Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering

Description

About E  Systems

At E  Systems, we're not imagining the future of cardiac care. We're building it. We are the team behind the world's first FDA-approved leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing device for heart failure. It's a breakthrough that's redefining what's possible, and it's just the beginning.

Based in Silicon Valley, we're advancing the WiSE System, a first-of-its-kind device in cardiac rhythm management. Your work here has a direct line to patients whose lives depend on what we build. We hire people who want to solve hard problems and who care about getting it right.

We invest in our people as much as our technology. Expect a collaborative, transparent culture, real career growth in a fast-moving startup, competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive benefits, and generous PTO.

If you want your work to matter, E  is where you belong.

The Senior Manager of Electrical Engineering is responsible for how E 's electronics integrate with firmware and software into a single system. This role ensures that our electrical designs are clear, scalable, and well-integrated, both for current products and future generations. The Senior Manager leads junior and senior technical staff, sets system architecture direction, and works closely with Firmware, Software, Mechanical, Program Management, Product Support, and Quality/Regulatory.

The role balances delivering today's products with building a strong technical foundation for the future.
