Engineering Manager, Digital & Mixed-Signal Hardware

Engineering Manager, Digital & Mixed-Signal Hardware

We’re looking for a highly technical Engineering Manager to lead and develop a team working on advanced digital and mixed-signal hardware for next-generation aerospace and defense systems.

This is a player-coach leadership role — ideal for a Senior, Staff, or Principal Electrical/Hardware Engineer who is already leading technically and is ready to take the next step into formal people management.

• Lead the technical development of high-speed digital and mixed-signal hardware across multiple product lines
• Drive architecture, schematic, PCB, design and technical reviews
• Maintain engineering standards for high-speed interfaces, signal integrity, timing, and dense multilayer PCBs
• Stay hands-on with critical designs, complex debug, board bring-up, and technical problem solving
• Work across digital, RF, power, FPGA, firmware, software, mechanical, and systems engineering
• Drive DFM/DFT, manufacturing transition, reliability, and production readiness
• Establish scalable hardware development processes and design standards
• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing hardware engineering team
• Lead hiring, performance development, technical mentoring, and team growth
• Partner with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Operations, and Systems Engineering

We’re particularly interested in engineers with:

• 7+ years of direct digital or mixed-signal hardware experience
• Strong hands-on schematic and PCB design experience
• High-speed digital / mixed-signal board design
• FPGA or processor-based hardware experience
• Experience with DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES
  , or comparable interfaces
• Strong signal integrity and timing knowledge
• Board bring-up and complex hardware debugging experience
• DFM / DFT and production-transition experience
• Experience leading technical reviews and mentoring engineers

Software-defined radio experience is a plus. Aerospace/space experience is valuable, but the role is also open to engineers from other high-reliability electronics environments.

You may currently be a:

• Senior Electrical Engineer
• Staff Electrical Engineer
• Principal Electrical Engineer
• Senior/Staff/Principal Hardware Engineer
• Digital Hardware Lead
• Hardware Technical Lead

You’re someone who is already acting like a technical leader — driving design reviews, mentoring engineers, setting standards, solving difficult board-level problems — and now wants to formally lead and develop a team.

You should still be comfortable getting into a schematic, reviewing PCB layout, tackling an SI issue, or debugging hardware yourself.

This is an opportunity to move from personally designing complex hardware to building the team that designs it — without stepping away from the technology.

If you’re passionate about great hardware, enjoy developing engineers, and want to have a broader impact on how advanced electronics are designed and delivered, we’d love to hear from you.
