- Collaborating with the Procurement team and suppliers on technical arrangements, component and material selection, specifications, and resolving manufacturing issues.
- Creating and updating part data and bills of materials (BOMs) in the ERP system
Must Have
- Bachelor Degree or Higher in Mechanical Engineering (or a related technical field)
- 3+ years of experience in industrial mechanical design
-
Very good knowledge of Autodesk Inventor (or another CAD system) and technical drawing standards.
