CultSport is building an in-house hardware design and R&D; capability. We are hiring a senior leader to own our fitness equipment portfolio end to end — from product architecture and design through to volume manufacturing with our production partners. This is a hands-on, build-it-from-scratch mandate. You will define how our products are engineered, set the technical standards, and build the team that delivers them. What you will own

- Product architecture. Define a small number of scalable engineering platforms across our categories, so that new models launch faster and at better cost without proliferating complexity.
- Mechanical design. Own the core of the product — structures, mechanisms, enclosures and ergonomics

— from concept and CAD through detailed design, prototyping and design freeze.

- Tooling and DFM. Drive tool design intent, tool development and validation through to first-off-tool, and embed manufacturability into the design from day one.
- System integration. Specify, evaluate and integrate motors, drives, battery systems, controls and displays into reliable finished products, and hold partners to spec.
- Testing and compliance. Build our validation regimen — structural and fatigue testing, drop and vibration, thermal, electrical safety and EMC — and own certification and reliability targets.
- Manufacturing readiness. Work alongside our production partners on process definition, fixtures, first article approval, yield and quality ramp. Expect real time on the shop floor.




- Cost ownership. Carry the BOM. Drive should-costing, teardowns and value engineering as a continuous discipline, not an annual exercise.
- Team building. Hire, mentor and lead a compact senior engineering team, and establish the design and documentation standards it works to. What you bring
- 10–15 years in consumer hardware, consumer durables or electro-mechanical product development,

including 3–5 years leading a design or NPD function.

- A track record of taking multiple products from concept to mass production.
- Deep mechanical design strength: part design for high-volume moulding, sheet metal and tubular structures, mechanism design, DFM/DFA, GD&T; and tolerance stack-up. Fluent in SolidWorks, Creo or NX, and comfortable using simulation to make design calls.
- Genuine tooling experience — you have specified tools, run trials and lived with the consequences.
- Working knowledge of BLDC motors, drives, gearboxes and battery systems: enough to specify, qualify and challenge a supplier's numbers.
- Robust cost engineering instincts and the judgement to know which engineering decisions actually move the number.
- Experience working across global design and supply partners, and the ability to bring that capability in-house. Backgrounds that fit well

Design and NPD leadership from consumer electronics, appliances, power tools, personal care devices, mobility or original design manufacturing environments.
