I argue about David Lee on the internet.
Lol. I appreciate your snarkiness in that ongoing argument.
Im an engineer in design and development for a toy company. Its a dream job for me really.
Nothing better than a dream job, I would imagine. What does it entail?
Im part of a big cross functional team that designs and markets toys. I work with marketers, industrial designers, graphic artists, packaging engineers, and quality assurance. In my role specifically, I wear many hats depending on the day. I provide technical expertise to the up front design process, ensuring functional requirements are feasible, safety, reliability, cost, etc. I also facilitate the execution phase of product development in more of a project management role communicating with our China office daily with the goal of on time delivery to market. Most of our products are made overseas.
I dont often do ground up design work, but occasionally, if I have time and have an idea, I can design and prototype new concepts.
Thanks for asking! In wiritng all this down, I think I need a raise! Although the benefits are sweet. Im currently on paternity leave (we get 5 weeks!).
