A day in this role

You start your morning with a new customer drawing in your inbox. You interpret the specifications, ask sharp questions, and translate requirements into a complete Bill of Material (BOM) for a quotation package. Before lunch, you’re partnering with Sales, Product Management, Manufacturing, and Customer Service to align on a solution that fits performance, timing, and cost. In the afternoon, you review and document an Engineering Change Notice (ECN), then walk the shop floor to ensure manufacturing is ready for a product launch. Along the way, you act as the technical bridge between the customer and our plants, keeping quality high and costs lean.

What you will own

• Translate customer drawings, specifications, and technical documents into manufacturable solutions and new products.
• Create and maintain complete BOMs for quotes and production releases.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Product Management, Manufacturing, and Customer Service to deliver technical guidance and product expertise.
• Drive engineering change management: review, document, and implement ECNs.
• Serve as the technical liaison between customers and internal manufacturing.
• Maintain and enhance existing product portfolios through updates, improvements, and support.
• Lead Design-to-Cost efforts to improve competitiveness without sacrificing performance or quality.
• Advance simplification, sustainability, and continuous improvement across the portfolio.
• Analyze customer needs and recommend solutions aligned with Prysmian capabilities.
• Support product launches with engineering documentation, system setup, and manufacturing implementation.

About you

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• Fluent interpreting drawings/specifications; SolidWorks preferred.
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations and engineered products such as wire and cable products or harness assemblies.
• Hands-on with ECNs and BOM creation/maintenance.
• Comfortable in ERP, PLM, or product data management systems.
• Experienced working directly with customers to resolve issues and support applications.
• Bilingual preferred (Spanish).

Tools and tech

SolidWorks, ERP/PLM systems, and standard product data management workflows.
