Role Summary

Winixx is building a hardware portfolio that will grow from its current product line to encompass telematics devices, camera systems, POS hardware, smartphones, tablets, wearables, and more — and the Mechanical Engineering Manager will be responsible for building and leading the engineering team that makes it happen. This is not a role for a manager who wants to sit in meetings and review status reports — it is a role for an engineering leader who is deeply engaged with the technical work, who has strong opinions about mechanical design quality, and who is committed to developing engineers who are better at their craft because of their time  will own the mechanical engineering roadmap, set and enforce the technical standards that define Winixx's hardware quality, manage the relationships with manufacturing partners and tooling vendors that are critical to program execution, and represent mechanical engineering in the cross-functional program decisions that determine the trajectory of the hardware business.

What You'll Do

• Lead and manage a team of mechanical engineers spanning design, thermal, structural, mechatronics, validation, prototype development, manufacturing, tooling, materials, and reliability disciplines, providing clear direction, meaningful feedback, and genuine career development support
• Own the mechanical engineering program roadmap, developing multi-quarter capacity plans that match engineering resources to program priorities, identifying resource gaps, and making the hiring and staffing decisions needed to execute the hardware product plan
• Set the mechanical engineering technical standards for Winixx's hardware programs, defining design review criteria, documentation requirements, DFM standards, validation coverage expectations, and quality gates that ensure consistent engineering quality across all programs
• Conduct thorough and substantive engineering design reviews at key program milestones, providing technical feedback that improves design quality, reduces program risk, and develops engineers' technical judgment through engagement with real design problems
• Manage Winixx's strategic relationships with contract manufacturers, tooling vendors, and test laboratories, conducting regular business reviews, negotiating capacity and pricing arrangements, and holding partners accountable to quality and schedule performance
• Collaborate with product management and industrial design in the early phases of new hardware programs, providing mechanical engineering feasibility input that shapes product concept decisions and prevents downstream design pivots
• Develop and manage the mechanical engineering team's capital equipment plan, identifying laboratory and tooling investments that expand team capability…
