Learn from all team members especially senior Engineers and Designers while looking for ways to improve efficiency in getting more designs done while maintaining high quality.

An essential part of this role is understanding the real production methods and issues as well as assembly and maintenance challenges so that the design successfully can be made to required form fit and function when the parts are made and assembled. This is a development process so this person will need to be able to interpret and apply feedback into design improvements.
