• Collaborate with vendors, suppliers, and factory teams to resolve issues and streamline operations.

• Perform calculations and analysis to support design decisions and ensure product performance.

• Review test data and reports to validate that designs meet functional and safety standards.

• Manage engineering tasks of moderate complexity across multiple projects.

What you know:

You have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Business, or a related field (or equivalent work experience), and:

• Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD software

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Excellent communication and organizational skills

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

• Willingness to occasionally work in hands-on environments (lifting 5–30 lbs, climbing tanks, using ladders)

• Occasional travel to customer sites and/or vendors, less than 5% travel annually
