Job Description

Hardware Product Lead

Location : Los Angeles, CA (Onsite)

Compensation : $120,000-$145,000

About the Role

The Hardware Product Lead owns SprintRay hardware products end-to-end—from concept through mass production. This is a highly technical, hands-on product role for someone with a strong engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial) who can translate complex technical constraints into clear product decisions.

You will act as the single accountable owner for assigned hardware products, driving execution across engineering, manufacturing, firmware, regulatory, and go-to-market teams. You will lead EVT / DVT / PVT, partner closely with China manufacturing, and ensure products ship on time without compromising quality, performance, or reliability.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and product judgment. You are fluent in hardware development details (DFM, tolerances, power systems, thermal considerations, manufacturability) while balancing timelines, cost, user needs, and business priorities.

Key Responsibilities

Own hardware product execution from concept through mass production, including roadmap delivery, schedules, milestones, and risk management

Serve as the single product owner for assigned hardware platforms, accountable for technical, schedule, and quality outcomes

Partner with Mechanical, Electrical, and Firmware Engineering to define requirements, resolve design tradeoffs, and drive technical decisions

Lead EVT / DVT / PVT planning and execution, including test strategies, validation plans, and production readiness

Collaborate with China-based manufacturing partners on DFM, tooling, production ramp, quality control, and yield improvements

Work closely with Device Software Product Specialist to align firmware behavior, power management, connectivity, and system performance

Partner with Industrial Design and UX to deliver intuitive, clinically appropriate products while respecting engineering constraints

Interface with Regulatory and Quality to support risk assessments, testing requirements, and compliance activities

Use field data, telemetry, service feedback, and failure analysis to drive continuous reliability and design improvements

Identify and resolve cross-functional technical blockers across hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and supply chain

Communicate clear product status, risks, and mitigation plans to leadership; escalate early with options and recommendations

Manage hardware product lifecycle, including backward compatibility, hardware transitions, and end-of-life planning

Support product launches in partnership with Marketing and Sales, including positioning, packaging, pricing inputs, and adoption support

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or similar)

3–5+ years of experience in hardware engineering, manufacturing engineering, or technical product roles

Strong technical fluency in electromechanical systems; able to review CAD, schematics, tolerances, and DFM considerations

Hands-on experience with full hardware development cycles (EVT / DVT / PVT, tooling, production ramp)

Manufacturing knowledge across processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, or PCB assembly

Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Quality, Design, and Operations

Data-driven problem solver who leverages test results, field data, and root cause analysis to guide decisions

Clear, concise communicator who can translate technical complexity into actionable product tradeoffs

Bias for action; comfortable making decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Preferred Qualifications

Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechatronics

Experience in medical devices, dental products, consumer electronics, robotics, or precision hardware

Familiarity with additive manufacturing, 3D printing, optical systems, or imaging devices

Exposure to firmware, embedded systems, or connected / IoT hardware

Experience working directly with China-based manufacturers and suppliers

Verbal fluency in Chinese

Travel

20–30% travel, including China manufacturing sites, suppliers, and customer observation visits
