  • Assess new materials, automation opportunities, and advanced manufacturing techniques for integration into future product lines.

What are your skills and experience?
  • Proven track record in cost engineering, cost estimating, product engineering, or a related development-support field.
  • Deep technical knowledge of manufacturing processes, including injection molding, automated assembly, wood, plastics, fabrics, electronics, and packaging components.
  • Strong competency in applying design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly (DFMA) principles.
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret design sketches, preliminary CAD, and technical specifications to build robust bottom-up cost models.
  • Experience leading cross-functional cost-reduction initiatives and presenting project progress to executive leadership.
  • Prior experience in toys, games, soft goods, or consumer packaged goods (CPG) is preferred.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering discipline is preferred.
  • Ability to travel domestically and internationally to support on-site vendor projects.
