  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to support plant trials, troubleshoot issues, and optimize product/process performance.

  • Analyze test data, evaluate product performance, and prepare technical documentation such as specifications, drawings, and qualification reports.

  • Partner with product management and commercial teams to identify market needs, evaluate customer requirements, and support new product introductions.

  • Participate in cost‑reduction initiatives, design‑to‑cost activities, and continuous improvement projects.

  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (UL, CSA, ICEA, IEEE, etc.) and support certification activities.

  • Work cross‑functionally with R&D, quality, operations, and materials engineering to drive product improvements and resolve technical challenges.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Chemical, or related field).

  • Hands‑on experience in product development, design, testing, or manufacturing engineering.

  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to interpret technical data.

  • Clear communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Preferred Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in cable, wire, polymers, or industrial manufacturing.

  • Familiarity with industry standards (UL, CSA, ICEA, IEEE) or product certification processes.

  • Experience supporting plant trials, process troubleshooting, or design‑to‑cost initiatives.

  • Background in materials, extrusion, compounding, or mechanical performance testing.

  • Experience with CAD tools, statistical analysis, or design of experiments (DOE).
