What You’ll Do

• Lead hardware development from concept through production, ensuring products meet performance, quality, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and schedule objectives.
• Plan and manage hardware engineering projects in alignment with Firmware, Systems, Project Management, and broader company objectives, proactively managing technical, resource, quality, and schedule risks.
• Drive predictable execution across the hardware team by establishing clear priorities, ownership, milestones, and accountability for engineering deliverables.
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing hardware engineering team by recruiting top talent, providing technical mentorship, setting clear expectations, and supporting career growth.
• Establish and continuously improve hardware engineering processes, ensuring consistent execution across projects while maintaining the speed and flexibility required in a high-growth environment.
• Provide technical leadership across architecture, analog, digital, power, PCB design, DFM/DFT, reliability, systems integration, and compliance, helping the team resolve complex hardware challenges.
• Partner closely with Product Management, Program Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and external partners to align technical decisions with customer needs and business objectives.
• Drive a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, continuous improvement, and accountability across the hardware organization.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of hardware engineering experience, including experience leading or managing hardware engineering teams through the full product development lifecycle.
• Strong technical breadth across analog, digital, power electronics, PCB design, testing, manufacturing, and systems engineering, with the ability to guide technical decisions and resolve complex hardware challenges.
