As the Engineering Manager, you will lead a multidisciplinary team of Software Engineers specializing in embedded Linux systems and Wi-Fi technologies.

You aren't just a people manager; you are a technical facilitator who ensures that our system services and wireless stacks are robust, scalable, and delivered on time.

You will bridge the gap between complex hardware constraints and high-level product requirements, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous growth.

  • Experience: 5+ years in software engineering, with at least 3+ years in a formal leadership or management role.
  • Technical Foundation: A strong background in C/C++ and Embedded Linux. While you may not code daily, you must be able to participate in deep-dive architectural reviews and understand the nuances of the Linux networking stack.
  • Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of the Embedded Product Lifecycle, from initial hardware bring-up to field deployment and OTA updates.
  • Process Mastery: Experience implementing modern DevOps practices in embedded environments (CI/CD for hardware, automated testing, and remote debugging).
  • Resource Management: Proven ability to manage sprint capacity, identify bottlenecks, and mitigate risks in high-pressure delivery cycles.

Nice to Have

  • Ecosystem Expertise: Previous experience managing teams working with OpenWRT, Yocto, or Buildroot.
  • Wireless Literacy: Familiarity with the complexities of Wi-Fi certification (Wi-Fi Alliance) and regulatory compliance.
  • Modern Languages: Exposure to managing teams using Rust or Go in an embedded context.
  • Telco Standards: Understanding of the broadband industry, including USP (TR-369) and Matter protocols.

Soft Skills

  • Empathetic Leadership: Ability to support engineers through technical challenges while maintaining a high bar for performance.
  • Conflict Resolution: Skilled at navigating technical disagreements and finding "middle-ground" solutions that don't compromise system integrity.
  • Strategic Communication: Ability to translate "low-level" technical blockers into clear business impacts for non-technical leadership.

Leadership and Delivery:

  • Team Growth: Hire, mentor, and retain top-tier talent across embedded and Wi-Fi domains. Conduct performance reviews and career development sessions.
  • Project Orchestration: Lead the execution of complex software roadmaps, balancing technical debt with new feature delivery in an agile environment.
  • Technical Strategy: Collaborate with Senior Engineers to define the architectural vision, ensuring alignment between general system services and the Wi-Fi subsystem.
  • Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for silicon vendors (Qualcomm, Media Tek, etc.) and internal product stakeholders.
