What you'll do
- Lead, hire, and develop a team of engineers across design studies, CAD execution, prototyping, and design verification

- Optimize designs continuously for DFM, materials, cost efficiency, and consumer value
- Collaborate with Product Development teams in the UK and China and cross-functional partners to get great ideas across the finish line
What you bring
- B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent

- Proven track record delivering robust solutions to complex engineering problems and mentoring the engineers around you
- Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and physics, including fluid mechanics
- Hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical fabrication (power tools, sheet metal, wiring)
- Familiarity with small appliance components: sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs, test equipment
- Excellent CAD skills; advanced Excel for test data analysis
- First-principles problem-solving instincts and a fail-fast, progress-over-perfection mindset
- Clear, direct communicator — equally comfortable presenting to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders
