Job description

We’re hiring: Manager, Hardware Engineering | Austin, TX

I’m looking to connect with experienced Digital & Mixed-Signal Hardware Engineers who are ready to expand their impact through technical leadership, team development, and hands‑on engineering.

This is a highly technical leadership position focused on delivering advanced high-speed digital and mixed-signal electronics for space and aerospace applications.

You don’t necessarily need to already be an Engineering Manager. This could be an excellent next step for a Senior, Staff, or Principal Engineer who has strong technical leadership experience and is ready to move into engineering management.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Building and leading a high-performing digital & mixed-signal hardware engineering team
• Maintaining technical excellence across complex hardware programs
• Leading high-speed digital and mixed-signal board/system development
• Driving rigorous architecture and design reviews
• Establishing signal integrity, schematic, PCB layout and hardware development standards
• Supporting complex debugging of high-speed interfaces, large FPGAs and processors
• Contributing hands‑on to critical board‑level designs when required
• Driving DFM/DFT and successful transition from engineering into production
• Improving design reuse, modular architectures and platform commonality
• Mentoring engineers and developing technical career paths
• Supporting hiring, staffing, resource planning and engineering execution

What we’re looking for:

• 7+ years of digital or mixed-signal hardware engineering experience
• BS or higher in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• Deep expertise in high-speed digital and mixed-signal board design
• Strong understanding of signal integrity and timing
• Hands‑on experience with Altium or similar schematic/PCB tools
• Experience with high-speed simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave or ADS SIPro
• Strong DFM/DFT and hardware production experience
• Experience conducting technical design reviews and mentoring engineersAbility to work effectively across RF, power, firmware, software and mechanical engineering
• Strong technical and non-technical communication skills
• Experience with software‑defined radios (SDRs), FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado, aerospace/defense hardware, or previous technical leadership/engineering management would be particularly valuable.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to someone who wants to remain close to the hardware while growing their impact by building, mentoring, and leading the engineering team responsible for delivering it.

Due to U.S. space technology export regulations, candidates must meet the applicable U.S. export‑control eligibility requirements for the position.
