Provide technical mentorship and guidance to cross-functional team members. Serve as a trusted technical partner and advisor, driving consensus among engineers, product managers, and leadership on complex technical decisions.
Own the manufacturing BOM and Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process for complex systems. Source critical suppliers and parts, creating robust documentation for outsourced components.
Develop and document comprehensive system-level requirements for prototype and production vehicle systems, considering all sub-systems and translating complex technical challenges into measurable business outcomes (e.g., manufacturability, efficiency).
Help define the technical roadmap and architecture, proactively identifying cross-functional dependencies and risks based on technology and business needs.
What we're looking for:
10+ years relevant experience, preferably in the automotive, robotics, or automation fields, with a proven track record of driving goal-level impact across multiple teams or subsystems.
Expert-level experience designing and fabricating prototypes using advanced CAD tools (e.g., Solidworks and Catia V5) and manual methods.
Expert ability to operate machine tools (mill, press, CNC, etc.), as well as standard mechanics and power tools; extensive experience with 3D printing tools and rapid prototyping techniques for complex systems.
Deep comfort debugging, disassembling, modifying, and installing electrical and mechanical systems in vehicles, anticipating system-level integration challenges.
Expert experience in specifying, integrating, troubleshooting, and testing electronics, motors, and sensors within highly complex mechatronic systems.
Expert-level expertise with manufacturing BOM and ECN processes, and experience with supplier management for high-complexity, cross-functional assemblies.
Proven ability to work effectively within rigid design, integration, and time constraints, delivering high-quality, scalable, and reliable execution.
Advanced proficiency in collaboration, including the ability to build strong partnerships and drive consensus among engineers and stakeholders. Ability to communicate clearly and proactively, ensuring technical risks and trade-offs are well understood across all stakeholders, including occasional work outside of standard hours to accommodate international collaboration.
