can you envision the entire product?
Product Head | Hyderabad, India | Full-Time | 14+ yrs exp
Who we are We build dark factories: fully autonomous, zero-defect production systems for electronics & semiconductor manufacturing. Based in Hyderabad, obsessed with tolerances, not corporate fluff.
The gig We are looking for a technically strong and hands-on Product Head to own the development of next-gen industrial automation equipment. You’ll drive the full product journey i.e. from concept → design → prototype → validation → production → customer deployment → continuous improvement. Basically you’ll be the person making sure the machine doesn’t just look good on paper - but actually works.
What you’ll do Own the product vision, requirements, specifications and developmentroadmap · define machine level productarchitecture · collaborate with mechanical + robotics + vision + electrical + controls + software + testing · coordinate proto builds, engineering trials, design reviews, integration activities and customer demos · root-cause tough problems · define and track test and validation plans to meet machine acceptance criteria · continuously push the product forward - better performance, higher reliability, lower cost and faster cycle times
Must haves Bachelor's/ Master’sin Mech or Mechatronics Engg · 14 yrs in product development, industrial automation, robotics, vision or engineering intensive products · experience defining productrequirements, systemspecifications, acceptance criterias and validation plans · real hands-onassembly/ prototyping/ testing experience · strong understanding of machine performance metrics like UPH, cycle time, accuracy, repeatability, OEE, reliability and process capability · established and methodical problem-solver · comfortable going from high level product thinking to get your hands dirty on the machine
Nice to haves Bonus points if you have experience developing automation equipment for EMS, mobilephones, wearables, semiconductor, automotive or other high volume manufacturing industries · hands on in computer vision, AI/ ML based inspection, software controlled automation systems · Experience developing products like dispensing, screwdriving, pickandplace, alignment, inspection, laser processing or precision assembly.
tl;dr The kind of person we are looking for. You don’t need to be the person who knows everything. But. You do need to be the one who can walk into a messy situation and figure out what’s actually going on, get the right people around the table, and drive it into a solution.
Better mindset > corporate jargon.
Data > opinions.
Working machines > pretty presentations.
Ownership > excuses.
If building the machines that power the next generation of electronics manufacturing sounds more exciting than another strategy deck, we should talk.
