Position Summary: 
The Manager of Hardware Service Delivery runs Cadwell's hardware repair and preventative maintenance operation as a service business, with full accountability for throughput, turnaround time, SLA performance, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction. This is an operations leadership role first. The team's technical depth is provided by an experienced Lead Service Engineer; this manager's value is in building the systems, processes, and accountability structures that allow that technical expertise to scale reliably.

As a member of Cadwell's Service Leadership Team, this manager collaborates across Product Management, Engineering, and peer Service Delivery functions to align operational capabilities with company goals and customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee and lead end-to-end service operations, ensuring KPIs such as repair turn times, throughput, SLA, first-time-fix rates, and costs per repair are met or exceeded.
  • Manage resource utilization day-to-day while leading longer-term capacity planning and staffing decisions.
  • Manage the escalation of operational customer issues.
  • Manage the team's annual expense budget with ownership of service unit economics: labor utilization, parts spend, cost per repair, and service margins.
  • Oversee service parts inventory to minimize repair delays.
  • Oversee service invoicing, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with contract terms and repair records.
  • Oversee continuous improvement through documentation, SOPs, work instructions, and operational protocols. Extend standards to field-based team members and international distributors as needed.
  • Oversee process improvement initiatives using lean or equivalent methodologies to reduce cycle times, eliminate waste, and improve throughput.
  • Partner with Product Management and Hardware Engineering to ensure operational readiness ahead of new product releases; serve as the operational representative in engineering change orders (ECOs) throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Partner with the Technical Lead to identify skill gaps; own the resulting development and training plans.

  • Thorough knowledge of lean, continuous improvement, or operational excellence methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
  • Working knowledge of regulatory and quality standards applicable to service operations in a regulated industry (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA, MDR).
  • Ability to lead a technically deep team without being the technical expert; earns credibility through sound operational leadership and decision-making.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
