What You’ll Do :

  • Lead a team of engineers experienced in product requirements, performance testing, compliance testing and manufacturing design.
  • Lead end-to-end product innovation — from opportunity identification and concept creation to global market launch and lifecycle refreshes.
  • Be the customer advocate — get out in the field, translate unmet needs into product requirements, and turn insights into high-demand solutions.
  • Drive technology strategy — identify, validate, and integrate the right technologies that deliver real, differentiated value.
  • Prototype, test, iterate — own early concept validation and ensure every new product hits the mark before scaling.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, design, marketing, and ODM partners to deliver exceptional, intuitive, industry-leading products.
  • Seek out and apply knowledge of new trends and innovation to identify not only new products but also opportunities to improve overall consumer experience (Out of Box experience)
  • Develop and manage annual R&D budget.
  • Identify and coordinate with Product Teams and Suppliers, new functionalities and product features while maintaining and / or reducing cost of manufacturing.
  • Work closely with the quality and compliance functions to ensure all safety and regulatory requirements are continuously met.
  • Work closely with the global sourcing organization with respect to vendor selection and qualification.
