## About the role

We are seeking a Senior NPI Mechanical Engineer to help establish our mechanical New Product Introduction (NPI) practices from the ground up, guiding hardware programs from concept through early production readiness. In this role, you will be the technical authority on manufacturability, working closely with design, quality, and supply chain teams to build the frameworks, processes, and discipline that let us scale from prototype and beta builds toward repeatable, larger-volume production.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Demonstrated track record of taking products from concept through mass production, ideally in robotics, consumer electronics, or complex electromechanical systems
- Strong working knowledge of DFM/DFA/DFT principles, GD&T, and manufacturing processes (injection molding, sheet metal, machining, casting, etc.)
- Hands-on experience with quality methodologies such as FMEA, 8D, root cause analysis, and SPC
- Proven experience managing supplier relationships, including sourcing, qualification, and issue resolution
- Experience standing up or scaling manufacturing lines at contract manufacturers
