Lead Electrical Engineer

Lead advanced hardware design. Mentor engineers. Own projects end-to-end.

Packet Digital is hiring a Lead Hardware Engineer to drive PCB-based product development and lead a growing engineering team. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who wants both design ownership and team influence.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-impact technical leadership (not just management)

• Real ownership of designs from concept production

• Strong team culture: low ego, high collaboration

• Relocation support + generous PTO

What You'll Do

• Lead electrical hardware development across projects

• Design schematics, PCB layouts, and system architectures

• Translate customer needs into technical solutions

• Mentor engineers and drive team performance

• Support proposals, estimating, and project planning

• Lead design reviews and improve engineering processes

• Build, test, and troubleshoot hardware

What You Bring

• BS in Electrical Engineering & 4+ years experience

• Deep PCB design experience (schematic & layout)

• Strong hands-on lab/debug skills (oscopes, power, signal tools)

• Proven ability to lead projects or mentor engineers

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

Compensation & Benefits

• 130 hours PTO + 8 paid holidays

• Medical, dental, vision

• 401(k)
