Senior Technical Manager, Electrical Engineering

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

The Senior Technical Manager of Electrical Engineering leads Echodyne’s Analog & Mixed Signal (AMS) organization—responsible for architecting, designing, verifying, and sustaining the analog, digital/mixed-signal, power delivery, clocking, and high-speed interfaces that form the electrical backbone of Echodyne’s next-generation radar platforms.

This leader combines deep technical expertise with people leadership, guiding the AMS team through the full hardware lifecycle—from concept and architecture through design, bring-up, verification, transition to manufacturing, and long-term sustainment. They will champion engineering excellence, ensure alignment with program and product objectives, and drive continuous improvement across processes, workflows, and design methodologies.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Electrical & RF Engineering, this leader balances technical ownership with organizational leadership, mentoring and developing engineers while remaining hands-on enough to influence architecture and solve complex cross-disciplinary challenges.

• Lead AMS architecture, schematic development, simulation, layout guidance, bring-up, and design verification
• Champion DFX principles (DFM, DFA, DFT, DFQ) and ensure robust transitions to manufacturing
• Guide team to own AMS subsystem performance across the product lifecycle, including root-cause investigations and corrective actions
• Lead trade studies, risk assessments, and design reviews across multiple radar programs

• Grow, mentor, and lead a multidisciplinary Analog & Mixed Signal engineering team
• Set technical direction, development goals, and resourcing across programs
• Foster a culture of rigor, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Serve as the champion for Analog & Mixed Signal collaboration between Systems, RF, FPGA/FW, Mechanical, DevOps, Test, Quality, and Manufacturing
• Align Analog & Mixed Signal work with program priorities, requirements flowdown, and system-level performance budgets
• Ensure strong manufacturing test strategies and support production readiness

• Improve Analog & Mixed Signal workflows, documentation rigor, verification practices, and design toolchain utilization
• Support refinement of agile hardware development processes tailored to program needs

• Expertise with power management, clocking, ADC/DAC subsystems, high-speed digital interfaces, and signal/power integrity
• Strong hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging, verification, and manufacturing transition
• Leadership of technical teams or engineering managers
• Experience delivering multiple hardware products through full lifecycle iterations

• Experience with radar, high-performance sensing, or adjacent RF systems
• Collaboration experience with firmware/FPGA teams on timing, interfaces, and bring-up
• Familiarity with Altium, SPICE tools (or equivalents), and lab test equipment

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (MS preferred)
• 10 or more years of analog and mixed-signal circuit design experience, including ownership of complex printed circuit assemblies
• Prior technical leadership or engineering management experience required
• Eligibility to handle export-controlled information (ITAR/EAR)

Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations.  Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
