Auckland City, New Zealand Basis Full time

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

We recently closed our Series A capital raise, so we're well-funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

**The Role**

As the Mechanical Chapter Lead, you will drive the design and development of high-quality, reliable, and functional electromechanical products, ensuring we enhance people's lives every day. Your expertise will be pivotal in guiding concepts from ideation with a strong focus on user experience, through development and into production.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- **Mechanical Design**: Make no mistake - this role still has a hands on component which includes both hands on mechanical design work for parts and subsystems, as well as driving systems level design thinking and architecture. This will encompass approximately 40% of your time.
- **Facilitate cross-functional teams** by leveraging your deep design experience to strategically navigate design challenges with alternative views, design thinking, refocus, risk articulation and management, and other cunning ways of moving forward quickly.
- **Structured decision making**: Drive trade-off decisions using structured and data driven decision making wherever possible in a transparent fashion, welcoming feedback and different views.
- **Design Planning**: Contribute as a technical expert to detailed planning, working jointly with delivery and product owners - to establish an optimum articulated path for design teams to execute.
- **Recruitment**: Identifying resource constraints and lead the hiring of new team mechanical members.
- **Growth**: Be responsible for the career progression, leave, coaching, and performance management of the mechanical chapter team members.
- **Roadmapping**: Define long-term resourcing and capability goals for the mechanical engineering team to integrate with company wide planning sessions and achieve company milestones.

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have the following skills/or traits:

- Tertiary qualified in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, or similar real world experience.
- 10+ years commercial experience - ideally in the Product field or adjacent fields such as Engineering, Design and Technology
- An understanding of Product Development and its principles, including development lifecycles and commercialisation
- Proven capability of leading a team through the full product development lifecycle.
- In-depth knowledge of design for manufacture of broad range of manufacturing techniques
- Understanding of agile and waterfall product development lifecycles and hybrid approaches.
- A mindset and temperament to flexibility, rationalising trade offs of speed, quality and cost through the design process to achieve company goals for speed and risk
- Clear, candid and concise communication skills - both written and verbal, but also an ability to be kind and compassionate when dealing with others

**Benefits**
- A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
- Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
- Tools of trade, including laptop and headphones, and we also pay your phone bill
- Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
- A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
- Office dogs
- Access to Clearhead, our well-being programme which gives you 5x free sessions with a psychologist per year
- A $200 one-off payment towards your home workstation
- A commitment to diversity and inclusion: Pride Committee and partnering with Pride Pledge, DEIB Committee, EEO Policy and well-being strategy
- Parental leave policy that tops up wages to 100% for the primary caregiver for up to 22 weeks (conditions apply)
- The opportunity to learn and develop from some of the best and brightest minds in the industry
