JOB - Electrical Engineering Manager.

LOCATION – Austin, Texas

TERM - Permanent

RATE – $160,000 - $180,000 per annum + bonus + ESOs

We're on the lookout for an experienced Electrical Engineering Manager to take ownership of end-to-end electrical design for complex consumer electronic systems.

The position is focused on the development SOC- and MCU-based systems, working on everything from analog and digital circuitry to communication interfaces, sensors, motors, and power systems.

You'll work hand-in-hand with firmware developers, product leaders, and cross-disciplinary teams to transform cutting-edge ideas into fully realized products — always focused on delivering high performance, cost-effective solutions with a seamless user experience.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Electrical Design: Take ownership of electrical system development from initial concept through to mass production — including brainstorming, schematic capture, prototyping, validation, and production support.
• Circuit & Hardware Engineering: Design and troubleshoot analog and digital circuitry, power systems (including switch-mode power supplies), high-speed interfaces (displays, cameras), wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and a range of embedded sensors (IMUs, proximity, hall effect, etc.).
• Validation & Testing: Define and implement comprehensive hardware validation plans. Perform hands-on bench testing and generate detailed technical reports outlining results and recommendations.
• Team Integration: Collaborate with firmware engineers to support hardware-software integration and board-level bring-up. Engage in peer reviews and provide input on iterative design improvements.
• Design Optimization: Focus on delivering robust, efficient, and scalable designs that balance high performance with cost-effective manufacturing.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work alongside product teams and multidisciplinary engineering groups to drive innovation across a portfolio of next-generation connected household devices.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 7+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with 3+ years in a lead role
• Deep understanding of embedded systems and low-level hardware
• Strong hands-on experience with digital and analog circuit designPCB CAD tools (preferably Altium), and hardware debugging
• Proficiency with communication protocols like UART, SPI, I2C, BLE, Wi-Fi
• Familiarity with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, DMMs, network analyzers
• Experience with sensors, motors, actuators, and user interface components
• Basic understanding of firmware development and EMC/EMI best practices
• Strong initiative, attention to detail, and ability to lead cross-functional collaboration
