Qualifications

• Treat material choice as a communication decision.
• 7+ years of CMF experience in complex manufactured products.
• Deep knowledge of materials, finishes, coatings, and manufacturability.
• Experience producing CMF specifications for engineering teams.
• Able to defend material direction with trade-offs and evidence.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity while defining the function and execution.
• Based in London and available on-site five days a week.

Responsabilités

• Own CMF direction across robot programmes from concept to production specs.
• Develop CMF strategy as part of the design direction and maintain libraries.
