+ Driving collaboration with product marketing, design research, industrial design, NPD/ADV engineering, and project leadership to push the boundaries of innovation

+ Communicating clearly to stakeholders, including design intent, tradeoffs, progress, and recommendations

+ Defining and evaluating critical user benefits, business fit, and technical feasibility

What TOOLS You Bring

+ Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Mechatronics, or related field

+ 1-2 years of experience in product development, innovation, or concept engineering, with demonstrated ability to deliver innovative solutions. Experience on front end innovation teams preferred.

+ Evolving foundation in engineering fundamentals (mechanics, materials, analysis, tolerancing, statics, dynamics, and manufacturing processes)

+ Experience creating and using prototypes, models, or other tools to drive learning and decision-making

+ Experience with CAD, Analysis Tools, 3D Printing, rapid prototyping methods, and office suite

+ Ability to leverage strategy-level critical thinking skills with a growing understanding of supporting disciplines to ensure the right ideas move forward

+ A curious, hands-on attitude driven by extreme ownership and bias toward action

+ Ability to operate with speed, agility, and urgency in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment

+ High interest in tools of trade and improving how they are employed

+ Ability to travel 10-20% of the time (domestic and international)
