We are looking for a hands-on, visionary Senior Design Engineer to lead the end-to-end lifecycle of our robotic product lines. This role will own the journey from R&D, prototyping to testing, validation, and final product release. The ideal candidate should have a strong mechanical or industrial design background and proven experience managing cross-functional product development involving electronics, firmware, and mechanical systems. This is a leadership role with deep technical involvement, requiring a balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You will work closely with the design, engineering, testing, and manufacturing teams to turn ideas into reality

Key Responsibilities:

Product Lifecycle Ownership

● Lead the full lifecycle of hardware product development — from ideation, R&D, and prototyping to field testing, iteration, and commercial release.

● Define and drive the product development roadmap for inspection and cleaning robots in collaboration with leadership and field teams. Cross-Functional Coordination

● Act as the primary liaison between mechanical design, electronics, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of subsystems.

● Collaborate with field deployment, sales, and service teams to gather feedback for continuous product improvement.

Design & Engineering Leadership

● Oversee mechanical and industrial design with a focus on reliability, manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and user-centric product development.

● Guide and lead the engineering team in rigorous design practices, CAD modeling, prototyping, and design validation.

Testing & Reliability

● Define testing protocols and validation criteria for prototypes and final products to meet performance, durability, and safety standards.

● Lead root cause analysis and corrective action processes to resolve design or field issues.

Experience:

● 9+ years of experience in hardware product development, preferably in robotics, automation, or industrial systems.

Technical Skills:

● Lead the mechanical design process for special purpose machines from concept to completion.

● Develop detailed design specifications and engineering drawings using CAD software.

● Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software developers, and project managers, to ensure seamless integration of all machine components.

● Conduct feasibility studies and risk assessments to identify potential design challenges and propose effective solutions.

● Oversee the prototyping, testing, and validation of new designs to ensure they meet all performance and safety requirements.

● Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and design team members.

● Stay up-to-date with industry trends, technologies, and best practices to continuously improve design processes and outcomes.

● Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations.

● Mentor and guide junior engineers and technicians.

Education:

● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design or relevant stream.
