Associate Software Developer Jobs in Euclid, OH (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Swagelok is a global organization and one of the largest employers of manufacturing talent in Northeast Ohio. They are seeking an Electronics Engineering Manager to lead their Electronics Engineering team, managing a multidisciplinary group of engineers focused on developing and sustaining connected-product capabilities. The role involves overseeing project portfolios, improving development processes, and collaborating with various teams to ensure product strategy aligns with engineering capabilities.
Responsibilities:
• Lead, develop, and retain a multidisciplinary team of firmware, software, hardware, and quality engineers; set clear performance expectations, provide ongoing coaching, and build succession depth as the team grows.
• Establish, document, and continuously improve the electronics and embedded software development process — including engineering standards, design reviews, tooling, version control, build and release flows, traceability, and verification practices.
• Direct the team’s project portfolio, balancing new product development (NPD) commitments with sustaining engineering work and long-lifecycle product support, including planning and release of Linux security and software updates for fielded products.
• Provide technical leadership and credible challenge to the team across firmware, embedded Linux / single-board computers (SBCs), application and cloud software, and hardware/electrical design — pairing on architecture, reviewing key design decisions, and elevating the technical bar without taking over individual contributor work.
• Apply cost-versus-impact thinking to prioritize investments across NPD, sustaining, and platform work; communicate trade-offs and the business value of technical decisions to senior leadership.
• Partner with Product Management, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and customer-facing teams to translate product strategy and customer needs into clear technical roadmaps and committed deliverables.
• Support customers during key product installations, escalations, and field issues; ensure the team is equipped to resolve complex technical problems on installed and connected products.
• Plan headcount and capability growth as the function scales from its current size toward a larger multi-discipline organization, including future addition of systems engineering, architecture, and additional software, firmware, hardware, and quality roles.
• Manage department operating budget including planning, tracking variances, identifying cost-reduction opportunities, and overseeing capital and tooling investments.
• Drive talent development through structured individual development plans, mentoring, and targeted training; actively engage in succession planning and external talent attraction.
• Communicate departmental project status, technical risks, resource needs, and strategic priorities to senior leadership through regular reporting and presentations.
• As a leader, you are expected to know, enforce, and appropriately escalate all Swagelok associate policies.
• Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field required; Master’s degree preferred. Or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Minimum 10 years of progressive experience in electronics, embedded systems, or product software engineering, including delivery of shipping products.
• Minimum 2–5 years of experience in a formal leadership role managing engineers or technical professionals.
• Demonstrated technical depth in at least one or two of the following, with working knowledge and architectural fluency in the others: embedded firmware and real-time operating systems (RTOS); embedded Linux and single-board computers (SBCs), including long-lifecycle maintenance and security patching; application and cloud software, including DevOps and CI/CD; and hardware and electrical design, including printed circuit board (PCB) development and electronics manufacturing handoff.
• Proven track record of standing up or substantially improving an engineering process or function — for example, introducing development standards, design review practices, release management, or quality and traceability systems in a regulated or industrial product environment.
• Experience managing both new product development and long-lifecycle sustaining engineering simultaneously, ideally in industrial, instrumentation, medical device, automotive/aerospace, or connected-product environments.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity practices for connected and Linux-based products, including software update strategies, vulnerability response, and secure software development lifecycle, preferred.
• Knowledge of Swagelok products, fluid system components, semiconductor, or oil/gas/chemical applications preferred.
