About the Role

We’re looking for a seasoned hybrid builder who thinks like a designer and executes like a hardware product manager. You’ll own products end-to-end: from insights and early sketches → prototyping, tooling, testing → certifications, manufacturing → launch.

aesthetics, engineering, quality, timelines, consumers, and costs

Key Responsibilities

• Lead product design from concept sketches to CAD, CMF, prototyping, EVT/DVT/PVT, and golden sample approvals.

• Develop and own the CMF strategy: materials, finishes, textures, coatings, durability validation.

• Collaborate with tooling vendors, ODM/OEM factories, and manufacturing partners to ensure feasibility, DFM, DFA, and smooth transition from proto → mass production.

• Conduct competitor teardowns, benchmarking, and usability studies to identify gaps and opportunities.

• Run consumer interviews, prototype testing, and incorporate insights into rapid iterations.

• Write PRDs and collaborate with design, engineering, and supply chain teams to translate insights into execution.

• Analyze pricing models and competitive landscapes to support product positioning and recommendations.

• Work with the supply chain on BOM finalization, vendor qualification, SKD/CKD strategy, cost negotiation, and NPI sequencing.

• Define product roadmaps, business cases, feature prioritization, and pricing strategies.

• Coordinate cross-functionally with design, engineering, operations, QC, marketing, and leadership teams.

• Oversee packaging briefs, accessory planning, instruction manuals, and unboxing experience.

Requirements

• Strong portfolio of shipped physical products from concept → production.

• Deep understanding of plastics, metals, coatings, tooling, manufacturing processes, and DFM/DFA.

• Strong understanding of hardware reliability, thermal management, safety standards, and compliance.

• Experience working directly with factories (ODM/OEM).

• Excellent analytical skills for pricing, BOM analysis, and market benchmarking.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate across multiple teams.

What We Offer

• Work directly with the Founding Team.

• Ownership of market-defining products engineered for Better Modern Living.

• A design-led, globally ambitious environment where hardware and aesthetics meet.

• Opportunity to build iconic consumer products from zero to scale.
