Full job description

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Manager, Electronics & Embedded Systems leads the electronics and embedded consulting practice, with primary responsibility for technical leadership, project strategy, team capacity planning, and client engagement. This is a senior leadership role focused on building high-performing project teams, shaping technical direction, and ensuring successful delivery across a diverse portfolio of embedded hardware and firmware programs.

Approximately 50% of this role is leadership, planning, and business-facing work, including project strategy development, collaboration with Business Development (BD) and Program Management (PM), and client engagement. The remaining focus is on technical oversight, senior-level design reviews, and ensuring the quality, feasibility, and scalability of solutions delivered by the team.

Leadership & People Management Responsibilities

Provide overall leadership for the Electronics & Embedded Systems group, setting technical direction, standards, and best practices.
Build and maintain project plans in collaboration with BD and PM teams, including scoping, staffing strategies, schedules, and risk assessments.
Lead resource planning and capacity management, matching team members to projects based on skills, availability, and development goals.
Conduct senior technical reviews to ensure designs meet performance, regulatory, manufacturability, and quality expectations.
Mentor and coach engineers, fostering technical growth, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement.
Perform regular check-ins, support career development, and contribute to performance management activities.
Support hiring activities, including candidate evaluation, interviews, and onboarding.

Client Engagement

Partner with Business Development to support technical scoping, feasibility assessments, and effort estimation for proposals and quotations.
Engage directly with clients to understand business objectives, functional requirements, constraints, and regulatory considerations.
Translate customer needs into high-level technical strategies and project execution plans.
Act as a senior technical representative of the consultancy, building trust with clients and supporting long-term relationships.

Technical Domains & Project Types (Oversight & Strategic Leadership)

The Manager provides senior technical oversight and guidance across projects that may include the following technologies and system types. Hands-on involvement may vary by project, but responsibility includes architecture direction, design review, and technical risk management.

Embedded Hardware & Electronics

Embedded system architecture spanning hardware, firmware, and system integration.
Analog, low-power, high-speed digital, RF, and mixed-signal circuit designs.
Schematic capture and PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad, with DFM and DFT considerations.
Component selection, supply-chain considerations, prototype builds, hardware bring-up, and verification testing.

Firmware & Embedded Software

Microcontroller-based systems (e.g., STM32, Nordic nRF, Arduino-class platforms).
Firmware development in C/C++, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
Communication protocols such as I²C, SPI, CAN, USB, Ethernet, and RS-485.
Embedded Linux systems, including configuration, driver integration, and application-level development.

Connected & IoT Systems

IoT-enabled products incorporating Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, and LoRa technologies.
System-level considerations for power management, security, reliability, and scalability.

Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

Collaboration with mechanical, automation, software, manufacturing, and external partners to deliver complete system-level solutions.
Coordination with vendors and manufacturing partners to support production readiness and lifecycle management.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
8+ years of experience in embedded systems development across full product or system lifecycles.
3+ years in a technical leadership or management role leading engineers or cross-functional teams.
Strong background in embedded hardware and firmware, with the ability to provide senior-level technical oversight and design review.
Demonstrated experience in project planning, scope definition, scheduling, and risk management.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with clients, internal teams, and external partners.
Experience in consulting, custom engineering, industrial, or product-development environments is an asset.
Candidates must be licensed, or eligible for licensure, as a Professional Engineer (or Engineer-in-Training) with Engineers Nova Scotia and maintain licensure in good standing for the duration of employment

At Venor and Enginuity, we embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, what you believe in, or who you love, we welcome your application.
