Senior Electrical Engineer
FULL-TIME, REMOTE, 5–9 YRS EXP.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to lead hardware development across complex embedded and power-electronics systems. You will serve as a technical authority on circuit design, PCB architecture, and hardware validation — mentoring junior engineers, driving design decisions, and owning hardware deliverables from concept through production transfer.
Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end hardware design of complex analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits including power management architectures, high-speed interfaces, and RF front-ends
Own PCB architecture decisions — stackup definition, signal integrity analysis, controlled-impedance routing, EMC mitigation strategies, and DFM/DFT compliance
Drive hardware bring-up, root-cause analysis, and debug of prototype and production assemblies; define acceptance criteria for DVT and PVT builds
Author, review, and approve hardware design documentation: specifications, schematics, BOMs, assembly drawings, test plans, and failure analysis reports
Define hardware/firmware interface contracts; collaborate with firmware and software teams on embedded driver development, register maps, and system-level integration
Lead technical engagement with EMS/CM partners, component vendors, and test labs from NPI through mass production ramp
Develop DFT strategies and oversee functional test fixture design and ATE implementation
Chair design reviews (PDR, CDR, peer reviews); identify cross-functional risks and drive closure of action items
Mentor and provide technical guidance to Electrical Engineer I/II team members; review their work and support their professional growth
Drive component selection, second-source qualification, and BOM cost-reduction initiatives across the portfolio
Contribute to hardware roadmap planning and early-stage feasibility assessments for new programs Required Qualifications
B.S. in Electrical Engineering or closely related field; M.S. a plus
5–9 years of hands-on hardware design experience in an industry setting, with demonstrated ownership of full product cycles
Expert proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium Designer strongly preferred)
Deep experience with bench lab equipment and advanced debug techniques: oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
Strong command of power electronics: switching regulators (buck, boost, SEPIC, flyback), battery management systems, and multi-rail power sequencing
Proven experience with high-speed digital interfaces: USB 3.x, PCIe, MIPI, LVDS, Ethernet
Experience leading or co-leading PCB bring-up and NPI cycles with EMS/CM partners
Solid understanding of EMC design principles and experience supporting pre-compliance and regulatory testing (FCC, CE, UL)
Demonstrated ability to independently resolve complex, ambiguous hardware failures under schedule pressure
Track record of mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team technical development
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present technical findings to cross-functional and executive audiences Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing hardware for wireless connectivity: Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi 6/6E, cellular (LTE/5G), or satellite
Background with flex, rigid-flex, and HDI PCB design; familiarity with via-in-pad, ENIG/ENEPIG, and advanced stackup configurations
Hands-on experience with wearable, implantable, or body-worn device hardware including low-power design and biopotential sensing
Proficiency in scripting and simulation tools: Python, MATLAB, SPICE (LTspice or equivalent), or SI/PI analysis tools (HyperLynx, Sigrity)
Exposure to DO-160, IEC 60601, or other industry-specific hardware compliance standards
Experience contributing to or leading hardware architecture reviews at the system level
About the role:
Reports to: Hardware Engineering Manager or Director of Engineering—
Works closely with: Firmware Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations/Supply Chain, and Program Management
Expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy; sets technical direction within their domain and influences broader hardware strategy
