Production Launch & Manufacturing Support:

· Support the transition of new products into mass production

· Troubleshoot design and manufacturing challenges during production ramp-up

· Review product samples, quality data, and inspection feedback to drive product improvements

· Partner with factory manufacturing teams to improve product quality, cost efficiency, and manufacturability

· Assist global engineering teams with technical requirements and production support

Requirements:


Required Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field

· Strong organizational, problem-solving, and project coordination skills

· Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines

· Excellent communication and collaboration abilities

· Ability to work effectively with global and cross-functional teams


Preferred Experience:

· Internship, co-op, senior design project, or professional experience in mechanical engineering or consumer products

· Experience with project engineering or project management

· Experience designing production components for manufacturing processes such as:
