How YOU Will Make an Impact
· Lead consumable product development for high‑volume injection‑molded plastic components, taking designs from early concept through tooling release, validation, and production launch.
· Drive project technical leadership, coordinating design activities across cross‑functional teams including manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and external suppliers.
· Own DFMEA, PFMEA, and structured risk mitigation activities to ensure robust designs capable of meeting performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.
· Partner closely with external molders and tooling suppliers to optimize part design for manufacturability, cost, yield, and cycle time.
· Apply structured problem‑solving techniques (root cause analysis, DOE, failure analysis) to resolve design, manufacturing, and field issues.
· Select and validate polymer materials based on functional requirements, chemical compatibility, processability, and long‑term reliability.
· Create high‑quality CAD models and drawings (SolidWorks) including detailed GD&T, tolerances, and specifications to support global manufacturing.
· Perform tolerance stack‑ups, mold flow analysis interpretation, and FEA as appropriate to validate performance and manufacturability.
· Lead design verification and validation planning and execution; analyze results, debug failures, and implement corrective actions.
· Provide technical support to sustain existing consumable products, including quality escalations, cost‑reduction initiatives, and supply chain changes.
· Contribute to the design and integration of electro‑mechanical sub‑systems (actuators, sensors, assemblies) as a secondary responsibility.
