Lead Hardware Engineer

Lead advanced hardware design. Mentor engineers. Own projects end-to-end.

Packet Digital is hiring a Lead Hardware Engineer to drive PCB-based product development and lead a growing engineering team. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who wants both design ownership and team influence.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-impact technical leadership (not just management)


• Real ownership of designs from concept → production


• Strong team culture: low ego, high collaboration


• Relocation support + generous PTO

What You'll Do

• Lead electrical hardware development across projects


• Design schematics, PCB layouts, and system architectures


• Translate customer needs into technical solutions


• Mentor engineers and drive team performance


• Support proposals, estimating, and project planning


• Lead design reviews and improve engineering processes


• Build, test, and troubleshoot hardware

What You Bring

• BS in Electrical Engineering & 4+ years experience


• Deep PCB design experience (schematic & layout)


• Strong hands-on lab/debug skills (oscopes, power, signal tools)


• Proven ability to lead projects or mentor engineers


• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

Compensation & Benefits

• 130 hours PTO + 8 paid holidays


• Medical, dental, vision


• 401(k)
