Product Engineer

What you’ll do:

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Responsible for executing assigned engineering projects and delivering defined scope elements within established timelines. Investigates technical issues, develops solutions, and coordinates with cross-functional teams to support NPI, sustaining, and qualification activities. Provides technical input to support decision-making and may lead small-scale projects.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: 
•    Supports product development (NPI) and sustaining projects by executing low to medium complexity engineering tasks aligned with program and business objectives
•    Owns assigned ACES deliverables within the PROLaunch process and ensures readiness for gate reviews
•    Develops and releases conceptual and detailed 3D CAD designs and drawings (e.g., SolidWorks) for connectors and cable assemblies
•    Applies engineering fundamentals, GD&T, and drawing standards to ensure robust, repeatable, and compliant designs
•    Manages design documentation and engineering changes within PLM systems (ENOVIA), including Change Requests and Change Orders (CR/CO)
•    Supports material changes, supplier-related updates, and cross-functional coordination with supply chain to evaluate and implement product or process modifications
•    Supports and owns defined portions of testing, validation, and qualification activities across regulatory, industry, military, and customer requirements, ensuring proper documentation and traceability
•    Leads or contributes to failure investigations, root cause analysis (RCCA), and corrective action activities, and supports non-conformance-related processes
•    Supports quality and compliance activities including MRB, NOE, FAIR documentation, inspections, and related technical assessments
•    Coordinates prototype builds and supports product transfer to manufacturing, including transfer of design authority
•    Ensures designs comply with applicable aerospace and industrial standards, customer specifications, and regulatory requirements
•    Provides technical support and recommendations, participates in customer interactions, reports project status to stakeholders, and prepares technical documentation and presentations
