Job Description

We are seeking a versatile Lead Electrical Engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and next-gen intelligence. This role is designed for a self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset who can balance the high-stakes innovation of New Product Development (NPD) with the critical rigor of sustaining engineering. You will be instrumental in architecting embedded systems that leverage the latest technologies to bring real-time intelligence to our hardware.

Key Responsibilities:

• Full-Lifecycle Design: Lead end-to-end design from initial concept and schematic capture to high-density PCB layout and production launch.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate DSP solutions into larger system architectures, ensuring seamless interoperability and debugging complex system-level issues
• Mixed Engineering Focus: Balance NPD (prototyping, validation, and innovation) with Sustaining Engineering (troubleshooting field issues, managing component obsolescence, and driving cost-reduction initiatives).
• Agile Execution: Work within a cross-functional Agile team, participating in sprints to rapidly iterate on prototypes and ship production-ready features.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Deep understanding of analog/digital circuit design, power management, and EMI/EMC compliance.

Design and implementation of systems centered around MCUs, DSPs, or FPGAs

Soft Skills:

Entrepreneurial Mindset: Ability to act as a "product owner" for your subsystems, making data-backed decisions under ambiguity.

Versatile: Ability to shift gears between high-level architectural brainstorming and deep-dive troubleshooting of production issues.
