Perform structural validation using SolidWorks Simulation (FEA) to support design decisions.
Design and integrate pneumatic and low-voltage electrical subsystems within mechanical assemblies.
Build and validate designs at our manufacturing facility by hands-on prototyping.
Assist in manufacturing through machine shop work and assembly as needed
Support builds, kitting, and installations, resolving mechanical issues as systems are deployed.
Implement engineering change requests (ECRs) driven by build and field feedback.
Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to reduce BOM cost, improve availability, and standardize parts.
Capture lessons learned and roll improvements into standards, libraries, and future designs.
Who You Are
