Senior Design Engineer - Advanced

Senior Design Engineer - Advanced Engineering

The Advanced Engineering manager Senior Design Engineer is responsible for leading a team of mechanical engineers, CAD designers and others in theresponsible for delivering on technical solutions for difficult and often challenging design requirements. and development of solutions to technical problems. As part of our advanced engineering team, you will manageevaluate programs, provide in a team doing in depth analysis, and design solutions before the new product development process starts. Your team will reduce technical risk, design new mechanisms, and develop math models directly leading into our new product development. You will help ensure we continue to be market leaders and deliver the best products to our end users.

The advanced engineering manager should be technically inclined with strong leadership skills, and able to provide senior level oversight for core engineering design principles.
