Product Development Engineer

Austin, Texas | Confidential Company

If you’ve personally taken electro-mechanical products from concept through design freeze and production release — we’d like to connect.

We are partnering with a tech-forward, innovation-driven manufacturing company seeking a highly hands‑on Senior NPD Engineer to lead next-generation product development.

This role is anchored in New Product Development (NPD) and requires deep technical ownership. It is not a program management position. The majority of your time will be spent designing, reviewing, prototyping, validating, and releasing products.

• Lead mechanical and electrical system design for new product platforms
• Perform hands‑on CAD modeling, detailed drawings, schematics, and BOM ownership
• Conduct tolerance analysis and material selection
• Drive prototyping, testing, validation, and disciplined design freeze
• Own engineering change releases (ECR/ECO)
• Apply strong DFM/DFA principles to ensure production readiness
• Collaborate with firmware, manufacturing, and supply chain teams
• Translate customer feedback into product enhancements

• 10+ years of hands‑on electro‑mechanical product development experience
• Demonstrated ownership of NPD from concept through production release
• Strong expertise in both mechanical and electrical engineering
• Experience integrating firmware and control systems
• Proficiency in CAD tools (Solid Works or similar), including BOM and revision control
• Experience operating in lean, fast‑moving manufacturing environments

This is a high-impact role for an engineer who wants to build real products and see their designs move into production.
