About The Position

Join a fast-moving, entrepreneurial team bringing a new sensor-based product to the Data Center market. As Product Engineering Lead, you will lead and execute the engineering strategy, helping bring to market a breakthrough fluid analysis sensing platform. You will be the technical owner and directly shape the product from early concept through MVP, production and commercial launch. This role blends hands on hardware leadership with system level thinking, across sensing, fluids, and deployment in mission critical applications. You’ll work closely with product, science, and external partners to make rapid, high-impact decisions—balancing technical tradeoffs, reliability, manufacturability, and field performance. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building from first principles, and love turning messy real-world constraints into a robust product, this role is for you.

Requirements

Electrical engineering background
10+ years of experience developing and shipping hardware products
Experience building sensor-based instrumentation for fluid sampling in mission-critical systems is a plus
Worked across multiple stages of product development, from early design through production and deployment
Owned technical decisions spanning hardware, firmware, and system integration
Comfortable operating in and leading small teams in an early-stage, fast-moving environment

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Lead the development and production ramp of a novel sensing platform, taking it from early system architecture through DFM and manufacturing release
Set the overall technical direction for the product, determining system architecture, interfaces, and integration strategy across sensing, electronics, firmware, and mechanical design
Define and drive build / buy / license decisions, evaluating internal development versus third‑party technologies to accelerate time‑to‑market while managing technical and commercial risk
Build, lead, and scale a small engineering team, ensuring clear ownership, strong technical standards, and effective execution as the product matures
Drive cross‑disciplinary integration, ensuring hardware, firmware, and mechanical designs come together as a cohesive, field‑ready system
Make critical tradeoffs across performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability, and clearly communicate decisions to internal and external stakeholders
Lead the transition from prototype builds to DFM‑ready designs, including component selection, test strategy, production documentation, and supplier readiness
Own validation, qualification, and reliability efforts appropriate for continuous operation in mission‑critical data center environments
Work directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers to execute pilot builds, resolve yield and quality issues, and prepare for volume production
Support early customer deployments and field trials, incorporating real‑world feedback into iterative product and process improvements
