Engineering Manager – Hardware Development

Location: Hybrid (2–3 days onsite preferred)
Employment Type: Full-Time

We are a fast-moving product development organization preparing for a major hardware launch within the next 10–15 months. Our team is lean, highly capable, and execution-focused. We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for developing a complex hardware product that includes embedded systems and display technology.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in an agile, growth-oriented environment and enjoys guiding strong technical contributors toward successful product delivery.

The Engineering Manager will lead a cross-functional team spanning:

• Electrical Engineering
• Firmware / Embedded Software
• Mechanical Design

The team currently consists of approximately seven engineers and may expand following product launch.

This role is primarily leadership-focused. You will not be expected to design schematics or directly execute engineering tasks, but you must possess strong technical fluency to:

• Evaluate hardware architecture decisions
• Discuss microcontroller and embedded system selections
• Guide design trade-offs
• Ensure requirements are clearly defined and met
• Maintain accountability for delivery timelines

You will oversee performance management, team engagement, and overall execution.

• Lead hardware development from requirements through launch
• Own requirements management and cross-functional alignment
• Oversee design reviews and evaluate key technical decisions
• Ensure project milestones are achieved on schedule
• Conduct performance reviews and manage team development
• Foster high engagement, morale, and retention
• Collaborate across electrical, firmware, and mechanical disciplines
• Interface with stakeholders and internal leadership

• 10+ years of hardware development experience
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience
• Experience delivering physical hardware products to market
• Strong knowledge of embedded systems and microcontrollers
• Ability to assess engineering decisions without directly executing the work
• Comfort working in environments with less formal process and more ownership
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent hands‑on experience

• Experience leading cross-disciplinary engineering teams
• Exposure to display systems or embedded controllers
• Strong business acumen and understanding of product delivery timelines
• Experience in smaller or mid‑sized organizations where wearing multiple hats is required

• A technically credible leader who has delivered real hardware
• Someone comfortable guiding engineers across multiple disciplines
• A pragmatic decision-maker who balances speed with sound engineering
• A leader who can drive accountability while maintaining team morale
• An individual who thrives in fast‑paced, execution-focused environments

• Hybrid schedule (2–3 days onsite preferred)
• High-visibility leadership role
• Direct impact on an upcoming product launch
