  • Broad understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply them to unfamiliar or multidisciplinary design problems
  • Ability to convert ambiguous needs into practical designs and make sound technical decisions with incomplete or evolving information
  • Hands-on experience developing prototypes and integrating, testing, and troubleshooting mechanical equipment
