  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA); structural analysis of sheet metal components
  • Familiarity with industry-specific standards (e.g., ASME Y14.5 for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing)
  • Previous experience in a leadership or supervisory role

Summary:
