Engineering Manager - IoT development - Hardware -Software - Supply Chain/CM - DevOps, AI/ML, DXA high-growth, venture-backed industrial technology company is seeking a technically strong Engineering Manager to lead and scale its IoT development efforts. This is a hybrid leadership role at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, supply chain, and software, offering the opportunity to shape both technical delivery and team culture during a key scale-up phase.The RoleThis is not a traditional management position. You will operate as a player-coach, driving delivery across multidisciplinary engineering teams while building the processes, systems, and culture needed to scale effectively. You’ll work closely with Product, Supply Chain, and cross-functional engineering groups to deliver robust, production-ready IoT solutions.Key ResponsibilitiesLead, coach, and develop engineers across embedded, hardware (electrical & mechanical), and software domainsDrive end-to-end IoT delivery from early hardware validation (EVT/DVT) through to productionOversee engineering execution, including sprint ceremonies, delivery metrics, and team performanceManage cross-functional dependencies across firmware, hardware, and cloud systemsOwn engineering-side relationships with contract manufacturers, including NPI, yield, and qualityPartner with supply chain on component sourcing, BOM governance, and risk mitigationEnsure strong collaboration with DevOps, AI/ML, and internal tooling teamsWhat They're Looking ForProven experience in IoT or hardware engineering, with leadership responsibility in technical teamsStrong background in embedded systems (firmware, RTOS, or bare-metal)Solid understanding of the hardware development lifecycle (EVT → production)Experience working with contract manufacturers and supply chain processesAbility to operate across multiple engineering disciplines and translate complexity into clear plansTrack record of delivering through Agile/Scrum environmentsTechnical ExposureEmbedded C/C++, OTA updates, and connected device architecturesHardware fundamentals: PCB design, system trade-offs, and enclosure considerationsIoT connectivity (e.g., MQTT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN, BLE)Cloud-integrated devices, telemetry pipelines, and edge computeFamiliarity with CI/CD for firmware and hardware-in-the-loop testingIdeally you'll bring Comfortable balancing hands-on technical depth with team leadershipStrong communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholdersExperience in industrial sectors (e.g., energy, oil & gas, manufacturing, infrastructure) is advantageousPrior exposure to multi-sensor data fusion, edge AI platforms, or real-time monitoring systemsFamiliarity with platform-product transitions — from services-led delivery toward scalable software platform modelsBackground in both hardware-centric and software-centric product organizations Experience working with Jira, Confluence, or comparable tools for program/project trackinWhy Join?Opportunity to shape a scaling IoT platform at the intersection of hardware and softwareHigh-impact role with ownership across delivery, team, and processCollaborative, fast-paced environment with strong growth trajectoryIf this role doesn’t feel like an exact fit, you’re still encouraged to apply, as the company is continuing to grow and hire across multiple areas of the team.
