Physical Design Engineer Job Description

A physical design engineer designs the components of a product that will be manufactured for use in final assembly.

Physical design engineers work on the design of a product, component, or system before it is manufactured or assembled.

They analyze and specify elements of the design based on end use requirements and specifications.

The physical design engineer will layout how the design will be assembled, testing the design for functionality.

A physical design engineer works with engineers from other engineering disciplines such as electronics, mechanical, or chemical to create a product that performs as intended.
