- Engage early with hardware and mechanical design teams to influence component selection and champion Design for Excellence (DfX) and Design for Assembly (DfA) principles

- Oversee the development and sourcing of mechanical commodities

- Collaborate with stakeholders to develop robust manufacturing processes and cutting-edge technology integration during the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase

- Provide leadership in the identification, analysis, and resolution of product quality issues

- Lead and participate in Design and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to proactively mitigate risks

- Perform Mechanical design analysis and provide technical influence to resolve complex thermal design and cost-optimized solutions

- Manage technical lifecycle activities, including defect reduction initiatives and the qualification of new components

- Drive cost avoidance and value engineering initiatives during the pre-production release phase

- Maintain BOM (Bill of Materials) integrity and risk management

- Assess and identify technical capability gaps within the Contract Manufacturer (CM) and supply chain ecosystem

- Develop, analyze, and release comprehensive product documentation for both factory and field environments

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) with 6+ years of relevant experience in hardware product engineering, NPI, and sustaining support
