Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • NPI & Early-Phase Product Development
  • Lead early‑phase engineering: concept development, feasibility, architecture, and prototyping.
  • Translate product needs into engineering requirements and system-level designs.
  • Own the technical roadmap for the product through NPI and design transfer.
  • Drive fast learning cycles, risk retirement, and design iteration.
  • Technical Ownership & Systems Engineering
  • Define and maintain the system architecture across mechanical, electrical, firmware, sensors, motion control, and integration points.
  • Decompose system requirements into clear subsystem specifications.
  • Lead system tradeoffs and cross-functional decision-making.
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks proactively.
  • Cross-Functional Technical Leadership
  • Provide day-to-day technical direction and priorities for assigned engineers.
  • Coordinate engineering activities across disciplines to ensure integration readiness.
  • Partner closely with Program Management to build realistic and accountable plans.
  • Work with Product, Quality, Operations, and Manufacturing Engineering to align on needs and tradeoffs.
  • Design Transfer & Verification
  • Lead the product through EVT, DVT, and PVT.
  • Ensure the design meets manufacturability, reliability, testability, and regulatory requirements.
  • Oversee system-level verification strategy (performance, reliability, safety).
  • Communication & Influence
  • Communicate technical status, risk, and recommendations clearly to leadership.
  • Serve as the primary technical representative for the product line.
  • Influence without authority across multiple engineering disciplines.
  • Performance Input
  • Provide structured performance feedback to Functional Leads for engineers working on the program.
  • Role model engineering rigor, judgement, and systems thinking.

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related field
  • 8+ years experience developing electromechanical or robotics systems
  • Strong NPI experience: from concept through design transfer
  • Deep systems engineering mindset and ability to reason across ME/EE/FW/controls
  • Experience leading complex multidisciplinary engineering efforts
  • Strong problem-solving, risk management, and communication skills

Preferred

  • Experience bringing robotic or automation-based products through design transfer
  • Familiarity with reliability engineering, hazard analysis, verification planning

What Success Looks Like

  • Clear system architecture and NPI plan the team rallies behind
  • Early risk retirement and fast-cycle prototyping
  • Strong cross-disciplinary alignment and integration discipline
  • Smooth design transfer and high-quality manufacturing ramp
  • Products that meet performance requirements and launches on schedule
