What this role is
Senior executive who leads the entire electro-mechanical engineering organization, setting technical strategy and direction for integrated hardware product development across the company. At the Senior Director (Executive) (E2) level, the role owns multiple functions or a major area, multi-function strategy and risk, and drives major-area outcomes. Leads function leaders.
What this level does
- Leads multiple engineering functions or divisions (e.g., electro-mechanical design, systems integration, and test/validation) through VPs, resolving cross-functional trade-offs between electrical, mechanical, and embedded-systems domains
- Directs abstract, high-consequence decisions on which technology platforms and microprocessor-based instrumentation the divisions standardize on, where the choice can affect company viability
- Negotiates critical technical and commercial matters with top customer and partner leadership on multi-division hardware programs and system-compatibility commitments
- Sets the cross-divisional strategy for how new designs are analyzed, tested, and integrated so that system compatibility and efficiency hold across the combined portfolio
- Governs the engineering talent, standards, and capital investment across the divisions so principal-level technical influence scales beyond any single team
- Knowledge applied
- Applies cross-functional engineering judgment spanning electrical, mechanical, and embedded-systems disciplines to lead multiple functions or divisions, standardizing platforms and instrumentation across them.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Resolves abstract, high-consequence issues — technology-platform and system-compatibility choices across divisions — where decisions may impact company viability.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Negotiates critical technical and commercial matters with top customer and partner leadership through VP-led divisions.
- Typical experience
- 15+ years, including strategic leadership of engineering functions or significant business units.
Skills at this level
- Electro-mechanical systems installation and calibration
- — Installs, calibrates, and maintains electro-mechanical systems including motors, drives, sensors, and control units, and sets the standards by which teams do so.
- Dual electrical + mechanical fundamentals
- — Holds a solid working command of both electrical and mechanical engineering principles and interprets technical drawings and schematics, enabling trade-off decisions that span the two disciplines.
- Embedded systems programming
- — Installs or programs computer hardware and machine or instrumentation software in microprocessor-based systems within electro-mechanical products.
- Computers and electronics knowledge
- — Applies knowledge of circuit boards, processors, chips, electronic equipment, and computer hardware and software — including applications and programming — to hardware engineering decisions.
- New-technology viability and integration analysis
- — Performs detailed analysis and testing to determine whether new technologies are viable and can be integrated into current electro-mechanical systems, and directs the funded roadmap that follows.
- System compatibility and integration coordination
- — Coordinates across engineering teams and with clients to define project scope and ensure electro-mechanical systems remain compatible and efficient when combined.
- Engineering principle advancement
- — Reviews established engineering principles and theories and advances and refines them to further engineering knowledge in the electro-mechanical field, moving beyond merely applying them.
- Engineering strategy setting
- — Sets the engineering strategy for the organization and directs technical projects with broad, organization-wide impact on the company's technical landscape.
- Stakeholder advisory and negotiation
- — Meets with stakeholders and top leaders to advise on and negotiate technical direction, scope, and commitments for hardware programs.
- Technical talent development
- — Supervises engineering teams and mentors junior and staff engineers, building the leadership bench that sets team-level technical standards.
- Test instrumentation proficiency
- — Directs use of oscilloscopes and electronic voltmeters for verification and diagnosis of electro-mechanical circuits and control units.
