Job Summary
In this role, you develop innovative product concepts for the inspection of critical infrastructure, define system architectures, and oversee the entire development process to market-ready solutions.
Your role in the team
- You translate the management's strategic vision into viable products, clear development directions, and a consistent overall offering.
- In doing so, you think not in individual features, but in solutions, systems, and product logics that are technologically robust, economically sensible, and relevant for our customers.
- At EMPIT, we develop technologies for intelligent inspection of critical infrastructure.
- With our proprietary CMI technology, AI-powered data analysis, and an interdisciplinary Deep-Tech team, we set new standards for the inspection of pipelines and other underground infrastructure.
- In this environment, you will shape the bridge between vision, technology, and market-ready product.
- You develop new product concepts from scratch: defining system architecture, specifying physical and digital components, and assessing technical feasibility.
- You accompany the entire development process - from the initial sketch through prototypes and field tests to the deployment-ready solution.
- You are responsible for the interplay of hardware (sensor technology, mechanics, electronics), software (firmware, cloud, analytics), and operations (field deployment).
- You translate customer needs and technological possibilities into concrete requirements—and defend them to development teams and management with justification, not just with priority.
- You recognize when a concept is scalable and when it is not – and make decisions based on technical and economic realities.
- You drive the further development of our CMI inspection technology and contribute your own ideas for new product generations.
- You create transparency about what we develop, why – and what that means for investments, certifications, and the path to market.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Technical understanding at system level: You can discuss with designers, electronics engineers, and software developers on equal footing — without being an expert in each discipline.
- Structured thinking in systems, dependencies, and compromises - not feature-focused thinking.
- Ability to develop precise technical requirements from vague target images.
- Background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, systems engineering, or comparable engineering disciplines.
- Knowledge in measurement technology, signal processing, or related fields.
Experience
- Experience in physical product development: You have accompanied at least one hardware product from conception to deployment - mechatronics, measurement technology, sensor technology, industrial hardware, or similar.
- Experience with interdisciplinary development, where hardware and software components need to be integrated.
- Ideally: experience with field testing and certification in an industrial environment.
