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).\nEchodyne is seeking a Software Engineering Manager, Data Platform, to join our fast-growing team. \nWho You Are \nOur Data Platform connects sensors and radars through EchoWare to cloud services and internal data systems. As Engineering Manager, Data Platform, you will lead the team responsible for building and operating the services, data flows, and interfaces that connect these environments. The team will securely move operational radar data into Echodyne’s data platform and turn those capabilities into reusable services that support products and teams across the company. \nYou stay close to the technology, understand the tradeoffs being made, ask the right questions, and use your experience to support and vet important technical decisions. You create the conditions for engineers and technical leads to own detailed architecture and implementation while ensuring decisions are pragmatic, technically sound, and aligned with business needs. \nYou have experience building cloud and distributed systems from the ground up and understand that successful 0 → 1 development requires deliberate choices about what must be built now, what needs a strong foundation, and what can reasonably wait. \nYou are a strategic thinker who can use the systems being built today as a beachhead for broader services, capabilities, and product opportunities over time. \nYou are also a team builder and strong cross-functional partner, comfortable leading work across edge and cloud environments and collaborating closely with Analytics, Research, Product, and other engineering teams. \nRequired Experience \n5+ years managing engineering teams, including hiring, developing talent, setting priorities, and driving accountability. \nProven experience building new systems, platforms, or products from the ground up in environments where requirements and architecture were still evolving. \nStrong understanding of edge computing and cloud platforms, with practical experience building production services, APIs, distributed systems, and data pipelines, particularly for data-intensive systems with real-time delivery requirements. \nComfortable evaluating architecture and design choices, identifying risks and unnecessary complexity, and helping teams make pragmatic technical decisions. \nExperience building shared platforms, APIs, or services that other engineering teams depend on. \nStrong understanding of operating production services, including reliability, availability, SLAs or SLOs, deployment, observability, and incident response. \nWhat Sets You Apart \nYou have a strong track record of hiring and developing the talent needed to build and operate complex systems. \nYou have built cloud and distributed systems from the ground up and know how to balance immediate needs with longer-term platform foundations. \nYou have the technical depth and judgment to guide, challenge, and vet important engineering decisions. \nYou are comfortable leading teams that build processing capabilities at the edge and services in the cloud, and can guide delivery across the boundary between them. \nYou think strategically about how today’s platform can become the foundation for broader services and capabilities. \nYou bring a strong security mindset to system design, including authentication and device identity, encryption, access controls, tenant isolation, auditability, and the handling of sensitive customer data. \nYou are naturally inclined to lead with action, thrive in ambiguity, and drive the team toward clarity and execution while maintaining strong strategic alignment. \nWhat You Do \nHire, develop, and organize the talent needed to deliver across edge and cloud systems. \nStay close to the technology, guide key design decisions, identify risks, and help the team make sound technical choices. \nTurn broad product and business goals into clear technical priorities, balancing immediate needs with longer-term platform investments. \nLead delivery of cohesive systems spanning edge processing, cloud services, and the interfaces between them. \nDeliver reliable shared services that other teams can depend on, with clear ownership and operational expectations. \nUse today’s platform as the foundation for future services, capabilities, and product expansion. \nEstablish clear priorities, accountability, engineering practices, and operational maturity as the team grows. \nEchodyne’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. \nWHAT WE OFFER\nThis is an exempt role.\nThe expected annual salary range for this role is\n$164,594—$246,788 USD\nIf your skills generally align but not perfectly, please apply anyway.
