Software Engineering Manager

Lenexa, KS or Wichita, KS

 

Position Summary:   

The Engineering Manager is the heartbeat of the technical organization. You are responsible for the mandates of Organization productivity, Talent Density, and Delivery Predictability. While our Engineering Leads (ELs) own the "Technical Truth" including architecture, performance, reliability, and scalability, you own the "Execution Engine." You will manage the people and the processes that allow weavix to ship high-quality, ruggedized industrial solutions across the entire stack (Firmware, Cloud, Mobile, and Data). 

You are the primary partner to the Product Manager (PM), ensuring that roadmap ambitions are translated into realistic, data-driven delivery schedules. You shield the team from distractions while ensuring that every "fire drill" or "injection" is managed with transparency and clear trade-offs. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities 

People Management & Talent Strategy 

  • Direct Leadership: Manage a team of 8–12 engineers across Cloud, Mobile, and Data pods. 
  • Performance Excellence: Conduct regular 1:1s, quarterly performance reviews, and handle all administrative duties (career pathing, compensation, and PIPs). 
  • Talent Growth: Partner with ELs to identify technical skill gaps and create growth plans to elevate engineers from "contributor" to "expert." 
  • Recruiting & Onboarding: Own the hiring funnel for engineering talent. Define interview rubrics, conduct final culture-fit screens, and ensure new hires are productive within their first 30 days. 

Delivery & Operational Excellence 

  • Process Authority: Own and facilitate the SDLC and all Scrum ceremonies (Stand-ups, Planning, Retros). You ensure the "heartbeat" of the team is consistent across all stacks. 
  • Jira/Board Integrity: Maintain absolute "Source of Truth" accuracy for the engineering backlog. You provide the data-driven "When" for every feature. 
  • PM Support & Roadmap Sync: Partner with the PM to turn the "Product Why" into a "Delivery How." You are responsible for identifying resource bottlenecks before they delay a milestone. 
  • Integrated Release Coordination: Manage the dependencies between the "Walt" Smart Radio firmware releases and the corresponding Cloud/Mobile updates. 

Disruption & Maintenance Management 

  • Injection Gatekeeping: Act as the first line of defense for unplanned requests. Conduct impact analyses for every "injection" and force the explicit trade-off conversation with the CPO and PM. 
  • Fire Drill Command: Serve as the Operational Lead during P0/P1 incidents. Manage stakeholder communication so ELs can focus exclusively on technical remediation. 
  • Tech Debt Advocacy: Protect and schedule the "Tech Debt Tax" (15–20% of capacity) to ensure the long-term stability of our HaaS platform. 

Minimum Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Required 

Technical Context & Experience 

  • Management Tenure: 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated people-management role (8+ direct reports) within a high-growth startup environment. 
  • Multi-Stack Exposure: Prior experience in an environment that bridges Hardware and Software. You must understand the lifecycle differences between firmware deployments and cloud-native "push-to-prod" workflows. 
  • Operational Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Jira or Linear. You must be able to generate velocity charts, burn-down reports, and capacity models that a CPO can use for Series C board reporting. 

Leadership Competencies 

  • The "Clear Path" Facilitator: Proven ability to support a Product Manager by translating technical complexity into business-level risk and timeline data. 
  • Conflict Resolution: Ability to navigate "brutally honest" trade-off conversations between ELs (who want technical perfection) and PMs (who want roadmap speed). 
  • Systems Thinking: Ability to visualize dependencies across Cloud, Mobile, and Device pods to prevent "siloed" shipping that breaks integrated features. 
  • Crisis Management: A "cool head" during fire drills—capable of managing high-stress war rooms without diving into the code yourself. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience in Industrial/Frontline sectors (Construction, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas). 
  • Background in HaaS (Hardware-as-a-Service) business models. 
  • Experience scaling a team from Series B to Series C or beyond.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

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.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

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.
