Hardware Engineering Manager and product leader transforming deep tech into reliable market-ready products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Leader and Hardware Engineering Manager with a proven track record of transforming complex technical concepts into successful market-ready products. I bridge deep engineering expertise with strategic product management and operational excellence, and my core strength is cross-pollination of ideas—systematically adapting solutions from adjacent industries to build innovative product strategies and architectures.
I lead and build cross-functional teams (R&D, Software, Manufacturing) in international environments, often coordinating with APAC partners to improve reliability, scale production, and reduce costs. I’ve applied aerospace-derived reliability methodologies to accelerate development in fast-paced XR startups, pioneered rigorous development and testing standards to enhance product reliability and efficiency, created engineering handbooks and tools to reduce onboarding time by 25%, and streamlined procurement to make purchasing 15% more effective; earlier roles also delivered a market pivot capturing 15% market share and a 1.5x profitability lift for a $520K portfolio, while defense-focused leadership embedded Agile (Scrum), improved development speed by 30%, and cut costs by 60% through digital twin verification. I’m actively seeking a new role in Management where I can leverage my technical depth and product vision to drive global product success, especially in Japan.
