• Ensure H&S compliance through risk assessments and ergonomic considerations.
• Collaborate with hardware and mechanical teams on manufacturing data and SOPs.
• Drive product improvement loops post-launch, including hands-on support, error logging, and in-person feedback gathering.
• Develop predictive reliability models and quantify the impact of design changes.
• Utilise accelerated life testing to identify and mitigate design weaknesses.
  

About You
