The ideal candidate is a hands-on mechanical engineer with strong product-design fundamentals, sound engineering judgment, and experience supporting products in a manufacturing environment.

• Provide engineering support for existing and legacy products throughout their operational life.
• Investigate and resolve product, manufacturing, supplier, quality, and field-performance issues.
• Lead root-cause investigations and develop practical corrective and preventive actions.
• Evaluate component obsolescence, material substitutions, and alternate suppliers.
• Implement cost, quality, manufacturability, reliability, and serviceability improvements.
• Review proposed changes to ensure continued compliance with customer, regulatory, and product requirements.

• Serve as the primary engineering point of contact for assigned contract manufacturing and build-to-print programs.
• Review customer drawings, specifications, bills of material, and technical data packages for completeness and manufacturability.
• Identify technical risks, documentation conflicts, and missing or ambiguous requirements before production.
• Coordinate customer technical questions, requests for information, deviations, waivers, and drawing clarifications.

• Maintain traceability of product revisions, customer-specific configurations, and approved substitutions.
• Help strengthen product-data governance and engineering release processes.

• Collaborate with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Sales, and Product Development.
• Provide hands-on engineering support during prototype, pilot, and production builds.
• Communicate technical information clearly to engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
• Manage multiple assignments and priorities while maintaining accountability for quality and schedule.
• Mentor less-experienced engineers, designers, and technical personnel as appropriate.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and continuous-improvement initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.

5-15+ years of progressive engineering experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, electronics, or related industries.
