- Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret test data and identify failure patterns.
- Experience with rapid prototyping techniques including 3D printing and fabrication.
- 7+ years of experience in system development engineering or NPI engineering roles.
Responsibilities
- Create systematic approaches and best practices for tackling complex, undefined problems across product development initiatives.
- Characterize and validate 3D depth cameras for automated quality inspection systems.
- Design and lead in-depth experiments to verify and validate design hypotheses.
- Drive fast-paced development cycles through rapid prototyping and iterative testing.
- Conduct statistical data analysis to extract insights and inform decision-making.
- Design and build lab infrastructure including hardware mockups and test fixtures.
- Partner with cross-functional leadership teams to establish technical vision and drive strategic initiatives.
