• Familiarity with MS Office tools is preferred.

• Design and Application of Mechatronics Systems: Specify electronic hardware and interconnections for control systems.
• Machine Integration and Optimization: Combine subsystems to achieve desired customer output and optimize performance, reliability, cost, and quality.
• Product Failure Mode Avoidance: Identify and mitigate potential product failure modes to improve reliability.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis: Use computational tools to predict product performance and influence design decisions.
• Product Problem Solving: Identify and solve product issues through robust, data-driven solutions and root cause analysis.
• Product Verification and Validation Management: Develop validation plans, assess system solutions, and manage product risks.
• System Requirements Engineering: Translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements and manage them throughout the system lifecycle.
• Systems Thinking: Define systems by identifying linkages and interactions between elements, predict behavior, and suggest modifications.
• Cross-Functional Design Integration: Translate stakeholder needs into virtual designs and conduct cross-functional design reviews.
• Applies Principles of Statistical Methods: Use statistical tools to make data-based decisions.

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a relevant STEM field is required.
• Post-graduate (Master's) degree relevant to this discipline may be required for specific roles.
