Strategic Product Analyst (Hardware Strategy)

We are looking for a Strategic Product Analyst to de-risk R&D investments by filtering out inefficient technologies and accelerating high-value innovations. You will bridge the gap between engineering and business by analyzing global trends and modeling the ROI of new technical solutions before expensive development begins.
Key Areas of Expertise:

• Techno-Economic Analysis: Calculating ROI, TCO, and production cost-efficiency for complex hardware solutions.
• OSINT & Tech Scouting: Deep-dive research into global patents, scientific papers, and market releases (chips, sensors, composite materials).
• Competitive Intelligence: Gap analysis of technical specifications vs. market leaders.
• Scenario Modeling: Predictive modeling of how design changes (e.g., housing materials or PCBA components) impact manufacturing cycles and final margins.

Key Deliverables & Results:

• Tech Watch Radar: Delivering monthly strategic reports on emerging components and competitor technologies with "Invest/Ignore" recommendations.
• Economic Validation: Conducted feasibility studies for 5+ major R&D projects within 6 months, providing precise CAPEX/OPEX forecasts and break-even points for mass production.
• Comparative Matrixes: Developing comprehensive "Feature vs. Cost" maps against direct competitors to identify and close product gaps.
• Production Forecasting: Calculating the impact of structural design shifts on the assembly timeline and supply chain costs.
