Vice President, Hardware Engineering Position Summary At Miovision, we are engineering the physical foundation of smart transportation, and we are looking for a visionary Vice President of Hardware Engineering to take the wheel during a pivotal growth inflection. Leading a 40-person multi-disciplinary organization, you will act as the master traffic controller for our entire hardware division—directing strategy, roadmaps, delivery, quality, and budget. Your mission is to execute on three parallel lanes without hitting a bottleneck: ensuring stability in predictable delivery, accelerating scalability as manufacturing volume ramps up, and driving strategic innovation to keep us miles ahead of the market. As the executive voice of hardware, you will ensure our physical products merge seamlessly with our software capabilities, bypassing gridlock and arriving to customers as a complete, market-leading offering. If you are ready to accelerate our hardware vision and keep our next-generation technology cruising in the fast lane, green means go! Objectives and Responsibilities: Strategic Executive Leadership: Own the multi-year hardware strategy, functional budget, and product roadmap, serving as the definitive voice for hardware at the executive table. Predictable Delivery (Stability): Champion on-time, at-quality, and at-volume delivery across all concurrent programs, safeguarding critical launch and certification commitments. Scalable Operations: Scale the organization, operating models, and manufacturing capabilities to support massive volume ramps without sacrificing an ounce of quality. Innovation & Alignment: Partner with Product, Software Engineering, and Advanced Development to align roadmaps, ensuring hardware innovations land perfectly with the software and go-to-market strategies they depend on. Decisive Action: Act as the ultimate escalation point for the function, setting clear priorities and making tough cross-program trade-off decisions when faced with ambiguity. Strategic Partnerships: Own and nurture executive-level relationships with contract manufacturers (CMs) and strategic suppliers, working in lockstep with our Operations team. AI-Powered Engineering: Champion AI-enabled ways of working across design, verification, BOM analysis, and program management, empowering the team to deliver outsized impact as the organization scales. Talent & Rhythms: Design the ultimate talent strategy—hiring, leveling, and succession planning for senior leaders—while establishing a rigorous operating rhythm for program reviews and delivery metrics. The Ideal Profile: You bring extensive experience in hardware product development, where you've also spent time successfully leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams (electrical, firmware, mechanical, quality). You have a proven track record of leading a hardware organization through a significant business growth phase or massive volume inflection. You have successfully shipped complex, connected hardware through full New Product Introduction (NPI) cycles directly into high-volume production, including deep experience managing CMs and ODMs. You remain highly decisive when faced with ambiguity and wield exceptional executive communication skills to influence cross-functional stakeholders from the engineering floor to the boardroom. You are a passionate developer of senior leaders, adept at building resilient organizational structures and mapping out both management and principal individual contributor career tracks. You possess strong fluency and genuine excitement for applying modern AI tools to optimize and accelerate hardware engineering workflows. Your Rewards & Well-being: We invest in our team with benefits designed for modern life and true work-life balance. Comprehensive Coverage: Your well-being is covered from day one with comprehensive health benefits, 24/7 virtual healthcare access, and dedicated wellness programs. Financial Future: Build for tomorrow with our RRSP/401K Matching Plan and share in the company's success through our Variable Incentive Plan.
