Why Join This Team This is an opportunity to take real ownership of how new products move from concept to production. You will have a direct impact on manufacturability, tooling, automation, equipment, process validation, and successful product launches rather than being limited to sustaining existing production. You'll work alongside experienced engineering, tooling, quality, and operations professionals in a collaborative, family-oriented team environment. As you take ownership of increasingly complex NPI and manufacturing-launch projects, there is room to grow into senior engineering, lead engineering, engineering management, or advanced engineering leadership opportunities.
