Job description

Hardware Engineering Manager
This role has been designed as 'Hybrid' with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.
Who We Are:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company advancing the way people live and work. We help companies connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications wherever they live, from edge to cloud, so they can turn insights into outcomes at the speed required to thrive in today's complex world. Our culture thrives on finding new and better ways to accelerate what's next. We know varied backgrounds are valued and succeed here. We have the flexibility to manage our work and personal needs. We make bold moves, together, and are a force for good. If you are looking to stretch and grow your career our culture will embrace you. Open up opportunities with HPE.
Job Description:
At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Hardware Engineering Managers sit at the intersection of technical leadership, people management, and product delivery. This role is ideal for a seasoned hardware professional who has grown from deep technical expertise into a leader capable of guiding teams, aligning stakeholders, and delivering complex hardware programs at scale.
HPE is a global technology leader built on innovation, trust, and engineering excellence. We empower our managers with meaningful ownership-of teams, execution, quality, and outcomes-while working alongside some of the industry's strongest technical talent.
Why HPE Networking?
HPE Networking is one of our fastest-growing and most strategic businesses, delivering open, standards-based networking solutions across Branch, Campus, and Data Center environments worldwide. Our platforms support customers ranging from growing enterprises to the world's largest hyperscalers.
As a Hardware Engineering Manager, you will lead teams developing complex, high-performance networking hardware, ensuring technical excellence while driving predictable execution from concept through mass production.
HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT
As a Hardware Engineering Manager, you will lead and develop a team of hardware engineers while owning execution of hardware R&D programs across the full product lifecycle.
You will:
  • Provide technical and execution leadership for hardware R&D programs, working in close partnership with domain experts and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Translate business and product strategy into clear hardware development goals, execution plans, and deliverables across the full product lifecycle
  • Plan and manage resources, priorities, and timelines from product conception through mass production, ensuring alignment with program commitments
  • Identify technical, schedule, cost, and resource risks early; establish and execute mitigation and contingency plans to minimize impact
  • Develop, manage, and track project budgets and schedules; forecast milestones and completion dates, and proactively address threats to on-time and on-budget delivery
  • Lead execution across organizational boundaries, collaborating effectively with system architecture, firmware, supply chain, and program management teams to ensure total project success
  • Ensure design quality through structured design reviews, margin analysis, validation planning, and hands-on technical oversight
  • Build, lead, and develop high-performing hardware engineering teams through effective performance management, coaching, and talent development
  • Support hiring, onboarding, performance management, and succession planning for the team
  • Communicate clearly and regularly with engineering and business leadership by presenting project status, risks, trade-offs, and progress updates through reviews and management presentations

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Balanced role combining people leadership and deep technical ownership
  • Direct impact on high-performance networking platforms deployed globally
  • Opportunity to lead and grow senior and principal-level engineers
  • Strong influence over execution quality, schedules, and delivery outcomes
  • Culture that values engineering rigor, mentorship, and long-term growth

About You
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline
  • People-centric leader with a passion for mentoring, coaching, and developing engineers at all career stages
  • Proven ability to build, grow, and sustain high-performing, collaborative teams, including across global or multi-site environments
  • Demonstrated success in creating clear development plans, providing actionable feedback, and strengthening technical depth and leadership capability within teams
  • Strong execution mindset, with experience prioritizing work, aligning resources, and managing risk to deliver consistent results
  • Solid blend of technical depth and business judgment, enabling effective decision-making and trade-off discussions
  • Trusted technical leader who influences design direction, engineering standards, and team practices beyond a single project
  • Practical understanding of high-speed hardware design, including signal integrity, power integrity, and system-level performance

Additional Preferred Abilities
  • Strong cross-organizational influence and stakeholder partnership skills
  • Confident, autonomous decision-maker with a balanced people-and-delivery mindset
  • Clear, persuasive communicator capable of influencing at all levels
  • Passion for coaching, talent development, and long-term team growth

Additional Skills:
Accountability, Accountability, Action Planning, Active Learning, Active Listening, Agile Methodology, Agile Scrum Development, Analytical Thinking, Bias, Coaching, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Cross-Functional Teamwork, Data Analysis Management, Data Collection Management (비활성), Data Controls, Design, Design Thinking, Empathy, Follow-Through, Group Problem Solving, Growth Mindset, Intellectual Curiosity (비활성), Long Term Planning, Managing Ambiguity {자세히(5)}
