Working closely alongside development Engineers to support new product design activity. This is a hands-on role aimed at “pulling” new products through from the development team in a timely manner in order to support the output forecast for design projects. It will require support of Engineering staff in both the build and test of product based on the skills acquired working in a production environment.
