  • Lead complex investigations using engineering analysis and experimental evidence to resolve product and production issues.
  • Lead technical risk assessments and coordinate mitigation and verification of corrective actions.
  • Translate customer and business needs into technical requirements and development priorities with relevant stakeholders.
  • Ensure documentation captures consistent requirements, interfaces, decisions, and validation results across teams.
  • Mentor engineers and share technical knowledge to strengthen team capability.

Education and Experience Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of R&D and product development experience, with demonstrated success developing complex systems and leading cross-functional technical efforts.
  • Experience making substantial technical contributions through design, prototyping, integration, and validation.
  • Strong technical depth in a relevant field and the ability to understand interactions across a complete system.
  • Demonstrated ability to guide cross-functional technical work, build alignment on design decisions, and drive execution.
  • Experience evaluating system-level trade-offs and resolving complex design or integration problems.
  • Ability to structure investigations, design effective experiments, interpret data, and verify engineering solutions.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to build agreement and explain technical recommendations clearly.

Preferred Skills and Abilities:

  • Experience developing precision products, sensors, metrology systems, scientific instruments, or semiconductor equipment.
  • Experience guiding a multidisciplinary development effort from concept through production release.
  • Experience with calibration, measurement systems, test fixtures, or manufacturing-process development.
