Coordinate with product management industrial design and fitness experts to ensure equipment meets market demands user ergonomics and performance standards

Ensure process is followed checklists and documentation are maintained and project milestones and deadlines are met

Lead the integration of mechanical components (structure biomechanics) electrical systems (motors power supplies sensors controls) and software interfaces into a unified product

Use CAD software and other engineering tools to create detailed models analyze designs and support the creation of engineering drawings schematics and design guideline documents

Design and execute comprehensive testing protocols for prototypes to verify the system meets specifications and safety standards (e.g. ISO ASTM CE) develop test plans

Analyze test data to identify issues perform root cause analysis of system failures and implement design modifications

Ensure all designs and manufacturing processes comply with relevant health safety and regulatory standards

Implement quality control procedures and participate in design reviews to ensure product reliability and durability

Act as the primer technical liaison and communicate between cross-functional teams including Mechanical Electrical Software Manufacturing and Quality Assurance departments

Support the transition from prototype to mass production assisting manufacturing teams with troubleshooting and process optimization
