Product Strategy & Management (The "PM" Hat):

  • Own and manage the product roadmap, translating company goals and user research into a clear, prioritized development plan.
  • Act as the central point of ownership, accountable for the product's entire lifecycle and commercial success, from concept to launch and beyond.

Technical & Tooling Authority (The "Lead Engineer" Hat):

  • Lead all DFM reviews, acting as the final technical authority on plastic design, sheet metal forming, and progressive dies.
  • Govern the design and validation of all new Tool & Die, ensuring they are robust and cost-effective.
  • Personally leads the design of the most complex mechanical systems, components, and functionalities.

Team Leadership & Mentorship (The "Coach" Hat):

  • Lead, mentor, and actively teach your engineering team, transferring your deep technical knowledge in tooling, materials, and advanced design.
  • Oversee and structure the work of the supporting interns, using them as a "force multiplier" to handle drafting, prototyping, and PLM data.

Qualifications and Skills

  • A technical portfolio demonstrating your hands-on DFM, tooling, and plastics/metal design work is

    non-negotiable

    .
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 8-12+ years

    of progressive experience, showing a clear path from a hands-on engineer to a technical and/or product leader.
  • Core Technical Competencies (Non-Negotiable):

    • Proven, hands-on experience implementing a PLM/CAD platform (specifically 3DEXPERIENCE preferred), including system architecture and workflow design.
    • Strong, hands-on knowledge of Injection Molding & Plastic Design.
    • Strong, hands-on knowledge of Sheet Metal Forming & Progressive Dies.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and teach a technical team.
  • Strategic Competencies:

    • Experience with product strategy, roadmapping, or market-facing product management.
    • Mastery of 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and deep, practical application of GD&T.
