Senior Product Design Engineer

What you will do at VeSync:

• Technical Expert – You will be an authority on consumer product technologies, engineering principles (motorized & heated consumer products), solution selection, manufacturing techniques and material selection across multiple product categories.
• Builder of Things – Build proof-of-concept rigs with a combination of existing own brand components together with new 3D printed or CNC parts, then build custom micro-controller PCBA’s or Arduino controllers to bring it all together that allows cross-functional teams to provide buy-in early to determine suitability on a product roadmap before moving into the internal development process.
• Communicate – You will be a strong and convincing communicator within the product innovation team, capable of making presentations with clean data that demystifies complex engineering studies in an easy-to-understand language for both the Head of Product Innovation, as well as leadership in the US and China.
• Consumer Insights – You will guide our design solutions by forming a complete picture of consumer needs and how new products will address these needs and create a delightful experience.
• Process Adherence – Our global IPD process, whilst continuously improving, is well understood and utilized by our teams in China. An important part of the role will be bringing a structured approach to projects to ensure seamless, accurate collaboration.
• Inspire– You will bring passion, creativity and drive to support a newly created team in product innovation across all of our consumer brands.

What you bring to the role:

• Education - At least a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant Engineering discipline, a BSc/MSc in Industrial Design Engineering is strongly preferred. This is NOT an Industrial Design role.
• Experience - 10+ years in Consumer Product design and development for international markets.
• This MUST include significant experience in motorized and heated products in categories such as: power tools, blenders, vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, ovens, air fryers, etc.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical and electronic controls.
• Hands-on experience designing and developing world-class, successful products from idea creation to proof-of-concept validation rigs, to the point of hand-over for detail design and manufacturing.
• Leadership – Previous responsibility for multi-disciplinary, technical teams working locally in the US or abroad with suppliers.
• IoT – many of our products are connected by our Vesync app. A good understanding of the consumer experience this enables is critical to the role.
• Attention to detail – we don’t have time for a trial-and-error approach to design and development, we need to use intelligence and analysis to anticipate problems and get it right-first time.
• Market Experience – you will have a strong knowledge of the consumer product market in the US in some of our key categories with a deep understanding of brand and product value propositions.
• Resolve – The ability to listen carefully, ask questions, then understand sometimes complex issues and put forward a point-of-view on next steps is critical for success in this role.
