- Integrate fluid power and drive mechanics — hydraulics, pneumatics, servo systems
- Conduct early-stage design reviews for safety, pinch points and ergonomics before shop release
- Serve as technical contact for global clients; manage BOM engineering releases
What you need:
- BSME, or 5–10 years of verifiable ground-up custom equipment design experience
