Help shape the next generation of smart baby care products. At Philips Avent, we’re creating meaningful innovations that support parents and babies worldwide. As Senior Product Innovation Engineer, you’ll combine mechanical engineering with data-driven, connected technologies to bring new product functions to life — from idea to validated prototype.
Your role:
* You’ll play a key role in Philips Avent’s Research & Advanced Development (R&AD) team, driving early-stage innovation for our Breastfeeding and Smart Parenting portfolio.
* Lead and contribute to front-end exploration projects, developing new product functions through hands-on prototyping, mechanical design, and software integration.
* Work in a multidisciplinary, agile environment, collaborating closely with engineers, researchers, and suppliers to rapidly test, learn, and iterate.
* Translate consumer and technical insights into functional requirements, build prototypes using 3D CAD, sensors, Arduino, and Python-based data tools, and present clear, data-driven recommendations to stakeholders.
* This role offers strong growth potential, developing your technical leadership and innovation capabilities while contributing directly to Philips Avent’s smart, connected product roadmap.
You’re the right fit if:
* You have a Master’s or PhD in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Biomedical Engineering (or equivalent).
* You bring 5+ years of hands-on experience in product or function development, ideally within consumer or medical technology.
* You’re a creative maker with experience in 3D CAD, rapid prototyping, electronics integration, and Python for data analysis or automation.
* You have proven ability to lead technical activities, coordinate small teams, and present clear, data-driven decisions to management.
* You combine strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to balance innovation freedom and delivery focus.
* You thrive in dynamic, cross-functional teams, with strong communication and stakeholder management skills to align and influence others.
* You have experience working with international suppliers and exposure to Asian manufacturing ecosystems (preferred).
