• Collaborate closely with various teams-including engineering, manufacturing, testing , and 3rd parties-to ensure design feasibility and integration.
• Develop and execute validation plans, including hand calculations, bench testing, and field testing, to confirm performance and reliability of new designs.
• Release parts and assemblies into the production system, supporting all required documentation and processes.
