Responsibilities, but are not limited to<\/b>
<\/span><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
- Lead the concept generation, detailed CAD layout, and geometric rearrangement for the new product variant<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/li> - Build, test, measure, and iterate physical prototypes; this is a highly practical role<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/li> - Articulate the design process beyond CAD drawings. Produce rigorous summary reports, structural justifications, and documentation to support regulatory compliance<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/li> - Work closely with and guide a graduate mechanical engineer who is already in post, providing design support<\/span>
