This person will be a creative problem solver with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously, confident in mechatronics design solutions, well-organized, and self-motivated. The position requires enthusiasm, tenacity, creativity, flexibility, resiliency, excellent oral and written communication skills, and a professional and courteous personality.Additional details about what you will be doing includes:

• Prepare SOW's/proposals for incoming business
• Produce detailed 3D models of parts, complete mechatronic assemblies, and OEM products
• Apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles to demonstrate capability and reproducibility in the system output
