  • Benchmark new technologies, evaluation methods, and industry best practices to strengthen product performance
  • Work closely with Product Management, Quality, Operations, and Supply Chain to ensure seamless development flow
  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments (DFMEA, PFMEA), and readiness gates throughout development
  • Provide senior‑level mentorship and technical guidance to engineers, lab personnel, and technicians
  • Generate high‑quality engineering reports, summaries, and technical justifications for internal and external audiences
  • Ensure all technical work meets compliance expectations for GR standards, customer audits, and QMS requirements
  • Maintain complete, auditable documentation of test methods, configurations, and results
  • Identify opportunities to accelerate product development through automation, advanced analysis, or improved evaluation methods
  • Lead Kaizen projects targeting cycle time reduction, increased test throughput, or improved reliability prediction models
  • Introduce data‑driven methodologies and digital tools for test execution, reporting, and traceability

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • 0-2 years of engineering experience in R&D or product development
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a dynamic team environment
  • Rapidly grasp and utilize new methods and technologies as a junior engineer
  • Proficiency with injection molded and sheet metal part design
  • Strong communication, reporting, and documentation skills
  • Solid understanding of laboratory safety and quality systems (ISO 9001 / 17025)
  • Trained in 3D modeling using Creo
  • Experience with prototype fabrication methodologies. i.e. machining, printing, injection molding…

Nice to have

  • Strong background in telecom outside plant, harsh‑environment products, or similar industries
  • Proven experience interpreting and applying Telcordia Generic Requirements or equivalent specifications
  • Experience with GR‑771, GR‑487, GR‑3108, GR‑63, or similar environmental/qualification standards
  • Advanced knowledge of product development frameworks (APQP/PPAP)
