* Promote strong engineering governance, data management, and system maintenance.
What We're Looking For:

* Strong people management experience—able to lead, coach, and inspire engineers across multiple disciplines and both in-house and remotely.
* Proven experience in delivering complex electro-mechanical engineering projects and managing engineering budgets.
* A technical bias in electronic engineering or software engineering would be highly advantageous, although any electromechanical product background would be considered.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence at all levels.
* Strategic thinker who is hands-on and detail-oriented when needed.
* Experience with project management tools.
* Willingness to travel and flexibility to support international teams.
Qualifications:
