We are partnering with a fast-scaling technology company building advanced hardware solutions deployed in real-world, high-usage environments. This is a critical leadership hire to drive the mechanical engineering function across new product development, platform standardisation, and sustaining engineering.
This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership capability — someone who can architect robust products while building a high-performing engineering team.
The Opportunity
You will take ownership of the end-to-end mechanical function — from concept through production — ensuring products are reliable, manufacturable, and scalable. You will also play a key role in shaping engineering standards, improving development predictability, and driving cross-functional execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the mechanical engineering roadmap across current and future product platforms
- Drive design and development for new products, enhancements, and cost optimisation initiatives
- Establish and enforce best-in-class engineering practices (DFMEA, tolerance analysis, DfM/DfA, validation frameworks)
- Enhance product reliability through strong design fundamentals, material selection, and failure analysis
- Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing mechanical engineering team
- Define and implement component, material, and subsystem standards to improve reuse and platform consistency
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Electrical, Embedded, Validation, Compliance, Supply Chain, and NPI
- Oversee product lifecycle from concept through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production and ramp-up
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for field and production issues
- Manage engineering resources, vendor relationships, timelines, and execution risks
What Success Looks Like
- Consistent on-time product launches with strong mechanical reliability
- Reduction in recurring field issues through systematic problem-solving
- Structured and effective design review processes
- Increased standardisation and reuse across product platforms
- Improved validation outcomes through early-stage issue identification
- A stronger, more capable engineering team with clear ownership and accountability
Requirements
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 10+ years of experience in mechanical engineering within product-based environments
- Proven leadership experience with team management, hiring, and performance development
- Strong track record delivering products end-to-end (EVT/DVT/PVT to production)
- Experience in sustaining engineering and resolving complex field issues
- Hands-on expertise in design standards, DFMEA, tolerance stack-up, and validation processes
- Experience driving platform standardisation and BOM optimisation
- Strong technical depth across mechanical systems, structures, and high-wear components
- Ability to work cross-functionally across engineering, product, and operations teams
