Mechanical Engineer
Description:
The Mechanical Engineer (Manufacturing Focus) is a key technical owner responsible for independently solving manufacturing sustaining and quality issues while enabling fast scalable and reliable fulfillment. This role provides deep Manufacturing Engineering capability owning problem resolution from root cause through validated solution and implementation with Design Engineering primarily providing final technical approval.
The Mechanical Engineer drives manufacturability quality cost and production efficiency across existing products new product introductions and acquired product integrations. This role is accountable for developing and validating technical solutions updating engineering and manufacturing documentation and implementing process improvements that reduce cycle time minimize rework and improve service outcomes. Success requires strong technical judgment structured problem-solving skills and the ability to operate with a high degree of ownership in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Mechanical: Design develop and test mechanical components assemblies fixtures and tooling with a strong emphasis on design for quality and reliability Manufacturability (DFM) and serviceability; Optimize materials tolerances and related processes for cost effective and repeatable manufacturing.
New Product Integration: Support new product integration by transitioning designs from rollout to production ensuring manufacturing readiness and process capability
Quality & Compliance: Ensure products and processes meet engineering specifications quality standards and applicable regulatory and safety requirements; Support quality investigations nonconformance resolution and engineering change activities including Engineering Change Notifications and Letters of Deviations; Perform product and firmware line validations working closely with product teams and Quality Assurance.
Process Improvement: Implement opportunities to enhance productivity reduce waste and improve overall efficiency.
Issue Escalation:Work with a high degree of urgency and extreme ownership to root cause and counter measure line down or urgent situations
