We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-focused Staff Hardware Recruiter to help scale some of the most critical engineering organizations within the company. This person will own full-cycle recruiting for complex hardware engineering functions with a particular emphasis on Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Avionics, and other highly specialized technical domains supporting next-generation aerospace and autonomous systems development.
This is not a traditional recruiting role. We are looking for someone who can operate as a true talent partner to engineering leadership - helping shape hiring strategy, influence workforce planning, drive prioritization discipline, and build scalable pipelines for some of the hardest-to-hire technical talent in the industry.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:- Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized hardware engineering roles across Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems, Avionics, PCB Design, Power Distribution, RF, Systems Integration, and related technical domains
>- Partner directly with engineering leadership and hiring managers to define hiring strategy, interview processes, and prioritization plans aligned to business objectives
>- Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies for difficult-to-find technical talent across aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, energy, and adjacent industries
>- Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on market trends, talent availability, compensation competitiveness, and hiring risks
>- Drive strong operational rigor across pipeline management, funnel health, data accuracy, and stakeholder communication
>- Help influence workforce planning and ensure hiring activity remains aligned to approved business priorities
>- Improve recruiting scalability through process improvements, documentation, interview calibration, and tooling optimization
>- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience while maintaining urgency and high hiring quality standards
>- Mentor junior recruiters and sourcers while helping elevate recruiting best practices across the organization
>
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:- 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including significant ownership of complex hardware engineering searches
- Proven success recruiting Electrical Engineers, Power Electronics Engineers, Embedded Hardware Engineers, Avionics Engineers, or similar technical talent
>- Strong understanding of technical hardware concepts and engineering organizational structures
>- Experience partnering with senior engineering leadership in fast-paced or high-growth environments
>- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously while maintaining strong hiring outcomes
>- Strong sourcing and market-mapping capabilities across highly competitive technical domains
>- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and operational execution skills
>- Experience using ATS systems, sourcing platforms, and recruiting analytics to drive decisions and pipeline visibility
>- Ability to operate strategically while remaining highly execution-oriented
>
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:- Experience recruiting within aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, energy, or other highly technical industries
>- Familiarity with hardware development lifecycle concepts, embedded systems, power systems, avionics, or electromechanical integration
