This position is a highly technical leadership role responsible for delivering well-engineered digital and mixed-signal hardware – on schedule – across all product lines. The role provides technical ownership for board- and system-level high-speed digital designs while leading functional team execution, staffing, and engineering process maturity in a fast-growing aerospace and defense startup environment.

In addition to people and process leadership, this role contributes hands-on technical expertise to critical designs, architecture reviews, and complex debug activities, ensuring products are scalable, manufacturable, testable, and robust at production volumes.

This front-line engineering management role is the perfect fit for excellent engineers who want to grow their impact. If you are passionate about designing great hardware, have strong interpersonal skills, and are excited by the prospect of designing teams to make more hardware than you can on your own – this is the role for you.
