You should also be the kind of person who can look at the big picture, and intuitively understand all the work that needs to be put in place to achieve it.  

Practically speaking, you will:  

• • Design, build, and test mechanical devices using programmable shape memory alloy technology. 
  • Take potential products through the entire engineering development cycle from concept through to production. 
  • Design and build testing and validation setups.
  • Perform analytical testing to characterize material properties.
  • Solve problems of varying nature and complexity.
  • Support procurement and commissioning of automation, mechanical, and manufacturing equipment
  • Support marketing and business development, production, quality, and research and development efforts 
  • Perform mechanical/material properties characterization under ISO/ASTM standards 
  • Document activities inside a structured Quality Management System. 
  • Work independently in goal-oriented environment.
