Summary

Software Engineering Manager / Technical Lead (Embedded Systems)
Location: Wilmington, NC (Onsite - 5 days/week)

A growing manufacturing organization on the North Carolina coast is seeking a hands?on Software Engineering Manager to lead a small embedded software team. This role is best suited for someone who still enjoys being deep in the code while also guiding and mentoring engineers.

This is not a heavily administrative management role. Instead, it functions as a technical lead position with meaningful ownership of architecture, development, and problem?solving, paired with gradual people?leadership responsibilities.
What You'll Do

Act as the technical lead for a tight?knit embedded software team
Spend the majority of your time writing, debugging, and reviewing code
Provide technical guidance and support, especially around complex debugging challenges
Collaborate closely with hardware and cross?functional teams
Help coordinate work across a mix of full?time and contract engineers
Participate in some client?facing technical discussions
Contribute to designs that go from concept to real?world deployment

Team & Role Structure

Lead a team of ~5 embedded engineers
Blend of onsite full?time engineers and contractors
Strong collaboration with in?house hardware teams
Opportunity to grow into broader people leadership over time (no need to be a seasoned manager on day one)

Ideal Background

Strong foundation in embedded software development
Experience working in OS?based embedded environments
Comfortable operating as a technical leader or senior lead engineer
Background in manufacturing or contract manufacturing environments is a plus
Roughly 10+ years of relevant experience preferred, but flexibility for the right profile

Technical Stack (Not All Required)

Embedded Linux and/or Windows Embedded
C, C++, and/or Python
System?level debugging and problem?solving experience

Why This Role

High impact, hands?on technical work
Products and solutions are built and deployed, not theoretical
Long?term growth opportunity within a stable manufacturing environment
Onsite office close to downtown Wilmington, NC

Compensation

Competitive and flexible, based on experience
Target range: $120,000-$140,000
