- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and comprehensive technical documentation.
- Collaborate effectively with global cross-functional teams, including R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance, in a virtual environment.
- Provide expert technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and drafters remotely.
- Research and implement innovative design approaches and technologies to enhance product capabilities and reduce costs.
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related advanced technical field.
- 10+ years of progressive experience in mechanical design, with a significant focus on complex systems.
- Expert proficiency in advanced CAD software (e.g., Solid Works Premium, CATIA V5) and FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS Workbench).
- Proven ability to manage design projects, solve intricate engineering problems, and make critical technical decisions.
- Exceptional communication skills suitable for remote collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
- Experience with additive manufacturing or advanced composite materials is highly desirable.
- Extremely competitive salary and significant performance-based bonuses.
