Engineering Manager (Product Development & Realization)

• ◆Lead execution from concept design freeze through validation, release, and early lifecycle support, ensuring product designs are fully defined, manufacturable, and successfully transitioned into production.
• ◆Set and reinforce high standards for design quality, rigor, and completeness across multidisciplinary teams (ME/EE), using active involvement in design reviews, project planning, DFMEA, validation, and day-to-day coaching to elevate technical judgment and work quality.
• ◆Integrate design, validation, manufacturability, and cross-functional readiness into clear release decisions, partnering with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Product Management to ensure products are prepared for successful production launch and early lifecycle support.
• ◆Define what winning looks like through clear outcomes and performance metrics, and build a culture of accountability by reinforcing ownership, feedback, recognition, and high expectations in the flow of work.
• ◆Co-own execution discipline for engineering processes and workflows—including NPI, VAVE, engineering change, and product realization—in partnership with the Engineering Systems role, ensuring teams follow standard work in ways that improve predictability, quality, and time-to-market.
• ◆Lead the team to deliver strong results with focus and urgency, recognizing when to pivot, reprioritize, or adjust direction quickly to maintain execution momentum.
• ◆Drive structured problem solving and root cause analysis, ensuring issues are deeply understood and resolved with sustainable fixes that prevent recurrence.

• ✓Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, or related engineering discipline; advanced degree is a plus.
• ✓8+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing or product-based environment, including leadership of product development, validation, release, and sustaining engineering activities.
• ✓Demonstrated ability to operate as a technical authority in a multidisciplinary engineering environment, setting expectations for rigor, reviewing work for completeness and sound judgment, and providing direct coaching through design reviews, project planning, and technical problem solving across mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical product development.
• ✓Proven success using data, performance metrics, and operating rhythms to define expectations, track execution, identify gaps, and improve delivery outcomes, including faster time-to-market and reduced downstream rework. Experience building dashboards or similar metric-based management tools is a plus.
• ✓Demonstrated ability to balance execution speed with sound engineering judgment, knowing when to accelerate, when to escalate risk, and when to hold for greater technical or production readiness.
• ✓Strong root-cause problem-solving capability, with experience driving issues to sustainable resolution and continuously improving team execution, decision-making, and performance over time. Experience with structured methodologies such as FMEA, 8D, A3, or similar approaches is a plus.
• ✓Experience reinforcing disciplined use of engineering processes and workflows in a way that builds team belief, engagement, and trust in the process as a driver of quality, speed, and lifecycle sustainment. Experience partnering closely with engineering systems or workflow ownership roles is a plus.
• ✓Working knowledge of core engineering design tools used across the team, with the ability to navigate and review mechanical and electrical design outputs and understand how MCAD and ECAD systems interact to support cohesive product development. Familiarity with SolidWorks and Altium is preferred.
