Electrical Engineering Manager
Shape the Future of Tactical Aviation TechnologyA cutting-edge drone technology company at the forefront of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) innovation is seeking a
driven, hands-on Electrical Engineering Manager to lead the charge in developing advanced electronic systems for mission-critical applications in defense, public safety, and national security.
This is a high-impact leadership role where engineering excellence meets real-world application. You'll be managing a growing team of engineers, steering the development of embedded systems, power electronics, and RF communication hardware that define the next generation of autonomous aircraft.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead & Inspire: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of electrical engineers. Set clear technical direction and foster a culture of innovation, ownership, and high performance.
- Build the Future: Drive the design and optimization of critical electronics - from motor controllers and battery management to embedded systems and RF communications.
- Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with mechanical, firmware, and software teams to create cohesive, high-performing systems that fly with precision and reliability.
- Raise the Bar: Establish and enforce rigorous quality, testing, and compliance standards across all electrical systems.
- Be Strategic: Play a key role in product roadmapping and technology forecasting. Bring insights on trends, risks, and opportunities that shape how we innovate.
- Own the Mission: Help transition designs from R&D to scalable production. Work side-by-side with manufacturing to turn prototypes into field-ready systems.
What You Bring
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Master's a plus).
- Experience:
- 7+ years in electrical design and development.
- 3+ years leading engineering teams, ideally within drones, aerospace, robotics, or other high-integrity hardware systems.
- Technical Expertise:
- Deep knowledge of PCB layout, embedded systems, signal processing, power systems, and RF design.
- Experience with CAD tools, simulation environments (e.g., SPICE, MATLAB), and control systems for real-time applications.
- Leadership: You've led teams through ambiguity, scaled complex systems, and delivered under pressure.
- Communication: Able to clearly articulate vision, strategy, and technical details to engineers, execs, and partners alike.
Why This Role?
This isn't just a management gig - it's a chance to
lead a team that's literally building what flies tomorrow. You'll work on meaningful tech that protects lives, pushes boundaries, and keeps the world a little safer.
Additional Info
- Location: Onsite in Salt Lake City with occasional travel as needed.
