· Cost Optimization: Independently identify cost-savings opportunities in parts, tooling, fixtures

· Design modification: Redesign mechanical parts and assemblies using SW

· Supplier Engagement: Work directly with vendors to evaluate manufacturing capabilities and cost structures. Help to resolve bottlenecks and adopt lower-cost manufacturing methods

· Material Substitution: Research alternative materials based on cost, and or performance improvements

· DFMA application: apply design for manufacturing and assembly principles to help expedite production

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with procurement, quality control and other engineering teams to implement changes

· Testing and Validation: plan and execute mechanical testing to validate redesigned components and include technical papers to report results to teams

· Engineering Change Orders (ECOs): Author, review and release ECOs with updated documentation in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system

· Participate in design reviews and documentation control to satisfy Quality system requirements
