• Strong mechanical design and problem-solving skills
• Experience investigating product or field failures
• An understanding of fabrication and manufacturing processes
• Experience working with engineering drawings and 3D CAD
• CREO experience would be a distinct advantage
• The ability to work cross-functionally with production, purchasing and aftermarket teams
