About the Role

We are seeking a Chief Machine Development Engineer to lead the design, build, and industrialization of in-house production machines. This hands-on leadership role involves taking complex electromechanical systems from concept to high-volume production and building a multi-disciplinary engineering team.

Responsibilities

  • Own the requirements-to-architecture handoff, translating product and process requirements into a machine architecture with a concept, risk plan, prototype plan, and production plan.
  • Lead design through prototype and into high-volume production, driving design reviews and ensuring reliable repetition of machines.
  • Build and lead the machine engineering organization, including hiring and structuring engineers, designers, analysts, and technicians.
  • Own machine technology strategy and make-vs-buy decisions, contributing to a multi-year machine roadmap.
  • Work directly with build technicians on the shop floor during prototype build, debug, and first-article support.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, process, and controls leadership, including remote teammates, to integrate machine design into complete production systems.

Requirements

  • 15+ years designing and delivering complex electromechanical or process-equipment systems.
  • Proven track record of taking hardware from prototype to production volume.
  • Integrated-systems fluency across mechanics, structures, electrical power/actuation, and thermal/fluids.
  • Track record leading multi-disciplinary design teams through design, build, test, and revision.
  • First-principles design ability.
  • Comfort working on the shop floor with prototypes.
  • High agency and ability to interrogate specifications.
  • Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent; advanced degree is a plus.
  • Effective communicator and collaborator in a distributed team environment.
  • Flexible with schedule and hours, thriving in a startup environment.
