Senior Manager– Hardware Engineering

We are seeking a highly experienced Technical Manager to lead the hardware development of our Industrial Automationoffers. This role is ideal for a senior technical leader with a strong background in electronics and mechanical system design, deep experience in safety‑critical, standards‑driven environments, and a proven track record of delivering industrial or automotive products from concept through customer release.

What will you do?

Key Responsibilities

Technical & Systems Leadership:

• Driving strong system engineering practices

• Guiding the teams in risk analysis, modelling, simulation and automation of design and verification

• Championdesign forcost,safety, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability.

• Drive knowledge reuse,standardization,common architectures, design principles, and reusable platformstocontinuously improve standardized hardware development processes and time-to-market.

Product Development & Lifecycle Ownership:

• You will provide technical and people leadership across the full productdevelopmentlifecyclefrom
  
  Concept and feasibilityto Customer release and field support.

• Ensure compliance with industrial and/or automotive standards (e.g., functional safety, EMC, environmental, reliability).

• Lead development in safety‑critical environments with strict regulatory oversight.

• Ensurestrictcompliance with relevant standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, UL, SIL, CE)

• Drive a strong culture ofengineeringrigor, quality, and documentation.

Innovation & Advanced Engineering

• Drive the application of AI, automation and data-driven methodsacross requirements, system design, schematics and layout, and verification testing to improve quality, safety, and speed‑to‑market in regulated industrial automation products.

People & Cross‑Functional Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and develop multi‑disciplinary hardware teams (electronics, mechanical, systems)

• Define and driveclear, measurable goalsaligned with the Hardware CoE mission

• Foster strong collaboration with product management,firmware,software,safety, validation, manufacturingandsupply chain teams.

• Foster a culture of engineering rigor, systems thinking, continuous improvement, and collaboration across globally distributed teams.

What qualifications will make you successful?

• Proven track record of driving end‑to‑end hardware product development, from concept and system architecture through customer release and field deployment
• Strong hands‑on expertise in electronics engineering, including analog and digital design, power electronics, embedded hardware, EMC/EMI, signal integrity, and power integrity

• Good background in mechanical engineering, including thermal management, structural design, and design for manufacturability, assembly, and serviceability

• Deep understanding of electromechanical system integration for industrial environments

• Demonstrated strength in systems engineering, including requirements definition and traceability, system architecture, interface management, designtradeoffs, and risk analysis (FMEA, FMEDA, fault tree analysis)

• Extensive experience developing products in safety‑critical and highly regulated environments, with strong working knowledge of relevant IEC, ISO, UL, CE, EMC, environmental, and reliability standards (functional safety experience is a plus)

• Practical experience with modelling, simulation, and verification methodologies, including use of structured or model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches

• Strong understanding of hardware verification and validation strategies, including reliability, stress, and compliance testing

• Experience or demonstrated leadership in applying AI and data‑driven techniques across hardware development, including requirements analysis, design reviews, schematics/layout checks, test generation, and defect or anomaly detection

• Proven ability to drive automation of engineering workflows while ensuring explainability, auditability, and regulatory compliance

• Strong people‑leadership skills, with a history of mentoring senior engineers, building technical capability, and developing future technical leaders

• Demonstrated ability to break down organizational silos and collaborate effectively…
