Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing technical team building mission-critical radar software systems. The company develops compact solid-state beam-steering radar technology for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft, border security, critical infrastructure protection, and smart cities.
In this role, you will directly manage and grow a technical team, owning the full software delivery lifecycle from requirements through design, execution, and customer delivery. You'll shepherd system innovation for real-world edge deployment environments, ensuring security, reliability, and high performance. A key responsibility is connecting with field users to integrate their feedback into the technical roadmap, ensuring software meets strict operational commitments.
You will report to the VP of Software & Firmware Engineering and work cross-functionally with hardware, research, and data science teams to deliver integrated solutions.

You need a strong technical foundation with familiarity in modern languages and frameworks (Rust, React, Python) and deep understanding of software architecture spanning front-end, middleware, and complex external system integrations. Experience building and scaling highly available, mission-critical systems is essential, along with a customer-centric delivery mindset and commitment to operational excellence.
Desired experience includes hiring excellence in rapid-growth or R&D environments, strategic execution with high autonomy, cross-functional leadership across diverse disciplines, and an impact-driven, low-ego, high-ownership approach.
