This role is the US engineering anchor for the category, leading the subsystems with the most direct consumer KPI and touchpoint impact — the parts of the product that drive star ratings, daily user experience, and brand-critical sensory performance. You will lead a small US-based team of two direct reports focused on KPI- and touchpoint-driving subsystems on our flagship beverage appliance programs, while acting as the category-level technical representative to executive leadership.

• →6+ years of proven experience in Mechanical / Product Design / Industrial Design environments, including at least one full concept-to-production cycle
• →2+ years of people management experience, with demonstrated ability to coach, develop, and hold accountability for a team of engineers
• →Experience interfacing and presenting updates to senior or executive leadership who will be both of a technical and non-technical nature.
• →Demonstrated ability to translate consumer KPIs and qualitative product requirements into concrete, measurable design parameters and test protocols, including DOE planning and interpretation
• →Experience in plastic manufacturing processes and high-volume consumer goods environments
• →Proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo to a high level, with demonstrable experience leading CAD reviews
• →Clear communication of technical concepts to non-technical and executive audiences — in writing, presentations, and live Q&A
• →Experience working effectively in distributed, multi-site engineering environments (US, UK, China, or similar)
• →Flexible, collaborative, and positive — with a proactive problem-solving mindset and comfort working semi-autonomously under ambiguity

• Experience in consumer household appliances, particularly coffee, espresso, or hot-beverage products
