Full-time

Description

Join our team as a Lead Electrical Engineer to architect and execute the design of Videology's next-generation industrial-grade embedded imaging systems. This is a senior-level, hands-on role that combines system-level architecture with schematic PCB design.

You'll architect and develop high-speed, reliable electronic systems including image signal processors, high-speed digital interfaces, and image sensors. You will also guide contributions from internal and external teams, overlooking quality and consistency across global design workflows.

Please Note: This is a senior-level position requiring 10+ years of experience in hardware system design and PCB development. Applicants without substantial hands-on design experience will not be considered.

Key Responsibilities:
• Architect embedded hardware platforms that integrate image sensors and processors, DDR memory, Ethernet, MIPI, SPI, I2C, and FPGAs
• Design and develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer, taking ownership of critical board development
• Define system architecture, PCB stack-ups, interface specifications, and signal/power integrity strategies
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC, DFM/DFT, thermal, and environmental standards for industrial-grade performance
• Review and guide the work of internal engineers, contractors, and offshore teams to ensure alignment with architectural direction
• Collaborate with firmware and software teams to define interfaces, bring-up procedures, and debug strategies
• Conduct hands-on validation using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers
• Lead hardware design reviews, establish standards and checklists, and support continuous improvement in design processes
• Mentor junior engineers and foster knowledge sharing across the organization

Requirements

Core Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years total, with substantial experience in schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware system architecture
• Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical or Electronics Engineering
• Location: Mansfield, MA (on-site position, no remote option)
• Tools: Altium Designer (expert-level), basic Embedded C (for board bring-up/debug)

Technical Requirements

• Proven track record designing and delivering high-speed digital boards (Ethernet, DDR, MIPI, SPI, FPGA)
• Expertise in signal integrity, power distribution, stack-up optimization, and thermal design
• Expertise in EMI/EMC compliance and familiarity with FCC/CE and IPC standards
• Ability to architect systems, then personally implement and validate key parts of the design
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment for hardware validation, debugging, and rework
• Comfortable writing and maintaining technical documentation, interface specs, and design rules

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with camera electronics and optics integration
• Exposure to wireless or RF design
• Familiarity with product lifecycle support and sustaining engineering practices
• Heatsink, enclosure, and mechanical design insights
