- Ensure accuracy and completeness of engineering prints, BOMs, and related documentation.
Collaboration & Cross-Functional Support:
- Work closely with engineers and other business functions to meet functional and manufacturability requirements.
- Maintain component databases for broader team including schematic symbols, PCB footprints and vendor information
- Participate and lead design reviews to validate design integrity.
- Interact with vendors and customers to resolve engineering design issues.
Prototype Development & Verification:
- Coordinate procurement of prototype materials and oversee build and verification processes.
- Support cost-reduction initiatives and design improvements for new and existing products.
- Assist in proposal documentation, qualification test procedures, and technical reports.
Quality Assurance & Standards Compliance:
