Pros
Good exposure to material-driven product development, cross-functional collaboration, and a wide range of customer-facing projects. The role provided opportunities to work on CAD, prototyping, manufacturability, and early-stage concept development across different market segments.
Cons
Project priorities could shift frequently, and the scope of work was sometimes broad compared with the available resources. Career path and role expectations were not always clearly defined, especially for positions that sit between design, engineering, and product development.
