The posting

Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.

Efficient is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Architecture team from both a people and delivery perspective. You will partner with technical leads to set priorities, align roadmaps, and drive execution across key engineering initiatives. This role owns the team's operational cadence, including sprint planning, backlog management, project tracking, and cross-functional coordination to ensure projects are delivered on time.

In addition to project execution, you will be responsible for people leadership, including coaching, performance management, hiring, and team development. You will also work with external engineering partners and vendors to coordinate deliverables and augment internal development efforts.

If you're passionate about building high-performing teams and driving execution in a fast-paced engineering environment, this is an opportunity to help shape the next generation of energy-efficient processors.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing and developing the engineering team by:
  • Conducting regular 1:1 meetings with team members to offer constructive feedback
  • Creating growth plans with key performance indicators for each team member
  • Measuring and tracking the performance of team members
  • Being instrumental in the hiring process, screening résumés and conducting interviews
  • Planning and tracking the work of the architecture team, including:
  • Working closely with technical leads to prioritize work and set roadmaps based on business requirements from the Product, Sales and Marketing teams
  • Creating sprint plans and retrospectives
  • Managing day-to-day operations, including conducting scrum/standup meetings
  • Creating, rescoping, prioritizing and generally keeping track of tasks
  • Engaging with external vendors/partners to augment internal engineering efforts by:
  • Developing clear statements of work
  • Conducting frequent alignment meetings
  • Tracking the progress of external contractors

About the Architecture Team

The Architecture team drives the design of all of Efficient’s technology, from compilers through hardware, translating product goals into technical specifications. With inputs from other teams and in-house simulation tools, they conduct rapid design explorations to find Pareto-optimal architectures that balance efficiency, performance, and area.

Required Qualifications & Experience Requirements

  • Must be an excellent manager with 5+ years of post-graduate experience
  • Prior experience leading projects and scaling teams for growth
  • Adept at project management: sprint planning, issue tracking, etc
  • Flexible and effective in managing rapidly evolving team priorities and focus
  • Must have background in computer architecture or an adjacent discipline, and familiarity with the technical problems and solutions in the field
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field;
  • Experience working with outside vendors to deliver key engineering products
  • Outstanding communication skills and a strong attention to detail

We offer a competitive base salary for this role, generally ranging from $200,000 to $260,000, plus a 10% annual bonus, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits. Final compensation will depend on experience, level, and location, with flexibility for the right candidate.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
