Job Description
The Product Development Engineer (PDE) serves as the technical lead for pre-production manufacturing, translating engineering designs into executable process flows. This role partners closely with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, planning, and tooling) to ensure new products are successfully developed, validated, and transitioned into full production.
In early stages, the PDE develops manufacturing methods, process flows, and intermediate CAD models. As programs mature, this role supports routing creation, prototyping, troubleshooting, and process validation to achieve production readiness and quality compliance.
Key Responsibilities
-Interpret engineering drawings/models and define end-to-end manufacturing process flows
-Develop Manufacturing Control Drawings (MCDs) and reverse-engineer product geometry back to raw material stages
-Establish manufacturing sequences, tooling requirements, and in-process inspection cri...
