Manager, Systems Engineering

About the role

Shure is hiring a Technical Manager to lead engineering across the professional wireless systems used on stages, in studios, and in front of every microphone that matters. You will report to the Director of Systems Engineering in a hands‑on management position, setting technical direction, making architecture, scope, and integration calls, and being accountable for delivery across both the Events and Content teams. This is a hybrid role based out of Shure’s Niles, IL headquarters.

Responsibilities

• Manage, coach, and develop engineers across the Events and Content teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
• Own delivery commitments for both teams — scope, schedule, and quality — and escalate risk early with a recommended path, not just a flag.
• Set and defend technical direction: requirement scope, architecture decisions, integration approaches, platform and tooling choices, and the trade‑offs behind them.
• Serve as the technical decision owner where the two teams' work overlaps.
• Partner with product, program management, and peer engineering teams to translate roadmap commitments into staffed, sequenced work.
• Review designs and code at a depth sufficient to catch integration and reliability problems before they reach test.
• Work alongside the outgoing ENC Large manager through 2026–2027 to absorb that team's roadmap, customer commitments, systems, and staff.
• Maintain and improve engineering practices across both teams — design review, test strategy, release process, on‑call or support rotations as applicable.
• Represent both teams in cross‑functional planning, architecture review, and resourcing discussions at the department level.
• Build succession depth on your own teams: identify and develop technical leads so the same single‑point dependency does not recur.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of management experience.
• Minimum 7 years of engineering experience in one or more of the following disciplines: software development, electrical engineering, or systems architecture.
• Proven ability to work effectively within a cross‑functional team environment.
• Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills, including experience developing and delivering technical information in presentations.
• Uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective ways.
• Demonstrated ability to work on complex assignments where analysis of situations or data requires an in‑depth evaluation of variable factors.
• Exercises good judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.
• Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full‑time basis; Shure will not sponsor work visas for this position.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare.
• Mental health support.
• Retirement savings plans.
• Generous paid time off programs.
• Employee discounts.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Work‑life balance initiatives.
• Employee recognition programs.
• Volunteering and community involvement opportunities.

Pay

The base salary for this position ranges from $128,100 to $217,800, with a midpoint target. The role may also be eligible for Shure’s incentive pay program, which varies based on individual and company performance.
