Next Generation Product Development Lead

A forward-thinking leader is required to spearhead next-generation product development and lead a multidisciplinary team of engineers in various domains, including electronics, mechanical design, and embedded systems.

• The ideal candidate will possess a strategic mindset and hands-on problem-solving skills with a strong background in product innovation, systems engineering, and cross-functional team leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and coordinate the efforts of Electronics, Mechanical, and Embedded Systems teams to ensure alignment with project goals and technical excellence.
• Oversee the design, development, and integration of complex high-reliability systems from concept to production, ensuring performance, durability, and manufacturability.
• Define system architecture, guide technical decision-making, and ensure synergy across hardware, firmware, and mechanical domains.
• Foster a culture of innovation by guiding rapid prototyping efforts, encouraging new ideas, and exploring emerging technologies for next-generation products.
• Ensure seamless integration across electrical, mechanical, and embedded components, with a focus on ruggedized systems for harsh environments.
• Review and approve designs, schematics, PCB layouts, enclosure models, and firmware structures to maintain technical quality and compliance with industry standards.
• Oversee testing, validation, and debugging across all subsystems using industry-standard lab tools and methodologies.
• Plan and manage resources, timelines, and deliverables across multiple concurrent R&D projects.
• Ensure high-quality documentation across all disciplines for manufacturing, compliance, assembly, and certification processes.
• Mentor engineers across disciplines, facilitate technical reviews, and drive collaboration to solve complex challenges in a fast-paced innovation environment.

Technical Expertise: A strong multidisciplinary background in electronics, embedded systems, and mechanical design, with the ability to lead and evaluate work across all three domains. Proficiency in electronic circuit design, simulation, and analysis using tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCAD.

• Deep understanding of PCB design, schematic capture, and multi-layer board development, including best practices for signal integrity, thermal management, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Familiarity with embedded systems architecture, microcontroller platforms (e.g., STM32, PIC), and firmware development workflows.
• Knowledge of ruggedized mechanical design, including IP65/IP68-rated enclosures, thermal design, and environmental sealing.
• Proficiency in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) across electrical and mechanical components.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping and validation, including the use of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and environmental testing tools.
• Strong understanding of product lifecycle management (PLM), BOM management, and technical documentation processes.

Leadership & Communication: Proven ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams, drive collaboration, and manage complex technical programs. Excellent project planning, resource management, and decision-making skills. Strong verbal and written communication skills for cross-disciplinary coordination, reporting, and documentation.

Soft Skills: Strategic thinking and analytical mindset to solve complex, cross-disciplinary R&D challenges and guide teams toward innovative, high-impact solutions.

Education & Other Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or a related technical field. Additional certifications in product design, embedded systems, systems engineering, or project management are a strong advantage. Prior experience in defence, industrial, or high-reliability product development involving integrated hardware, firmware, and mechanical systems is highly desirable. Minimum of 15 years of progressive engineering experience, with at least 7–10 years in a technical leadership or managerial role overseeing cross-functional engineering teams.
