Role Overview:

We are seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our electronics hardware function. This role is critical to ensuring accountable execution, high-quality product development, and timely delivery of hardware programs. The ideal candidate brings a strong mix of technical expertise, leadership, and commercial understanding — and has successfully led teams that delivered consumer electronics products at scale.

This is both a strategic and operational role with clear focus on team building, vendor coordination, execution control, and cost-quality balance. You will drive product delivery from concept through to mass production in close collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

Team & Leadership
• Lead and manage a cross-functional electronics team including hardware engineers, PCB designers, testers, and project managers.
• Take ownership of team development — recruiting, mentoring, and retaining high-performing engineering talent.
• Establish strong engineering discipline through structured reviews, milestone tracking, and technical guidance.
• Drive a culture of accountability, speed, and collaboration across the team.

Product Development & Execution
• Oversee end-to-end electronics development for products involving PCBAs, modules, flex circuits, sensors, and power systems.
• Track execution across EVT, DVT, and PVT stages, ensuring timely closure of deliverables and issue resolution.
• Conduct technical reviews and guide architecture decisions with a focus on modularity, manufacturability, and cost.
• Manage engineering schedules, budgets, and risk plans in alignment with business and product goals.

Vendor & Program Management
• Coordinate with global EMS/ODM partners and component suppliers for timely delivery and quality adherence.
• Integrate external development efforts into internal project schedules and ensure alignment on specifications.
• Evaluate and manage supplier capabilities for scaling up to production volumes.
• Collaborate with sourcing and supply chain teams on BOM optimization, sourcing alternatives, and compliance.

Techno-Commercial Ownership
• Act as a bridge between engineering execution and business priorities.
• Participate in trade-off discussions balancing cost, quality, performance, and timelines.
• Collaborate with product and marketing teams to validate concepts and prototypes.
• Support documentation, certification, and shipment readiness for global markets.

Required Experience & Skills:
• 8–15 years of experience in electronics hardware development with at least 3–5 years in a leadership or managerial role.
• Proven track record of shipping consumer-facing electronics products in significant volumes.
• Strong understanding of PCBA, flex circuits, embedded electronics, sensors, and wireless technologies (BLE, Wi-Fi, etc.).
• Experience managing the full lifecycle of hardware programs — from design through mass production.
• Ability to manage multidisciplinary teams and global supplier/ODM engagements.
• Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Familiarity with DFM, cost engineering, and regulatory/compliance frameworks.

Education:
• B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech in Electronics Engineering or equivalent
