In Engineer-to-Order (ETO) world role of design engineer is very different. By its nature an ETO company builds a unique product designed to meet specification of a single customer. The two worlds of design and manufacturing are closely linked. In many cased design of product continues through product process (design-in-process), incorporating a multitude of engineering changes.
