Summary
Focuses on the integrated design, build, test, and sustainment of electro-mechanical and mechatronic hardware — spanning mechanical components/assemblies (CAD, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, DFM/DFA) and the electronics that drive them (schematic capture, multilayer PCB layout, board bring-up, hardware-bus interfacing, controls/automation, PLC-controlled machinery). Distinct from pure mechanical design (which excludes board-level electronics) and from pure electrical/firmware roles (which exclude mechanical enclosures, motors, gearboxes, and field service); this focus owns the seam where motors, sensors, drives, control units, and PCBs meet mechanical structure, thermals, and manufacturability.
This level — P7 P7 — Staff / Distinguished Professional
Staff-level individual contributor: owns architecture across systems, sets technical direction, and multiplies the output of multiple teams without managing people.
