You will mentor Associate Application Engineers, providing them with learning tasks and directing the work of Senior Associate Application Engineers to help them grow in their careers. By using informal leadership and highly developed communication skills, you will achieve team commitments and influence others to do the same. You will have oversight on design decisions and guide your team to achieve key results for the products assigned to you, remediating issues using engineering principles and creating proactive design solutions for potential failures.
