• Work with manufacturing to communicate engineering designs and intent and to find and resolve issues.

What You’ll Need:

• 7\+ years of electrical engineering experience, including direct management of electrical engineers in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB layout; ability and willingness to stay technically active alongside management responsibilities.
• Solid technical depth across power electronics, motor drivers, embedded computing, and networking; comfort making and defending design decisions in these domains.
• Experience leading engineering in a matrix organization; strong communication and coordination skills across mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering counterparts.
• Experience mentoring and developing junior electrical engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and career development while fostering a collaborative engineering culture.

You’ll Stand Out:

• Background in defense, robotics, autonomous systems, or other high-reliability embedded hardware environments.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent EDA tooling for both schematic and layout work.
• Experience bringing hardware from prototype through qualification and into field deployment.
• Familiarity with MIL-SPEC or other environmental qualification standards relevant to defense or field-deployed hardware.
