Job Description:

At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Hardware Engineering Managers sit at the intersection of technical leadership, people management, and product delivery. This role is ideal for a seasoned hardware professional who has grown from deep technical expertise into a leader capable of guiding teams, aligning stakeholders, and delivering complex hardware programs at scale.

HPE is a global technology leader built on innovation, trust, and engineering excellence. We empower our managers with meaningful ownership-of teams, execution, quality, and outcomes-while working alongside some of the industry's strongest technical talent.

Why HPE Networking?

HPE Networking is one of our fastest‑growing and most strategic businesses, delivering open, standards‑based networking solutions across Branch, Campus, and Data Center environments worldwide. Our platforms support customers ranging from growing enterprises to the world's largest hyperscalers.

As a Hardware Engineering Manager, you will lead teams developing complex, high‑performance networking hardware, ensuring technical excellence while driving predictable execution from concept through mass production.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT

As a Hardware Engineering Manager, you will lead and develop a team of hardware engineers while owning execution of hardware R&D programs across the full product lifecycle.

You will:

* Provide technical and execution leadership for hardware R&D programs, working in close partnership with domain experts and cross‑functional stakeholders

* Translate business and product strategy into clear hardware development goals, execution plans, and deliverables across the full product lifecycle

* Plan and manage resources, priorities, and timelines from product conception through mass production, ensuring alignment with program commitments

* Identify technical, schedule, cost, and resource risks early; establish and execute mitigation and contingency plans to minimize impact

* Develop, manage, and track project budgets and schedules; forecast milestones and completion dates, and proactively address threats to on‑time and on‑budget delivery

* Lead execution across organizational boundaries, collaborating effectively with system architecture, firmware, supply chain, and program management teams to ensure total project success

* Ensure design quality through structured design reviews, margin analysis, validation planning, and hands‑on technical oversight

* Build, lead, and develop high‑performing hardware engineering teams through effective performance management, coaching, and talent development

* Support hiring, onboarding, performance management, and succession planning for the team

* Communicate clearly and regularly with engineering and business leadership by presenting project status, risks, trade‑offs, and progress updates through reviews and management presentations

Why This Role Stands Out

* Balanced role combining people leadership and deep technical ownership

* Direct impact on high‑performance networking platforms deployed globally

* Opportunity to lead and grow senior and principal‑level engineers

* Strong influence over execution quality, schedules, and delivery outcomes

* Culture that values engineering rigor, mentorship, and long‑term growth
