  • Experience in sustaining, manufacturing, quality, or reliability engineering, including RCCA, CAPA, PFMEA, 8D, or similar structured problem-solving methodologies.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks 3D CAD and 2D drafting, including GD&T and ASME Y14.5, with practical understanding of configuration control, released-product documentation, and manufacturability-focused design updates.
  • Strong analytical, hands-on problem-solving, cross-functional communication, and documentation skills, with the ability to drive issues from investigation through implementation.
  • Experience using SolidWorks PDM or similar systems for configuration management, revision control, ECO release, and manufacturing documentation control.
  • Knowledge of product manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, molding, additive manufacturing, joining, finishing, assembly, and test.
  • Exposure to optomechanical systems, precision assemblies, power electronics, thermal management, or laser-based industrial equipment.
  • Experience using data, Python, Excel, or similar tools to analyze manufacturing yield, test results, field/service trends, reliability data, or corrective-action effectiveness.
  • Experience supporting handheld industrial tools, welding equipment, laser systems, or high-volume released products; Master’s degree in a related technical field is a plus.
