Full Job Description
Your Impact

As a member of the Video Electrical Engineering Sustaining team, you will play a key role in maintaining, debugging, qualifying, and improving the electronics designs behind Axon's in-market video products. This includes wirelessly connected body-worn cameras, in-vehicle camera systems, high-speed docking stations, and other mass-produced devices. Your technical expertise, engineering process knowledge, and hands-on design and debug skills will be essential to sustaining product continuity by addressing component obsolescence, facilitating design improvements, resolving critical field and production issues, and supporting regulatory testing needed to maintain global certifications or enable entry into new markets.

In this role, you will own design improvement activities while collaborating across cross-functional teams and global partners to help maintain truly world-class products. You will join a passionate engineering team devoted to solving complex challenges and delivering technologies that make a meaningful difference for Law Enforcement, Public Safety, and the communities they serve.

Your Day-to-Day
  • Update in-market circuit designs to address component obsolescence, approved component substitutions, second-source requests, cost reduction opportunities, and other post-launch design improvements for mass-produced electronics.
  • Partner with cross-functional engineering teams, technology partners, and manufacturing teams to own electronics sustainment throughout the post-launch product lifecycle.
  • Execute bench verification and performance evaluation of components and circuits using standard laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and power supplies.
  • Perform hands-on debug, failure analysis, and rework of electronic systems, circuits, and components.
  • Use OrCAD Capture and related design tools to update embedded mixed-signal circuit designs for complex electronic products, including processors, sensors, memory, power, audio, RF, and PCB assemblies.
  • Work closely with PCB design engineers to define, implement, review, and release PCB layout updates using Allegro or similar layout tools.
  • Test and evaluate baseline RF performance of wireless subsystems, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS, in assigned in-market products.
  • Develop test methods, execute system- and component-level verification, and drive test plans to validate electronic design changes.
  • Document design changes, test results, and technical conclusions, and communicate findings clearly to design teams and management.
  • Provide hardware support to global regulatory compliance teams, including sample preparation, documentation, and debug, for certifications such as FCC, IC, CE, and PTCRB.
  • Update, review, and finalize BOMs and other design documentation to support engineering changes and production release.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • 4+ years of industry experience in electronics design or sustaining engineering for mass-produced, high-speed, high-density, portable battery-powered embedded devices or vehicular embedded electronics.
  • Experience identifying and implementing alternate-source electronic components and related circuit changes to improve product quality, address obsolescence, and reduce supply chain risk in production hardware.
  • Experience executing engineering change orders, including updates to BOMs, schematics, and PCB layouts.
  • Well-developed foundation in analog and digital circuit design.
  • Experience with component selection, circuit design, and verification testing in multiple areas such as power supplies, processors and microcontrollers, memory subsystems, wired interfaces, audio, RF subsystems, sensors, protection circuitry, connectors, batteries, and PCBAs/flex PCBAs.
  • Experience with high-speed design and validation for hardware interfaces such as USB 3.x, Ethernet, RF, and DDR memory.
  • Working knowledge of RF integration and test for Bluetooth, BLE, Wi-Fi, GNSS, and cellular systems.
  • Strong hands-on lab skills for board bring-up, characterization, debug, and failure analysis using standard electrical engineering lab equipment.
  • Proficiency with schematic capture and BOM development using industry-standard tools; Cadence/OrCAD preferred.
  • Experience collaborating with PCB layout engineers to inspect, optimize, and release designs to fabrication; Allegro Viewer experience is a plus.
  • Experience supporting regulatory compliance testing and debug for standards such as FCC, CE, and PTCRB.
  • Ability to create test plans to validate component and circuit-level changes.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously in cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documentation, analysis, and presentation development.
Benefits that Benefit You
