Director of Hardware Engineering

Are you passionate about building the future of EV charging hardware? Do you thrive in a fast-paced startup, leading teams to design next-gen products?

We're looking for a Director of Hardware Engineering to drive innovation in our AC/DC chargers, POS terminals, and networking hardware. Join us as we accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation!

Why Loop Global?

We’re a rapidly growing EV charging startup backed by top investors, committed to making charging seamless and reliable. Our network already powers 7,500+ chargers and you’ll help us scale to tens of thousands more.

What You’ll Do

You’ll lead a small but mighty team and have a direct impact on our roadmap, culture, and growth.

Lead & Inspire: Build, mentor, and scale our hardware engineering team. Cultivate a culture of creativity, accountability, and technical excellence.

Own Product Development: From concept sketch to production line—drive the full lifecycle of AC/DC charging stations, POS devices, and network modules.

Design for Tomorrow: Champion embedded Linux/Android systems, EV protocols (OCPP 1.6/2.0.1, DIN SPEC, ISO 15118), HMI design, plus NFC/Bluetooth mobile integrations.

Collaborate & Innovate: Work hand-in-hand with software, product, QA, and contract manufacturers to deliver robust, scalable solutions on tight timelines.

Build Auxiliaries: Provide oversight on pedestals, cable retractors, and other supporting equipment that make our chargers stand out in the field.

Drive Strategy: Scout emerging tech (advanced NFC/Bluetooth, cybersecurity for networked hardware) and set our hardware roadmap for years to come.

Who You Are

Seasoned Leader: 10+ years in hardware engineering, with at least 5 years leading high-impact teams bonus if you’ve shipped EV charging hardware or POS/networking devices.

Technical Guru: Deep expertise in embedded systems (Linux/Android), power electronics, digital design, and EV charging standards (OCPP, ISO 15118). Hands-on with Altium/Cadence and DFT/DFM best practices.

Startup Mentality: You move quickly, adapt on the fly, and can juggle multiple priorities without missing a beat.

Excellent Communicator: You effortlessly translate complex hardware challenges to both engineers and execs, align stakeholders, and drive consensus.

Collaborative Partner: Experience working with contract manufacturers, OEMs, and cross-functional teams to launch hardware at scale.
