This role applies engineering expertise alongside systems thinking, business acumen, and cross‑functional coordination to ensure that products, product-specific processes, and supporting service capabilities are developed holistically and meet defined technical, operational, and commercial objectives. The Senior Engineer represents the collective needs of global service cross‑functions - including operations, supply chain, customer support, quality, and commercial stakeholders within defined product teams - and makes informed, balanced decisions on their behalf. The role requires a high degree of independence and technical leadership within a product-focused scope.

What You'll Do:

• Lead service design for assigned products, ensuring serviceability, scalability, cost‑effectiveness, and alignment with business and platform strategies across the product lifecycle.
• Define and integrate product‑level service requirements into product architecture, development processes, and launch readiness activities.

• Analyze service performance metrics to identify risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities; lead CAPA efforts using structured root‑cause analysis.
• Independently plan and lead complex service‑related engineering initiatives, providing technical guidance, mentorship, and oversight as needed.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in a core engineering discipline with 3+ years of progressive engineering experience.
• Strong engineering foundation in one or more core disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software, systems, manufacturing, or process engineering).
• Proven ability to work independently and influence cross‑functional product teams without direct authority.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills with strong organizational effectiveness.
• Demonstrated capability to analyze ambiguous problems, apply sound judgment, and make data‑driven product‑level decisions.
• Solid understanding of GMP, quality systems, and regulated product development environments.
• Experience with service engineering, service design, or product lifecycle management preferred, including familiarity with change control and design/configuration management.
• Lean / Six Sigma training or applied continuous improvement experience preferred.
