About the Job

This is a field-leading engineering role for someone who likes hard deadlines, partial information, and high ownership. You will lead a small, mission-critical team responsible for making new operational systems work in the real world, then turning those wins into repeatable playbooks.

What You'll Do

  • Lead cross-functional deployments for new operational or manufacturing capabilities

  • Coordinate software, controls, test, and integration work under real timeline pressure

  • Support line launches across internal sites, partner settings, and select international efforts

  • Unblock critical-path issues and drive convergence across technical teams

  • Turn one-off deployments into scalable methods, tooling, and operating practices

Required Qualifications

  • Experience leading technical teams in high-urgency deployment or commissioning environments

  • Strong systems thinking across software, hardware, controls, or test

  • Ability to make decisions quickly and keep teams aligned under pressure

  • Proven record of driving execution where failure is visible and expensive

  • Comfort being highly hands-on when needed

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with forward deployed, field engineering, launch, commissioning, or new-site activation work

  • Experience in manufacturing, industrial, robotics, infrastructure, or other physical-system domains

  • Strong instincts for process design, escalation, and operational triage

  • Ability to translate heroics into systems

  • Experience operating alongside external stakeholders, funded programs, or strategic initiatives
