Senior Engineering Manager, Systems

• Hire, level, and develop engineers across software, networking, RF, and hardware‑adjacent debugging to build the bench NODA needs as headcount scales
• Coach cross‑layer debugging as a team capability, teaching engineers when to go deep in one domain, when to go wide across several, and when to delegate
• Personally profile systems and root‑cause the issues too ambiguous or too cross‑cutting for anyone else to cleanly own
• Own System Health for your scope, including performance and stability KPIs, MTTR on cross‑system issues, degradation detection, and the tooling and telemetry that makes it possible
• Own crash‑to‑root‑cause analysis and the verification evidence behind release go/no‑go calls
• Treat security and CMMC‑derived constraints as first‑class design inputs, not a parallel compliance track
• Catch the gaps other teams leave, deliberately or inadvertently, before they surface as integration failures or field incidents
• Translate field, customer, and BD requirements into constraints your team can build against
• Represent Systems Engineering at cross‑team design sessions and the Architecture Review Board, and escalated system integrity and delivery risk per the Systems Engineering charter

• 8+ years of engineering experience, with substantial hands‑on time debugging distributed, real‑time, or multi‑domain systems in production
• 2+ years managing engineers, ideally across more than one technical domain
• A real track record as an expert debugger, the person teams bring the hardest, most ambiguous cross‑system issues to, regardless of layer
• Able to think both ways: horizontal breadth across software, RF, networking, firmware, and hardware, and vertical depth to root‑cause a single hard failure all the way down when breadth alone won’t solve it
• Experience owning system health, performance monitoring, or release‑readiness processes
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals and real‑time or low‑latency middleware
• Comfortable with hardware bench diagnostics (multimeter, oscilloscope) and reading firmware‑level behavior well enough to know when to loop in a specialist
• Working understanding of DoD security and compliance frameworks (e.g. CMMC) as they apply to system design, or demonstrated ability to ramp fast
• U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance

Demonstrates extensive expertise in debugging complex, multi‑domain systems, with a strong focus on system health, performance monitoring, and compliance with security frameworks. Capable of leading and developing engineering teams while translating customer requirements into actionable engineering constraints.
