About the role

We're looking for a technically seasoned Engineering Manager to lead and scale our IoT development efforts. This is not a traditional EM role. You will sit at the convergence of hardware, embedded systems, supply chain, and software — co-owning delivery execution across multiple engineering disciplines while directly supporting the development of cross-functional team culture, process excellence, and technical quality.

You bring hands-on depth in hardware/IoT engineering, comfort navigating contract manufacturing relationships, and the organizational instincts to run multi-team coordination across diverse engineering domains. You are a builder of people, processes, and systems — equally at home reviewing a firmware dependency as you are facilitating a sprint retrospective or partnering with supply chain on component EOL risk.

What You'll Own:

Engineering Team Leadership

• Lead, coach, and grow engineers across embedded firmware/software, hardware (electrical & mechanical), and adjacent teams.
• Drive a high-performance team culture grounded in accountability, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
• Comfortable co-facilitating core agile/scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and reviews — with precision and consistency.
• Own team velocity metrics, delivery health, and engineering throughput KPIs.
• Partner closely with Product Management to align roadmap execution with team capacity and technical feasibility.

Hardware & IoT Delivery

• Help lead end-to-end delivery of IoT hardware and firmware programs — from component selection and EVT/DVT through production readiness.
• Manage hardware development milestones, design freeze gates, and cross-discipline dependencies (mechanical, electrical, embedded).
• Translate hardware constraints, lead times, and supply chain risks into clear engineering plans and stakeholder communications.
• Drive technical risk identification across hardware/firmware integration points, ensuring edge cases are surfaced and resolved early.

Supply Chain & Contract Manufacturing

• Serve as the engineering-side owner for contract manufacturer (CM) relationships — managing NPI handoffs, yield issues, and production quality gates.
• Collaborate with supply chain on component sourcing strategy, approved vendor lists (AVLs), and EOL mitigation planning.
• Drive BOM governance and DFM/DFT review processes in partnership with electrical and mechanical engineering teams.
• Drive manufacturing readiness reviews (MRR) and ensure cross-functional sign-off before production milestones.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Interface with DevOps Engineering to ensure firmware deployment pipelines, OTA update infrastructure, and device provisioning systems are production-grade.
• Partner with AI/ML Engineering to scope and integrate on-device or edge inference capabilities into IoT platform features.
• Support Developer Experience (DX) Engineering in defining internal tooling requirements that improve hardware and firmware team workflows.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to refine the organizational model as teams scale.

What You Bring:

Required Experience

• 5+ years of experience in hardware or IoT engineering, with 5+ years in an engineering management or technical leadership role.
• Direct, hands-on experience with embedded systems development — firmware, RTOS, bare-metal, or equivalent.
• Deep familiarity with hardware development lifecycle stages — EVT, DVT, PVT, MP.
• Proven track record managing or closely partnering with contract manufacturers across NPI, ramp, and sustaining engineering.
• Practical knowledge of supply chain fundamentals — component sourcing, lead time management, BOM governance, AVL strategies.
• Experience running Agile/Scrum teams with measurable delivery outcomes.
• Strong communication skills — able to translate hardware constraints and technical complexity to executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners equally well.

Technical Depth (hands-on or working knowledge)

• Embedded C/C++, firmware OTA update architectures, RTOS fundamentals.
• Schematic review, PCB design trade-offs, signal integrity concepts.
• Mechanical enclosure design, IP ratings, thermal management considerations.
• IoT connectivity protocols — MQTT, LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, BLE, Zigbee.
• Cloud-connected device architectures — edge compute, device shadow/twin, telemetry pipelines.
• CI/CD for firmware — build systems, simulation environments, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• AI/ML at the edge — awareness of model quantization, TinyML, or on-device inference trade-offs is a plus.

Leadership & Soft Skills

• Builder mentality — you create structure where ambiguity exists and process where chaos tends to live.
• Player-coach orientation — not afraid to get into technical details when your team needs it.
• Data-driven — you track the right metrics and use them to make decisions, not just report upward.
• High trust communicator — proactive, clear, and calibrated across engineering, product, and executive audiences.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in industrial IoT, energy, oil & gas, or critical infrastructure environments.
• Prior exposure to multi-sensor data fusion, edge AI platforms, or real-time monitoring systems.
• Familiarity with platform-product transitions — from services-led delivery toward scalable software platform models.
• Background in both hardware-centric and software-centric product organizations.
• Experience working with Jira, Confluence, or comparable tools for program/project tracking.

Compensation Range

The base salary range for this role is $160,000-$200,000, plus a competitive equity package.
