Product Engineer Jobs in Illinois

A Product Engineer in the manufacturing engineering industry is responsible for designing, developing, testing, and evaluating integrated systems for producing products.

They work to improve production methods, determine manufacturing costs, implement quality control standards, and develop user manuals. Their goal is to ensure that the manufacturing process is as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

Important skills for a Product Engineer include strong analytical skills, excellent problem-solving abilities, and a good understanding of engineering science and technology.
