Electrical Engineering Manager (Onsite)

The role

You will lead the electrical engineering team responsible for motor controllers, power distribution, compute, camera, battery management, and sensing boards. You will manage the technical output, quality, and manufacturability of all designed boards while remaining hands-on in design and the lab.

What you will do

• Lead, hire, and grow the electrical engineering team
• Set clear goals, run 1:1s, and perform reviews
• Delegate work to engineers based on strengths
• Own the technical output, quality, and schedule of the team
• Scope and estimate electrical work and flag risks
• Implement engineering processes like design reviews and test standards
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering on electrical-mechanical interfaces
• Represent electrical engineering in cross-functional decisions
• Mentor early-career engineers
• Perform hands-on engineering including schematic capture, PCB layout, and board bring-up

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 15+ years designing, building, and testing PCBAs
• Designs taken through production release
• 7+ years leading and managing electrical engineers
• Proficient in Altium Designer or similar EDA tools
• Mastery of power electronics (motor drivers, inverter stages, switch-mode supplies, power sequencing and protection)
• Mastery of digital electronics (MCUs, FPGAs, Ethernet, USB, SPI/I2C/UART, signal-integrity fundamentals)
• Mastery of analog electronics (op-amps, filters, ADC/DAC signal chains, precision sensing)

Nice to have

• Building or scaling an electrical engineering team at a hardware startup
• Leading engineers across more than one site or program at the same time
• High-speed design (PCIe Gen1–5, USB3/4, MIPI, GMSL, 10G Ethernet) with high-current power delivery
• Camera electronics and image sensor integration
• Dense or space-constrained boards (HDI, flex, rigid-flex)
• Motor electromagnetic design and motor control, or control systems for robotic manipulation or locomotion
• Familiarity with embedded programming of DSPs, MCUs, and FPGAs; LTspice and Python
• EMC/EMI design and regulatory compliance testing
• Real-time industrial fieldbuses and safety-rated electronics
• Taking products from prototype through NPI to volume manufacturing

Benefits

• Employee Stock Options
• Paid time off
• Medical/dental/vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Disability insurance
• 401(k)
