NPI Engineer

TLDR

Bridge product development and manufacturing as an NPI Engineer, driving new sports-technology products from conception through launch across multiple disciplines.

Born from a founder’s relentless pursuit to understand performance at a deeper, measurable level, Rapsodo has evolved into a global sports technology company headquartered in Singapore, with teams across the USA, Turkey, Japan, and Malaysia.
