2. Convert industrial design concepts into manufacturable, production-ready solutions.
   
3. Develop detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, assembly documentation, and technical specifications.
   
4. Perform GD&T (ASME Y14.5), tolerance stack-up analysis, and dimensional validation.
   
5. Design durable products for continuous 24/7 operations.
   

Electronics Integration & Compliance

1. Integrate displays, touch panels, audio systems, lighting, power supplies, cable harnesses, printers, bill validators, card readers, and cooling systems into mechanical assemblies.
   
2. Support compliance with GLI-11, GLI-12, NGCB, UL, CE, FCC, RoHS, ESD, and anti-tamper requirements, including certification documentation.
   

New Product Introduction (NPI)

1. Lead mechanical engineering activities throughout the NPI lifecycle, including Concept, EVT, DVT, PVT, Pilot Build, Production Ramp, and Sustaining Engineering.
   
2. Participate in design reviews, engineering changes, and production readiness activities.
   

Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

1. Perform basic FEA to validate structural integrity and optimize material selection, weight, and product performance.
   
2. Apply DFM, DFA, and DFS principles to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, serviceability, and product cost.
   
3. Support manufacturing processes including sheet metal fabrication, plastic injection molding, die casting, CNC machining, and fabricated assemblies.
   
4. Collaborate with suppliers to improve tooling, quality, and manufacturing efficiency.
   

Validation & Reliability

1. Develop and support Design Verification Testing (DVT), including thermal, vibration, fatigue, lifecycle, environmental, and structural testing.
   
2. Investigate field failures using Root Cause Analysis and implement design improvements.
   

Product Lifecycle & Collaboration

1. Manage engineering documentation, BOMs, ECOs, ECNs, and product configurations within PLM/PDM systems.
   
2. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Industrial Design, Electrical, Embedded Software, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, Compliance, and Program Management.
   
3. Mentor junior engineers and promote engineering best practices.
