Manager, Product Integrity — Connected Products

Fortune Brands Innovations is hiring a Manager, Product Integrity to join our Connected Products team. Product Integrity is the team that confirms our connected products — Flo by Moen water devices, Yale and August smart locks, and Master Lock connected padlocks — do what their requirements say they do before they reach a customer. This role leads that team and owns the bridge between requirements and proof: taking what Product, Systems Architecture, and Compliance ask for and turning it into tests with a method, a sample size, and a pass/fail criterion.The role also owns 100% end-of-line testing at the factory, including test fixture design and test software. Depending on test complexity, fixtures are built fully in-house or developed with a supplier.We are looking for a systems architect who leads a test team. The right person understands the whole product — electrical, mechanical, firmware, and how they interact — well enough to argue a requirement with Product, an interface with Architecture, and the statistics with Reliability, and then run the lab that proves it.Position location: this position is eligible to work in a hybrid environment out of our North Olmsted, OH or San Francisco, CA locations. What you will ownThe Product Integrity team. Lead a team of test engineers covering production and 100% test, hardware test, reliability test, quality inspection, and overall confirmation of product requirements. You set the direction and the standard; the team executes.Requirements into tests. Turn every hardware requirement in the PRD — from Product, Systems Architecture, and Compliance — into a testable requirement with a method, a sample size, an acceptance criterion, and a gate. Product defines the design envelope; you define how we test to it.Gate evidence. Every stage gate (EVT, DVT, PVT) carries your evidence package: what was tested, against which requirement, with what result.Reliability. Define the reliability test plan for each program and own the statistics behind it: sample sizes, confidence levels, and acceleration factors for environmental testing.Production test. Develop fixtures and test software that meet approved cycle times, with test limits tied to expected field performance.Field performance. Review returns and field data, and feed what you learn back into requirements and test plans.The team and the logisticsTeam: test engineers covering production test, hardware test, reliability test, and quality inspection.
