Product Development Engineer

Position Purpose:

Owns technical and analytical execution for assigned Product Development Engineering projects, driving problems to resolution and escalating only issues that require next-level authority or cross-functional decision-making beyond the role's scope.

Acts as the lead technical point of contact across design, process, manufacturing, test, quality, and marketing functions, coordinating these groups as products move from concept through production and distribution. Responsible for keeping cross-functional stakeholders aligned on project status, risks, and decisions throughout each phase.

Holds end-to-end ownership of assigned products across their full lifecycle — including initial development, production launch, and subsequent modifications, upgrades, and sustaining maintenance — ensuring continuity of technical ownership rather than handing off between phases or teams.

• Conduct reengineering to produce models and drawings for existing products
• Develop and coordinate the validation testing for new product launches
• Provide support for newly launched products to improve first-pass yield and manufacturing efficiency
• Provide engineering support and drive cost reduction of existing products
• Investigate the scope and risks associated with potential new products to assist in the development of a business case
• Cost reduction initiatives on current products
• New business initiatives investigations

Minimum Requirements:

• BS Engineering Degree, BSME preferred
• 3 years’ experience on component-level design and launch to production
• Experience with CAD modeling and drawing creation
• Experience with developing validation requirements for products

Knowledge and Capabilities:
