Sr. Design Engineer – New Product Development Engineering

Designs components optimized for high ‑ volume manufacturing , assembly efficiency, tooling capability, and supplier process constraints.

Partners with Sourcing and suppliers to evaluate manufacturing processes, tooling concepts, and cost drivers early in development.

Actively supports value engineering / cost ‑ down initiatives without compromising performance or quality.

Ensures designs comply with internal standards, regulatory requirements, and applicable UL / ANSI / CSA / ISO expectations.

Defines DFMEA inputs, design risks, and mitigation strategies for owned designs.

Develops and executes design verification plans including tolerance validation, stress analysis, durability testing, environmental testing, and abuse testing.

Uses data‑driven test results to refine designs and confirm requirements are met with appropriate margin.

Reviews and approves engineering changes, deviation requests, and corrective actions related to owned designs.

Cross ‑ Functional Collaboration

Works closely with Product Management to translate customer needs and CTQs into clear engineering requirements.

Supports Manufacturing Engineering during pilot builds, PPAP, and ramp‑up by resolving build issues and incorporating feedback into design revisions.

Collaborates with Quality, Compliance, and Reliability teams to support certifications, audits, and failure investigations.

Provides clear technical communication to global engineering, sourcing, and supplier teams.

Contributes to the development and improvement of design standards, test methods, and engineering processes.

Occasional travel (approximately 3–10% ) to suppliers, manufacturing sites, or test facilities.
