- Establish chassis specifications, weight distribution, and packaging to ensure safe, functional designs.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable regulations and industry standards including DOT, FRA, NFPA, ATA, JIG, CSA, and customer requirements.
- Research emerging technologies and drive continuous product improvement.
- Manage project schedules, technical risks, design reviews, and engineering deliverables.
