Cpe Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This role requires the ability to work lawfully in the U.S. without employment-based immigration sponsorship, now or in the future.

Do you thrive in leading the senior technical talent that shapes what shows up in millions of customers' homes? As Senior Director, CPE Enablement Architecture at Spectrum, you'll lead a team of Principal Architects and Engineers driving new product introduction and reliability improvements across DOCSIS, PON, and WiFi customer premises equipment. You'll own the operating rhythm of the team - people development, portfolio visibility, and cross-organizational delivery - and represent CPE Enablement in the rooms where Spectrum's high-speed data product direction is formed. Every day, your leadership will determine how quickly new CPE technology reaches customers and how well it performs once it's there.

This is a leadership role, not a technical contributor role. The team already holds deep domain expertise. Your job is to lead them, keep complex work moving across a demanding organizational landscape, and make sure their output lands - in delivery teams, in product roadmaps, and in customers' hands.

How You’ll Make an Impact 

• Lead and develop a team of 10+ Principal Architects and Engineers (levels I-III) - 1:1s, goal setting, performance calibration, and active career development for veteran senior individual contributors
• Own the New Product Introduction pipeline end to end across DOCSIS, PON, and WiFi CPE: vendor engagement, design readiness, lab validation coordination, and handoff quality
• Maintain real-time awareness of every active NPI and reliability workstream, advancing projects from design through delivery-team handoff on schedule and without surprises
•  Serve as the accountable partner between CPE Enablement and executive leadership, delivery teams, partner engineering, product, and software development organizations - removing friction at org boundaries rather than escalating it
• Partner with Portfolio Management to keep priorities aligned to current technical realities, emerging risk, and delivery capacity, surfacing conflicts before they become escalations
• Advise executive leadership on CPE technology direction, product strategy, and reliability investment, translating complex technical work into clear, prioritized, decision-ready narratives
• Partner with Product in structured ideation sessions to shape the next generation of CPE products, bringing the team's technical insight forward into product strategy
• Direct quality standards for design documentation and handoff, ensuring delivery teams receive work that is complete, well-communicated, and ready to execute
• Manage the team's operating and capital budget and execute approved financial plans
• Lead succession planning and contribute to the growth of the broader CPE engineering organization

Working Conditions 

• Office environment
• Varying schedules within a 24 x 7 network operations setting
• Exposure to moderate noise levels
• Travel required
