Job Description

The Lead Engineer will oversee engineering projects, ensuring the delivery of innovative solutions in the industrial and manufacturing sector. This position requires expertise in CFD, FEA, and DFMEA to drive product and process excellence.

• Design and develop new standard subsystems and components in collaboration with internal Centers of Excellence, ensuring alignment with diverse product requirements.
• Lead and approve the development of assemblies and parts that support product architecture with optimised performance and cost.
• Collaborate with the simulation team to enhance the use of simulation tools for design verification and validation.
• Define and manage part, assembly, and structural data within the Product Lifecycle Engineering (PLE) system to maintain a library of reusable solutions.
• Establish and maintain complete documentation to support the reuse of parts in future projects.
• Resolve technical issues across assigned projects by applying sound engineering analysis, managing trade-offs, and using structured problem-solving methods such as A3s.
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with technical teams across global manufacturing and supplier locations.
• Recommend and support improvements to test plans, methods, and equipment for assigned projects.
• Analyse test data, particularly for critical-to-quality functions, in close collaboration with testing engineers and labs to ensure product integrity and performance.
• Support agency approval processes by providing accurate and timely design specifications, complying with relevant standards, and delivering proper samples for evaluation.
• Deliver thorough and accurate technical documentation during product development and review inputs from other technical functions to ensure consistency and quality.
• Coordinate with core technical team members-CAD, Quality, Test Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Model Shop-to provide timely and accurate project data.
• Work with Quality Engineers to execute quality plans for complete devices and critical components, ensuring specifications are upheld in production.
• Mentor junior engineers, designers, and supervise co-op students as assigned.
• Assist in preparing and verifying technical content for patents and legal documentation related to new inventions.
• Perform additional duties as required.
