Major Responsibilities

·       Independently execute conceptual and feasibility studies, engineering calculations, value engineering and design optimization for new products, variants, customer requirements and product-care assignments.

·       Translate functional requirements into technical specifications, develop alternative concepts, assess technical risks and recommend solutions based on engineering evidence.

·       Prepare, review and verify 3D models, design calculations, drawings, specifications, BOM/parts-list inputs and technical documentation; supervise completeness and correctness before release.

·       Independently handle projects or orders and coordinate with manufacturing plants, Product Management, Sales, Purchase, Quality, Service and global counterparts to resolve technical matters.

·       Process offer-permit requests, quality notifications, design changes, approval and validation activities, and ensure release or modification of engineering outputs within the committed schedule.

·       Ensure compliance with applicable standards, codes and regulatory requirements; prepare conformity, certification and audit documentation relevant to the assigned product.

·       Plan and monitor scope, schedule, effort/budget, quality records and project results; support multiple project teams and escalate risks or deviations with proposed countermeasures.

·       Guide Assistant Design Engineers, CAD Engineers and Product Development Engineers, review their outputs, share knowledge and support competency development across the team.
