- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 4-6 years of experience in mechanical testing, validation, or prototype development
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., NX, SolidWorks), with experience modifying existing designs (not just creating from scratch)
