  • Ensure designs comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer requirements.

  • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo) and PDM systems.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, injection molding, welding) and material selection.
  • Expertise in applying GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and DFM/DFA principles.
  • Experience with design validation, prototyping, and testing methodologies.
  • Ability to analyze complex technical problems and develop innovative, cost-effective solutions.
