Technical Manager (Robotics)

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Senior / Technical Manager (Robotics) to provide technical leadership in robotics and intelligent system product development. This role focuses on technical architecture, engineering decision-making, system integration, and problem solving rather than project schedule management.

The role acts as a technical lead across electronics, embedded software, motor/control systems, sensors, mechanical design, AI/vision, QA, and manufacturing teams, ensuring robotic products are robust, manufacturable, and ready for commercialization.

Key Responsibilities

·   Lead robotics system architecture definition, technical feasibility assessment, design reviews, and technical risk evaluation from concept to productization.

·   Define and review technical requirements for embedded systems, sensors, actuators, motor control, power electronics, connectivity, safety, and system integration.

·   Guide engineers in debugging complex system-level issues involving hardware, firmware, software, mechanical integration, control behavior, thermal, reliability, and manufacturing constraints.

·   Review test plans, validation methods, engineering reports, and design verification results for robotics functions, system reliability, and product performance.

·   Work closely with electronics, firmware, software, mechanical, QA, NPI, production, and supplier teams to resolve design and integration issues.

·   Support technical evaluation and selection of key components, modules, sensors, motors, controllers, embedded platforms, and third-party technology partners.

·   Drive engineering best practices for system design, interface definition, design-for-manufacturing, design-for-test, reliability, and technical documentation.

·   Mentor engineers and strengthen team capability in robotics system design, embedded development, integration testing, and structured troubleshooting.

·   Support customer, management, supplier, and internal technical reviews where technical explanation or decision support is required.

Qualifications & Requirements

·   Bachelor’s degree or above in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Automation, Computer Science, or related disciplines.

·   5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics, embedded systems, intelligent devices, automation, mechatronics, or complex electromechanical product development; more experienced candidates may be considered for senior-level responsibility.

·   Strong technical understanding of embedded systems, sensors, actuators, motor/control systems, connectivity, system integration, and product-level engineering trade-offs.

·   Experience leading technical design reviews, root-cause analysis, validation planning, and cross-discipline engineering problem solving.

·   Good understanding of the full product development lifecycle, including concept design, EVT/DVT/PVT, NPI, mass production, and post-launch technical support.

·   Ability to collaborate across hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, QA, manufacturing, suppliers, and external partners.

·   Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and technical leadership skills.

·   Experience working with cross-functional and cross-location teams, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, suppliers, ODM/OEM partners, or overseas customers.

·   More experience will be considered as Senior Technical Manager.
