* Collaborate with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and service teams to implement product improvements and resolve technical issues.
* Analyze customer feedback and field issues to develop effective engineering solutions.
* Review Engineering Change Requests (ECR), Design Change Requests (DCR), and implement approved engineering modifications.
* Develop cost-effective design improvements to enhance product performance and reduce manufacturing costs.
* Support prototype development, pilot production, testing, and product commercialization activities.
* Prepare and maintain Bills of Materials (BOM), configurable product structures, and engineering documentation.
* Coordinate with external design partners, suppliers, and vendors for design support and component development.
* Participate in second-source development and component standardization initiatives.
* Create and maintain Engineering Change Orders (ECO), technical specifications, work instructions, and product documentation.
* Support electrical and multidisciplinary engineering teams in preparing BOMs and technical drawings.
* Validate new product designs through field testing, customer visits, and trial evaluations.
* Provide engineering support for production, customer service, spare parts, and after-sales activities.
* Contribute to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) implementation, engineering data migration, and document management.
* Monitor new technologies, competitor products, supplier innovations, and industry trends to improve product competitiveness.
* Ensure compliance with quality standards, safety regulations, ISO requirements, and organizational engineering processes.
* Support intellectual property activities, including innovation documentation and protection of engineering designs.
