An Electrical Engineering Manager to lead and grow our electrical engineering team in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. This is a player-coach role: you will carry real technical responsibility alongside your direct reports, contributing hands-on to schematic design, layout, and hardware development while setting direction and removing obstacles for the team. You will operate comfortably in a matrix organization, partnering closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering to ship hardware that performs in the field.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of electrical engineers; manage workload, priorities, and career development across a cross-functional, matrix-style organization.
- Contribute hands-on to schematic capture and PCB layout; review and approve designs across the team, maintaining high standards for quality and reliability.
- Drive development across power electronics, motor drives, embedded computing, and networking subsystems
- Partner with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering to ensure electrical designs integrate cleanly across subsystems and meet program requirements.
- 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.
