Working in lock-step with a multidisciplinary, global team of biologists, engineers, and operations leads you will balance the technical execution with team leadership, resource planning, and strategic roadmapping across global release programs.
Responsibilities
- Manage, coach, and grow a team of hardware engineers in Singapore; establish engineering standards, foster career development, set performance expectations, and build a high-ownership engineering culture.
- Lead mechanical and electro-mechanical architecture for high-throughput mosquito biomanufacturing, release, and monitoring systems driving the design reviews, and best practices across the organization.
- Plan engineering roadmaps, allocate team resources, and prioritize deliverables across multiple concurrent R&D and deployment projects to meet the operational timelines.
- Architect and design precision mechanisms, servo-driven robotics, pneumatic handling systems, fluidics, custom end-effectors, and thermal/environmental enclosures.
- Partner closely with biological sciences, software/firmware engineering, and operations leadership to convert biological constraints into robust, high-yield automation hardware.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 12 years of experience in mechanical product design, automated machinery, robotics, or electro-mechanical systems.
- 3 years of experience in people management.
- Experience designing industrial or lab automated systems.
- Experience with modeling CAD software such as SolidWorks.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience in biotech automation, life sciences equipment, precision sorting machinery, or high-throughput fluidic/pneumatic handling systems.
- Experience in precision motion control, servo/stepper systems, sensor integration, and robotics.
- Experience with rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, quick-turn sheet metal) and physical benchtop testing.
- Experience growing and managing high performance hardware teams.
