Position: Product Pioneer Development Engineer (AD|FEI)

This position is a core FEI (Front End Innovation) + AD (Advanced Development) innovation role, completely distinct from mass production PDM iterative implementation work. It focuses on cross-category new small appliance products, cross-technology integration innovation, and tackling unknown scenario pain points, emphasizing scenario-driven early-stage development rather than limiting to existing product iterations. The core responsibility is the 0-to-1 incubation of disruptive products for the next 1-3 years, solving industry pain points such as traditional product function rigidity, category homogeneity, and limited usage scenarios through real user life scenario analysis, competitive landscape forecasting, cutting-edge technology integration, and multiple prototype validations.

It aims to overcome technical uncertainties in advance, build exclusive brand technology and scenario barriers, and support the company’s differentiated and breakthrough product innovation strategy.

Main Responsibilities
  • Scenario Pain Point Exploration and New Category Definition (Core):
    Based on scenario innovation logic, deeply analyze the full user journey of small appliance usage, identify functional limitations, category gaps, and hidden pain points of traditional products. Combine market competitive landscape and user consumption trends to produce scenario insight reports, break traditional category boundaries, define cross-category innovative new categories, new functions, and new experience opportunities, and complete early category strategic layout.
  • FEI Front-End Innovation Solution Incubation:
    Lead the full process of front-end innovation from 0 to 1, including creative brainstorming, scenario modeling, product positioning refinement, core value extraction, differentiation positioning, clarifying product core competitive advantages, delivering complete new product concept solutions and scenario-based product definition documents, and building the company’s innovation product reserve pool to provide core basis for subsequent project initiation.
  • AD Advanced Engineering Research and Technical Challenges:
    Conduct advanced research on cross-technology integration, new interaction technologies, and other cutting-edge technologies. Independently complete prototype building, preliminary CBOM sorting, and technical feasibility verification; anticipate mass production risks and cost ranges in advance; solve the core issue of “concept feasibility but difficult implementation” in innovation projects; overcome early-stage technical uncertainties and clear all technical obstacles for mass production development.
  • Scenario-Driven Reverse Product Definition:
    Different from traditional parameter-driven development, use the user’s final usage scenario and experience outcome as the sole criterion to reverse-define product performance indicators, structural design, configuration, logic, functional programs, and interaction experience standards. Build a complete innovation closed loop of “scenario pain points → user needs → technical solutions → product implementation → ultimate experience” to create differentiated innovative products.
  • Prototype Iteration and Scenario-Based Testing Verification:
    Lead innovative prototype model building, multiple iterations, real scenario testing, and small user group testing; optimize and refine core aspects such as product feel, efficiency, capacity, and operation experience; verify the authenticity, practicality, and differentiation advantages of innovation selling points; select the best product configuration plan to ensure new product experience far exceeds industry competitors.
  • Cross-Department Innovation Collaboration and Project Handover:
    Coordinate with user insights, industrial…
