Logitech is the Sweet Spot for people who want their actions to have a positive global impact while having the flexibility to do it in their own way.

Position at Logitech PWS (Personal Work Solutions) MKS (Mice and Keyboards Solutions) engineering group in Lausanne (Switzerland).

Logitech PWS MKS is committed to help people create and communicate their passion and work to the world, anytime, anywhere. Innovation in the personal work solution with the user in the center is our obsession. This is more than computer mice, keyboards - it’s about enabling the future beyond today's tools and in a sustainable way. Everything goes through great design and exceptional user experience.


Your Role

As a Technology Innovation Lead (Senior Individual Contributor) in the Hardware MKS engineering team (HW MKS Eng), you will lead a multidisciplinary team to unleash innovation based on the strategy - from Techno Bricks (TB) definition up to the implementation in Mass Production (MP). Your deep technical expertise, creativity and hands-on approach will be instrumental to translate customer needs and trends into tangible innovative solutions. You are passionate about products and about delivering amazing experiences to enhance the life of millions of people as they interact everyday with digital content. 

Your contribution

Be Yourself. Be Open. Stay Hungry and Humble. Collaborate. Challenge. Decide and Just Do. These are the behaviors and values you’ll need for success at Logitech. The role is a key enabler for the MKS business, translating strategic vision into a concrete technology and experience roadmap. You will be responsible for:

  • AI Transformation & Adoption: Drive AI education and tool adoption across project management teams. Systematically embed AI transformation from front-end innovation through New Product Introduction (NPI). Identify, propose, and ignite initiatives to streamline operations by replacing repetitive tasks with autonomous AI agents across project and engineering workflows.
  • Front-end innovation: Co-define the strategic innovation roadmap and multi-year tech pipeline with Engineering, Design and Product Leadership. Initiate front-end scoping, technical exploration, planning, and budgeting. Actively work with Engineering partners to identify patentable inventions.
  • Platforms & partners: Collaborate with internal platform leads (Software, Embedded Software, Hardware) and external suppliers to co-create future technology enablers and platforms. Leverage expert and vendor insights early to de-risk architectures and ensure a consistent user experience across environments.
  • Implementation & New Product Introduction (NPI): Translate NPI roadmaps into technical building blocks and project briefs. Drive cross-functional validation from concept through Mass Production (MP). Apply project management best practices—covering scoping, planning, key metrics, documentation, multi-site team leadership, and risk management—while ensuring viability (cost targets), desirability, feasibility, and manufacturability (BOM).
  • Synthesis & Alignment: Build strong technical bridges across R&D partners to influence and to get strong alignment on critical technology choices. Synthesize complex technical architectures into clear, executive-ready updates.

Key Qualifications

  • Technology Program Leadership: 8+ years of hands-on experience driving technology roadmaps and leading R&D projects from initial concept through delivery in high-volume consumer electronics. Proven mastery of project management standards with an open, collaborative approach to navigating complex programs.
  • Domain Fluency & System Integration: Deep technical passion and expertise across PWS MKS hardware and ecosystems (advanced sensors, wireless protocols, low-power design, Edge AI/ML deployment, and OS integration) to build groundbreaking user experiences.
  • Analytical Mindset & Curiosity: A hungry, creative, and critical problem-solver skilled in systems thinking and Design Thinking to challenge assumptions and turn complex problems into elegant solutions.
  • Collaborative Leadership & Influence: A decisive, humble leader with strong technical storytelling and English communication skills, capable of driving cross-functional alignment, taking end-to-end ownership, and guiding technical strategy without needing direct authority.
  • Global Agility: Enthusiasm and flexibility to travel domestically and intercontinentally to connect with global teams and drive key project milestones.

Education

  • Required: Master’s degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field) with deep level of curiosity, technical excellence, and cross-functional collaboration attitude.
  • Preferred: An additional degree focusing on AI, ML, Robotics or an MBA.
