We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-focused Staff Hardware Recruiter to help scale some of the most critical engineering organizations within the company. This person will own full-cycle recruiting for complex hardware engineering functions with a particular emphasis on Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Avionics, and other highly specialized technical domains supporting next-generation aerospace and autonomous systems development.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. We are looking for someone who can operate as a true talent partner to engineering leadership — helping shape hiring strategy, influence workforce planning, drive prioritization discipline, and build scalable pipelines for some of the hardest-to-hire technical talent in the industry.

The ideal candidate thrives in high-growth, high-ambiguity environments and brings a strong track record of closing senior and niche hardware engineering talent while balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder partnership.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

    • Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized hardware engineering roles across Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems, Avionics, PCB Design, Power Distribution, RF, Systems Integration, and related technical domains

    • Partner directly with engineering leadership and hiring managers to define hiring strategy, interview processes, and prioritization plans aligned to business objectives

    • Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies for difficult-to-find technical talent across aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, energy, and adjacent industries

    • Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on market trends, talent availability, compensation competitiveness, and hiring risks

    • Drive strong operational rigor across pipeline management, funnel health, data accuracy, and stakeholder communication

    • Help influence workforce planning and ensure hiring activity remains aligned to approved business priorities

    • Improve recruiting scalability through process improvements, documentation, interview calibration, and tooling optimization

    • Deliver an exceptional candidate experience while maintaining urgency and high hiring quality standards

    • Mentor junior recruiters and sourcers while helping elevate recruiting best practices across the organization

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including significant ownership of complex hardware engineering searches
  • Proven success recruiting Electrical Engineers, Power Electronics Engineers, Embedded Hardware Engineers, Avionics Engineers, or similar technical talent

  • Strong understanding of technical hardware concepts and engineering organizational structures

  • Experience partnering with senior engineering leadership in fast-paced or high-growth environments

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously while maintaining strong hiring outcomes

  • Strong sourcing and market-mapping capabilities across highly competitive technical domains

  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and operational execution skills

  • Experience using ATS systems, sourcing platforms, and recruiting analytics to drive decisions and pipeline visibility

  • Ability to operate strategically while remaining highly execution-oriented

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

    • Experience recruiting within aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, energy, or other highly technical industries

    • Familiarity with hardware development lifecycle concepts, embedded systems, power systems, avionics, or electromechanical integration

    • Experience supporting hiring at scale during periods of rapid organizational growth

    • Experience influencing workforce planning, prioritization, or recruiting operations initiatives

     
Full-time regular employee offer package:
Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
 
Temporary employee offer package:
Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
 
Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location.
