Establish and enforce rigorous design practices including worst-case circuit analysis, component derating, and DFM/DFT/DFR to ensure hardware is reliable and producible at volume
Serve as the final technical sign-off authority on all major design decisions, design reviews, V&V plans, and product releases
Mentor and guide electrical engineers across all levels, building technical excellence and raising the standard of hardware practice within the team
Work with stakeholders and management to define system requirements, validate technical feasibility, and shape the hardware roadmap
Provide expert-level technical leadership on complex, multi-disciplinary problems across the organization
Communicate architectural vision and design decisions through clear documentation, design reviews, and presentations to technical and executive audiences
You should have the following
10+ years of distinguished experience in electrical hardware design, with deep expertise in high-speed digital design and embedded systems
Demonstrated track record of taking products from concept through high-volume production, with hands-on ownership at each stage of the hardware development lifecycle
Expert-level proficiency in schematic capture (Altium preferred) with a history of producing and reviewing complex, multi-domain designs
Mastery of PCB layout principles for high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal systems, with proven ability to guide layout to meet stringent SI/PI and EMC requirements
Worst-case circuit analysis and design margin methodology practiced as a standard part of the design process
Recognized expert in at least one relevant technical domain: power electronics, RF/wireless design, high-speed digital design, or embedded systems architecture
Proven experience defining system architecture from requirements and executing through to production hardware
Fluency with high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, USB 3.x, LVDS, SerDes) and the signal integrity considerations that govern them
Experience with DFM, DFT, and EMC/EMI as practiced disciplines with a record of shipping reliable hardware at volume
