We are looking for a Director of Electrical Engineering to lead hardware design and development from concept to production, building a team that sets the standard for how we design and deliver hardware.

Responsibilities

• Lead electrical engineering across power electronics, embedded systems, circuit design, and hardware development for consumer products at scale
• Own the full hardware development process: schematics, PCB layouts, circuit simulation, DVT, and compliance (UL, FCC, CE, IEC, and others)
• Drive power system integration — power conversion, motor control, and energy‑efficient solutions — ensuring performance and reliability at high volume
• Ensure embedded system architecture meets requirements for performance, scalability, and real‑time firmware integration
• Champion DFM and DFT practices in close partnership with manufacturing, operations, and contract manufacturers
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with mechanical engineering, industrial design, product development, and R&D to ensure seamless system integration
• Partner with external suppliers to deliver high‑quality, cost‑effective hardware solutions
• Mentor and develop engineering talent — growing individual capabilities and building long‑term team depth

Qualifications

• 8+ years in electrical engineering, with 3+ years in technical leadership or management role
• Deep expertise in power electronics: power conversion, motor control, and battery systems
• Solid background in embedded systems design, microcontrollers, and real‑time firmware integration
• Proven track record developing and launching high‑volume consumer electronics
• Strong grasp of DFM, DFT, and hardware regulatory compliance
• Experience managing DVT processes and navigating certification requirements
• Effective communicator — capable of technical design reviews and executive updates
• A leadership style that raises the bar: direct, collaborative, and invested in developing the people around you

Salary & Benefits

Salary Range: $141,000 — $220,000 USD.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance; flexible spending accounts; health savings accounts with company contribution; 401(k) retirement plan with matching; employee stock purchase program; life, AD&D, short‑term and long‑term disability insurance; generous paid time off; company holidays; parental leave; identity theft protection; pet insurance; pre‑paid legal insurance; back‑up child and eldercare days; product discounts; referral bonus program; and more.
