Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop the Product Engineering organization under the guidance of the Vice President, Technology and Product Management, ensuring alignment to SFMS strategic objectives and growth priorities.
- Provide end‑to‑end engineering leadership across the product lifecycle, including New Product Development (NPD), advanced development/R&D, and sustaining engineering, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and manufacturable product solutions.
- Drive the design, development, and continuous improvement of electromechanical sensing products, with a focus on innovation, product differentiation, and long-term competitiveness.
- Ensure disciplined engineering processes are applied, including design controls, configuration management, and product reliability practices, in compliance with quality management system requirements.
- Build, develop, and coach a high-performing engineering team, fostering technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement while strengthening organizational capability for future growth.
- Champion the development and adoption of new technologies, tools, and methodologies to enable scalable engineering execution and sustain competitive advantage.
- Partner with customers and cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions, ensuring strong technical engagement, responsiveness, and long-term relationship development.
- Demonstrate strong leadership across both technical execution and customer-focused delivery, balancing hands-on engineering involvement with effective team management.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline required (advanced degree preferred).
- 1-3 years leading engineering teams in a product development environment, with direct responsibility for performance management, talent development, and organizational capability building.
- 5+ years of experience in the design and development of electromechanical sensing or fluid/electrical systems, with proven ownership of products across the full lifecycle (concept through production and sustainment).
- Proven track record managing engineering project portfolios and workstreams, including New Product Development (NPD), advanced R&D, and sustaining engineering initiatives.
- Experience operating within regulated industries (e.g., aerospace), with familiarity in FAA certification, product qualification, and compliance-driven development processes strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs.
