and manufacturing partners
  • Perform environmental and performance testing to validate designs and ensure compliance
  • Drive novel manufacturing procedures and hands-on mechanical prototyping
  • Demonstrate ownership of product outcomes across development, production, and operations
