Engineering Manager-Innovation and Testing
About The Position
This is not a typical engineering management role. You will oversee key technology development and testing for innovative fitness products, leading work that spans design analysis, specialized test equipment, failure investigation, validation strategy, and cross-functional problem solving. This is a hands-on leadership role with visibility, complexity, and real influence on what gets built next. You will lead a team of engineering subject matter experts and operate at the center of innovation, partnering across mechanical, electrical, software, systems, product, quality, and manufacturing functions in North America and Asia. This is a visible leadership role for someone who can move seamlessly between strategy and execution—someone equally comfortable mentoring engineers, reviewing complex designs, guiding risk analysis, and getting hands-on with test methods, fixtures, and technical problem solving.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent engineering experience; advanced degree or MBA is a plus
- Strong background in project engineering, project management, or technical leadership within product development environments
- Deep mechanical design experience with plastics, mechanisms, linkages, machinery, or related systems
- Proficiency with 3D CAD and FEA tools, along with strong engineering analysis capabilities
- Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and inspire engineers in a fast-moving, high-expectation environment
