Key responsibilities include supporting new‑product development and launch readiness for machined components, identifying critical product characteristics, and evaluating technical feasibility and cost impact. The engineer will lead capital‑investment projects for equipment, work‑holding, tooling and gauging systems, and use digital technologies and CNC simulations to validate layouts and production rates. Lean principles and tools will be applied to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and drive continuous improvement, while providing regular project updates to leadership.
