Leading a team to drive innovation, design, and development within the industrial and manufacturing sector. This position is based in Singapore and requires a strategic thinker with expertise in engineering and manufacturing processes.
  • Own the entire mechanical function
  • Shape the mechanical design culture and platform strategy

About Our Client

A fast‑growing robotics company headquartered in Singapore, building commercially deployed autonomous hardware used across major public and commercial facilities globally. With strong engineering depth across mechanical, electrical, software, and autonomy, the company delivers high‑reliability systems built for continuous operation in demanding environments..

Job Description

Mechanical Engineering Leadership

  • Lead the mechanical organisation across new product development, sustaining engineering, and cost‑down initiatives.
  • Build strong design review, DFMEA, tolerance analysis, and DfM/DfA practices that catch issues upstream.



Product Delivery

  • Own the mechanical roadmap across current and future robot platforms.
  • Drive concept‑to‑SOP execution through EVT/DVT/PVT, partnering closely with Electrical, Embedded, Autonomy, Product, Validation, Compliance, Supply Chain, and NPI.
  • Ensure first‑time‑right mechanical design that meets reliability, manufacturability, and cost-performance goals.



Team & Capability Building

  • Grow and develop a high‑performing mechanical team with clear subsystem ownership and technical depth.
  • Establish part, material, and subsystem standards that drive platform reuse and predictable design quality.



Sustaining Excellence

  • Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for field and production issues.
  • Drive systemic fixes - not repeat failures - through strong failure analysis and upstream engineering changes.

The Successful Applicant

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
  • At least 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in hardware product companies, with at least 3+ years leading teams.
  • Proven ownership of end-to-end product delivery through EVT/DVT/PVT/SOP for at least two shipped products.
  • Strong sustaining engineering experience - especially fixing recurring field issues through root cause and systemic design improvements.
  • Hands-on expertise in DFMEA, tolerance stack-ups, FEA reviews, design standards, and mechanical reliability engineering.
  • Experience with platform standardisation and driving part/material reuse with measurable BOM or complexity impact.
  • Demonstrated cross-functional execution with Electrical, Embedded, Validation, Compliance, Supply Chain, and NPI.

What's on Offer

The organisation offers a culture built on high ownership, deep technical curiosity, and a genuine commitment to engineering excellence. Teams work closely together in a fast‑moving, hands‑on environment where ideas win on merit and engineers are empowered to challenge assumptions, redesign processes, and push for better outcomes. You'll join a group that values transparency, problem‑solving, and continuous learning-where everyone, from leadership to new hires, is encouraged to experiment, improve, and build smarter ways of working. Career growth is accelerated by broad exposure across product development, manufacturing, and field performance, giving you opportunities to stretch into architecture, leadership, cross‑functional strategy, and long-term product stewardship. It's a place where strong engineers become stronger, and where people who take initiative consistently find themselves shaping the next generation of technology and influencing the organisation's trajectory.
