 * Actuators
 * Motors and drives
 * Hydraulic systems
 * Pneumatic systems
 * Pumps and fluid systems
 * Powertrain components
 * Motion-control assemblies
 * Partner with design engineering to improve manufacturability, reliability, testability, and producibility
 * Drive root cause investigations and corrective actions for electromechanical manufacturing issues
 * Develop work instructions, quality standards, and inspection methods
 * Support supplier qualification, process validation, and production readiness reviews
 * Lead DFM/DFA reviews and transition new products into manufacturing
 * Support system integration, validation, and troubleshooting activities
 * Define manufacturing standards, process controls, and acceptance criteria
 * Support failure analysis and reliability improvement initiatives
 * Collaborate with production, quality, supply chain, and test engineering teams
 * Mentor junior manufacturing engineers
