    • Test stand validation
    • Dyno testing
    • Field testing
    • Durability testing
  • Support failure analysis and collaborate with new product development teams
  • Lead or support cost reduction and salvage initiatives without compromising quality
  • Research, evaluate, and implement new technologies to improve machining and assembly processes

Required Experience & Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success in problem-solving and root cause analysis (A3, 8D, or similar)
  • Strong critical thinking and data-driven decision-making skills
  • Experience working directly on the manufacturing floor with production teams
  • Ability to read and interpret technical data, test results, and customer feedback
  • Experience with quality systems, validation testing, and process control
  • Strong communication skills and ability to influence across teams
