The Hardware Systems Engineering Manager leads a team of electrical engineers to develop innovative electrical architectures, embedded observability, and precision metrology systems across a diverse product portfolio. This leadership role involves driving system-level design methodologies, developing custom electrical instrumentation, and creating scalable hardware platforms for product characterization and manufacturing. The manager will influence product architecture by integrating measurement, telemetry, and diagnostic capabilities into designs while championing AI-enabled engineering methodologies for intelligent data analysis and automated workflows. Key technical requirements include expertise in analog, power electronics, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital design, alongside proficiency in schematic capture, PCB layout, and system-level integration. The role solves complex problems regarding hardware behavior by building specialized instrumentation that provides deep system insights from early development through production.
Lead, mentor, and manage a team of electrical engineers to foster technical excellence and innovation.
Drive the architecture and development of electrical observability, instrumentation, and metrology systems across product lines.
Partner with silicon, hardware, and firmware teams to integrate measurement and diagnostic capabilities into system designs.
Lead the development of custom electrical systems, including precision power delivery and scalable hardware platforms.
Champion AI-enabled engineering methodologies to accelerate hardware development and system characterization.
Define technical roadmaps and organizational priorities to balance near-term deliverables with long-term technology investments.
Provide technical leadership in complex system-level investigations and drive cross-functional problem-solving.
What we're looking for
BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
3+ years of engineering management experience with hands-on hardware systems expertise, or 7+ years of technical leadership experience with readiness for people management.
Extensive experience in hardware systems development, including architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, characterization, and deployment.
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals spanning analog, power electronics, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital design.
Demonstrated ability to lead complex engineering initiatives and collaborate across multiple technical disciplines.
Deep understanding of system architecture, electrical instrumentation, metrology, and product characterization methodologies (preferred).
Experience developing precision measurement systems, programmable power architectures, embedded telemetry, or hardware observability solutions (preferred).
Firmware or software development experience using Python, C/C++, or similar languages (preferred).
