  • Ability to maintain accuracy and quality while managing detailed technical work.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for specifications, findings, technical recommendations, and project updates.
  • Ability to interpret technical data and use documented findings to support engineering decisions.
  • Familiarity with mechanical design, testing, validation, and structured problem-solving methods.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.
  • Comfort working in an environment with defined standards, procedures, and quality expectations.

Other Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Prior experience in research and development, product development, testing, or a related mechanical engineering function.
  • Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation, specifications, test records, and development reports.
