Beschreibung
### Responsibilities ###
Project & Supplier Ownership: Take accountability for deliverables within a matrix-organized project structure; actively collaborate with external development partners and suppliers while driving your own core work packages
Full Lifecycle Development: Lead all phases of mechanical development - from initial concept and design review through unit testing, bug fixing, and maintenance - with a current strategic focus on Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Advanced Plastics Engineering: Drive the architectural and detailed mechanical design of complex functional consumables, optimizing for high-volume injection molding and advanced plastic technologies
Agile Collaboration: Participate in defining, estimating, planning, and executing work packages within a sprint-based Agile environment, collaborating closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects, and Developers
Advanced Engineering Analysis: Define and perform rigorous engineering analyses, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Tolerance Analysis, and various physics-based simulations
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, driving complex technical problem-solving and taking ownership of mission-critical tasks
Cross-Functional Reviews: Lead, execute, and contribute to comprehensive technical reviews involving diverse stakeholders across R&D, Operations, and Customer Support
