- Requirements Concept Detailed Design Prototype Validation Production

- Implement V-Model / Stage-Gate / APQP processes.
- Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA),



and Design for Serviceability (DFS).
- Lead value engineering and cost-reduction initiatives.

- Thermal, Reliability & Environmental Validation

- Own thermal validation plans (steady-state, transient, derating analysis).
- Drive CFD simulations and correlation with physical testing.
- Ensure compliance with:
- Temperature rise limits
- Noise & vibration requirements
- Environmental tests (IP, salt mist, humidity, dust)

- Manufacturing, Quality & Field Support

- Support NPI, pilot builds, and production ramp-up.
- Drive mechanical failure analysis, field issue RCA, and corrective actions.
- Work with supply chain on:
- Vendor qualification
- Localization & alternate sourcing
- Tooling and fixture development

- Improve yield, assembly time, and cost in production.

- Cross-Functional & Business Engagement
