  • Translate embedded system concepts into manufacturable PCB designs with attention to cost, durability, and environmental performance.
  • Build and oversee a QA and testing framework for hardware verification and field-readiness.
  • Design the manufacturing and assembly process from scratch, including BOM optimization and yield improvement.
  • Oversee compliance with relevant certifications (e.g., MIL-STD, FIPS, TAA, FCC, etc.).
  • Support hardware prototyping, revision control, and field testing for rugged environments.
  • Partner with software, firmware, and DevSecOps teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery across the stack.
  • Provide clear reporting and roadmap leadership to executives on cost, delivery timelines, risks, and growth opportunities.

  • Proven track record taking hardware products from prototype to full-scale production.
  • Experience managing contract manufacturers and external design teams.

  • Familiarity with ruggedized or mission-critical systems (MIL-STD, IP ratings, etc.).
  • Hands-on leadership with a builder's mindset—comfortable owning strategy and jumping into the weeds.
  • S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
  • Bonus Points For

  • Past experience building tags, sensors, or RFID devices for defense, logistics, or industrial use cases.
  • Familiarity with secure supply chain practices (FIPS, TAA, NDAA compliance).
  • Experience in early-stage companies or spin-out business lines.
  • Knowledge of low-power design, cellular / LTE / LoRa / Bluetooth modules.
  • Technical degree in EE, ME, or related field. MBA or product / ops background a plus.
