About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineering Manager to lead the architecture, design, integration, testing, and production support of complex electrical and electro-mechanical systems involving electronics packaging, sensor integration, robotics, tooling, and high-reliability hardware. This role combines deep electrical engineering expertise with team leadership responsibilities and requires a subject matter expert who can drive projects from concept through production while supervising and developing engineering talent. The ideal candidate will lead cross-functional efforts across electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, manufacturing, test, and industrial design teams to deliver tightly integrated solutions for advanced products and systems. Responsibilities include electrical system architecture; PCB and flex PCB design oversight; power, signal, and interconnect definition; sensor and detector integration; EMI/EMC compliance; grounding and shielding strategies; electrical test planning; hardware troubleshooting; and design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DFMA). This role also supports prototype builds, test equipment and fixture development, assembly procedures, subsystem validation, root cause investigation, and sustaining engineering improvements. In addition to technical execution, this position requires leadership of a team of electrical and electro-mechanical engineers, including workforce planning, performance management, coaching, career development, resource balancing, and driving process excellence. The candidate must be comfortable providing technical direction, preparing cost and schedule estimates, supporting design reviews, managing project execution across the engineering lifecycle, and engaging with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
