Product Engineer

About the role

This role bridges field performance and product-level design. You will convert real-world system data into validated enhancements, structured documentation, and implementation-ready updates that improve reliability, reduce repeat failures, and strengthen long-term system sustainability.

Responsibilities

• Identify recurring performance issues across deployed systems and define structured improvement initiatives
• Analyze mechanical, electrical, controls, and safety data to develop validated engineering enhancements
• Design scalable solutions that improve reliability, performance, and maintainability
• Develop implementation-ready documentation, drawings, and hardware packages for field deployment
• Lead enhancement projects from definition through validation and rollout
• Partner closely with Field Service and Customer Success to ensure alignment and long-term adoption
• Standardize improvements to prevent one-off fixes and reduce fleet variability
• Collect and structure engineering data to inform product evolution
• Support new product initiatives by incorporating field-driven insights into system design
