You will be responsible for developing concept and architecture designs for Inertial Sensors (IMUs) based on product requirements. This includes understanding product-level requirements and creating/managing mechanical requirements.

You will manage the implementation of new product designs from concept through large volume production. Your role will involve prototype design creation, collaborating with purchasing and suppliers for part development.

You will define and manage the Mechanical Bill of Materials (BOM) for products and identify Mechanical Special Product Characteristics (KCs). You'll also prepare and deliver design analysis reports including DFMEA, FEA, and tolerance stacks.

You will direct the validation and testing of new product designs, ensuring performance meets requirements. A key part of your role will be assuring the completion of thorough design reviews during the product design cycle using analytical tools, development testing, prototypes, and multi-disciplined teams. Finally, you will coordinate cross-functional teams, manage project deliverables, and conduct reviews.
