About The Position

Key Responsibilities 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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). 5. 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. 6. Performance Input Provide structured performance feedback to Functional Leads for engineers working on the program. Role model engineering rigor, judgement, and systems thinking.
