  • Utilize BOMs and CAD models to develop initial manufacturing cost estimates of parts and assemblies based on market information and supplier feedback. What You'll Bring:
    • 3+ years of experience in New Product Introduction (NPI) in hardware development and BS degree in mechanical/ manufacturing engineering or related field

      The salary range for this role is $124,250 - $153,270. The range listed is what we reasonably expect to pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and may be modified in the future. Actual compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, depth of experience, certifications, and specific work location.
