Senior Productization Engineer

The Senior Productization Engineer owns the technical implementation path for turning architected product intent custom development opportunities prototypes and improvement campaigns into buildable testable manufacturable and supportable offeringswithin the vacuum cell technologies (VCT) portfolio.

This rolesitsbetween Architecture Engineering Product Program/Production Management Manufacturing Supply Chain and Customer-facing teams. The Architect owns the technical what;Program/Production Management owns schedule budget and execution cadence; this role owns the technical how.

The Senior Productization Engineer translates product concepts and requirements into executable technical work packages integration and verification plans technical risk retirement plans and production-readiness deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical implementationapproachfor newproducts product variants custom development opportunities and product/process improvement campaigns.

• Translate architected concepts and top-level requirements into technical work breakdown structures implementation plans integration plans verification plans and readiness criteria.

• Lead technical planning during customer capture by developing WBS and BOE inputs for custom development opportunities.

• Assess feasibility technical risk manufacturability testability supply chain constraints and production readiness.

• Matrix-lead cross-functional engineering contributors across optical mechanical electrical software/firmware test manufacturing and supply chain interfaces.

• Own integration and verification strategy including interface planning test approach acceptance criteria and end-of-line test needs.

• Drive technical risk identification mitigation retirement and escalation.

• Challenge requirements architecture or scope when feasibility manufacturability cost schedule or technical risk concerns arise.

• Lead product and process improvement campaigns with defined scope RACI lifecycle deliverables and success criteria.

• Partner withdevelopment teamsmanufacturingand Program/Production Management to deliver technically complete repeatable and supportable outcomes.

• Lead the charge on readiness for transition to standard offering production or controlled release.
