Proven experience 1-3 years in graphics design and publication using industry standard software (Adobe Suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress) or related experience.
Strong understanding of engineering principles (materials, tolerancing, manufacturing techniques, assemblies).
Excellent attention to detail, strong spatial and geometrical reasoning, and ability to visualize 3D geometry from 2D data.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards of quality and client satisfaction.
Self-motivated, strategic thinker, problem solving mindset with a passion for continuous learning and driving innovation.
Demonstrate integrity, respect for others and ethical behavior.
Preferred Experiences
Technical background in telecommunication technologies including fiber optic, copper interconnect, power and wireless systems.
Certification in CAD software (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional, SolidWorks Certification) or experience implementing CAD standards.
Experience with product lifecycle management (PLM) systems (e.g., Teamcenter, PDM) or BOM management.
Knowledge of FEA/FEA pre-processing, CAM, rapid prototyping or manufacturing workflows.
Exposure to lean design/manufacturing practices or cost-reduction initiatives.
Benefits
Competitive salary and benefits package
Opportunities for professional development and advancement
Dynamic and collaborative work environment
Chance to make a significant impact in shaping the future of wireless connectivity.
