About the Role   As our Senior Product Design Engineer , you will do more than design products ; you will redesign how we design them. This role owns the remapping of our product design process around speed to solution: getting from a customer problem to a prototype in hand, and from prototype to a validated, production-ready design, in a fraction of the time it takes today. The emphasis is on adopting and integrating design automation tools that already exist, evaluating and deploying commercially available CAD, configurator, simulation, and rapid-prototyping capability rather than building every tool from scratch, and customizing only where off-the-shelf capability falls short. You will still own hands-on design, prototyping, testing, and design modification recommendations for thermal products and systems.     Watlow understands that you can’t do your best work if you don’t have a real understanding of...
