REV Robotics is a thriving company in educational robotics. Our people and their passion for STEM education (FIRST Robotics, in particular) set us apart. We are looking for people who are willing to stretch their abilities to make STEM education materials more accessible and impactful to everyone.

REV Robotics places a high value on in-person collaboration and cross-team interaction. As an in-office employer, we foster a dynamic and engaging work environment where spontaneous discussion and direct communication are encouraged as fundamental drivers of innovation. We have a relaxed and friendly office located in Carrollton, TX, just outside of Dallas.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Electrical Engineering Manager to lead our talented team of engineers in the design and development of hardware for educational robotics products. You will play a crucial role in hardware architecture definition, ensuring project success through hands‑on design, and fostering a collaborative work environment.

Salary Range: $120,000-$150,000

• Lead and manage a team of electrical engineers in the design and development of hardware for educational robotics.
• Directly contribute to projects by performing PCB design and layout (Altium) for embedded systems, digital circuits, and motor control solutions.
• Define hardware architecture, component selection, and roadmaps for products involving brushless/brushed motor control, DC power regulation, and sensor integration.
• Oversee and communicate with external design partners for high‑speed digital, wireless, and mobile products, as well as overseas contract manufacturers (CMs).
• Occasionally meeting with CMs outside of normal business hours to accommodate time‑zone differences.
• Collaborate closely with the software team to drive embedded design, ensuring hardware maximizes microcontroller features and simplifies software implementation.
• Collaborate closely with the mechanical team to ensure both mechanical and electrical requirements are balanced and met.
• Collaborate with the operations, marketing, and customer success teams to develop standard operating procedures, contribute to customer‑facing documentation, and allocate resources for tier‑2 support when needed.
• Lead hardware bring‑up efforts (initial testing of interfaces, power rails, specific features, etc.) and development of comprehensive validation plans for prototypes.
• Implement DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Test) principles. Lead the development of factory test fixtures.
• Develop and implement tight management of component libraries and bills of materials within our ERP system (Odoo).
• Guide products through compliance processes (UL, CE, FCC) by working with internal teams and external testing labs.
• Interface with the sourcing team and CMs to identify components and mitigate supply chain risks.
• Mentor and coach team members and interns, helping them develop their technical skills and careers through mentorship, constructive feedback, and performance reviews.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in an electrical engineering role.
• Hands‑on experience with FIRST® and its robotics programs.
• Proven experience in PCB design and layout using Altium Designer.
• Strong understanding of digital circuit design, DC power regulation, motor control (brushless and brushed), and embedded systems.
• Proficient with standard electrical lab equipment, including high‑speed oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, and ESD test equipment.
• Experience with hardware development life cycles, from concept and prototyping to mass production.
• Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between hardware, mechanical, software, and operations teams.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally as needed.
• Other projects or responsibilities as the need arises.

• 2+ years of experience in an engineering management or lead role.
• Basic experience with embedded C/C++ to assist in hardware‑software architecture…
