  • Demonstrated ability to architect robust, manufacturable systems rather than isolated components
  • Experience working in highly cross-functional environments alongside electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and systems engineers
  • Experience designing for medium- to high-volume production, including sheet metal, machined, and injection-molded plastic components
  • Experience designing large welded assemblies, structural frames, and industrial equipment is a strong plus
  • Proven track record of taking products from blank-sheet concept through prototyping, validation, production release, and field deployment
  • Strong intuition for balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and development speed
  • Comfortable operating with high ownership, ambiguity, and technical autonomy in fast-paced engineering environments
  • Excellent communication and technical decision-making skills, with the ability to influence across disciplines
  • Passion for building elegant, practical hardware systems that operate reliably in the real world
