  • Conduct design reviews, DFMEA, and ensure adherence to machine safety and ergonomics standards (ISO 13849, CE, etc.).
  • Validate prototype designs and support machine trials and debugging.
  1. Supplier and Customer Interface
  • Interact with suppliers for critical components (robots, actuators, sensors, control panels, etc.).
  • Support RFQ preparation, technical evaluation, and vendor finalization.
  • Manage customer reviews, FAT, SAT, and documentation.
  • Maintain strong communication with customers to ensure technical alignment and project transparency.
  1. Quality & Documentation
  • Ensure all deliverables meet design and performance specifications.
  • Maintain design documentation, BOMs, and revision control in PDM/ERP systems.
  • Prepare technical manuals, training documents, and handover packages.
