Investigating product issues and supporting root cause analysis activities
Creating and maintaining engineering documentation, drawings and specifications
Supporting Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) activities
Working closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues
Supporting verification and validation activities
Maintaining product documentation in line with quality and regulatory requirements
