- Manage contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and test houses, and own supply chain resilience for critical components
- Work closely with product, software, and operations leadership to identify high-impact hardware opportunities
- Lead and grow our hardware engineering team across electronics, embedded, test and compliance, setting a high bar for hiring, mentoring and technical excellence.
Requirements
- Strong hardware engineering background with 10+ years of experience in electronics design engineering, including at least 3 years leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams
- Deep experience taking hardware products from concept into volume production
- Proficiency in electronics design, from schematics and PCB layout to board bring-up and debugging
- Understanding of embedded systems, firmware, and IoT connectivity (e.g., MCUs, communication protocols, OTA updates)
- Experience with power electronics or grid-connected energy hardware (e.g., inverters, batteries, EV chargers, solar)
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with software, product, and supply chain teams
- Clear communication and an ability to prioritize for both speed of iteration and reliability
Benefits
- Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
