Requirements

12+ years in engineering, with several years leading engineering organizations that shipped production software to external customers, preferably in industrial markets.
Track record delivering a multi-tenant SaaS platform from architecture through general availability, then running its ongoing release cadence against hard external commitments.
Experience running on-premise or privately deployed software for enterprise customers with strict security or compliance requirements.
Hands-on hardware design experience for industrial or field-deployed products, including environmental hardening and certifications (UL, CE, FCC, IP-rated enclosures).

Nice To Haves

Startup experience ramping a company from 1-N.
NERC CIP or comparable regulated critical-infrastructure experience.
Personally built data products or analytics platforms, not just partnered with the team building them.
Grid intelligence or dynamic line rating domain experience, or direct hardware/firmware, embedded, or OTA background.

Lead engineering delivery across Platform, Applications, Embedded Software, Data Science, and Hardware Engineering, with every director and manager in these functions reporting through this role.
Drive Nexus Core's ongoing release cadence, across multi-tenant SaaS and on-premise deployments for regulated, international customers.
Guide the field-deployed sensor fleet, including health monitoring, lifecycle management, and the next-generation sensor launch, bringing hardware design judgment to component and subsystem trade-offs.
Establish delivery standards and a reporting cadence across the org: milestone-level, on track or not, with a named owner for every commitment.
Represent engineering to the executive team and partner with Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance on delivery commitments, forecasting, and customer escalations.
Develop a working command of Nexus Core's architecture and release history, the sensor fleet's current state, and the org structure across all four functions.
Stand up a milestone-level reporting cadence with named owners across Platform, Applications, Data Science, and Hardware/Firmware.
Build working relationships with Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance leaders on delivery commitments and forecasting.
Run Nexus Core's release cadence against hard external commitments for existing SaaS and on-premise customers.
Drive the component and subsystem decisions for the next-generation sensor launch, working closely with the hardware/firmware manager.
Ensure next-generation sensor design decisions are locked and moving through execution toward launch.
Ensure Nexus Core is on a predictable release cadence that consistently meets external commitments across SaaS and on-premise deployments.
Ensure the organization is staffed with strong managers and senior ICs across Platform, Applications, Data Science, and Hardware/Firmware.
