WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH This role sits at the intersection of firmware, controls, hardware, and product development, helping accelerate how powered athlete products are built. You’ll report into engineering leadership, partner closely with controls and firmware engineers, and influence cross-functional teams responsible for highly integrated mechatronic systems that bring innovative athlete experiences to life. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR Nike seeks a seasoned technical leader who thrives in ambiguity and is motivated by building systems that amplify the impact of an entire engineering organization. This person brings deep expertise in Artificial Intelligence, software engineering, simulation infrastructure, and learning-based systems, paired with the judgment and execution required to ship production-grade solutions. They are equally comfortable developing complex technical architectures, enabling engineering teams through tooling and automation, and translating emerging technologies into scalable business impact.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder with strong curiosity, exceptional problem-solving skills, and experience accelerating development workflows in robotics, controls, embedded systems, or other complex hardware-software environments. They embrace modern Artificial Intelligence-assisted development practices and continuously look for opportunities to improve speed, quality, and innovation across the product lifecycle.
