A Engineer IV, Electrical to drive the design, validation, and production-grade deployment of our next-generation hardware platforms. In this role, you will bridge the gap between experimental R&D prototypes and scalable, mass-producible systems designed for rugged, real-world environments. You are a highly technical, hands-on engineer with a passion for end-to-end hardware development-from conceptual design, schematic capture, and high-speed PCB layout to laboratory testing, firmware integration, and manufacturing scale-up. You will work cross-functionally with systems, mechanical, firmware, and safety teams to deliver robust, high-performance, and secure hardware architectures.
What you will do:- Lead the hardware lifecycle from concept, schematic capture, and PCB layout/routing to high-volume manufacturing hand-off.
- Decompose system-level product requirements into testable component and subsystem specifications covering compute, sensing, communication, and power distribution.
- Optimize and ruggedize early-stage prototypes, ensuring experimental hardware is redesigned for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), reliability, and cost-efficiency.
- Build out test frameworks, write test plans, and lead bring-up, debugging, and validation campaigns using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Partner closely with Mechanical Engineers on packaging, thermal management, and ingress protection (IP) for high-vibration and extreme-temperature environments. Coordinate with Firmware and Software teams to align on timing budgets, register maps, and peripheral interfaces.
- Package and integrate high-performance edge compute modules (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) with multiple sensing modalities (cameras, LiDAR, radar, IMUs).
- Lead root-cause analysis for cross-domain hardware failures surfaced during bring-up, environmental testing, or field operation, and feed findings back into the design loop.
- Oversee manufacturing partners, direct the fabrication of prototypes, and troubleshoot assembly line issues to ensure high-quality yield.
What you will need:- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent technical field.
- 8+ years of professional experience in hardware engineering, taking complex electronic systems from concept through mass-production (EVT, DVT, PVT, SOP).
- Extensive experience with industry-standard EDA tools (such as Altium Designer or Cadence Allegro) for multi-layer PCB design, high-speed routing, and signal integrity.
- Strong understanding of power distribution, low-noise analog circuitry, high-speed digital design, and protection circuitry.
- Hands-on experience with serial and network communication buses, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN/CAN FD, RS232/RS485, USB, PCIe, Ethernet and automotive ethernet.
- Experience working with high-speed serial interfaces (e.g., GMSL, FPD-Link) and integrating modern sensing technologies (cameras, LiDAR, radar, and GNSS).
- Competency in scripting and low-level programming (Python, C/C++, or Bash) to write custom firmware verification tools, automate test equipment, and analyze raw sensor data.
- Deep familiarity with modern microcontroller architectures (such as STM32, NXP, TI, ARM Cortex chipsets) and secure boot/hardware security concepts.
- Familiarity with hardware testing and deployment standards for high reliability systems, such as IEC 60068, AEC or automotive functional safety standards (ISO 26262).
- Experience in leveraging AI tools to accelerate Mechanical Engineering workflow
- Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English.
