Summary
This position is accountable to lead Hardware Design Engineers to spearhead the development of complex systems for highly regulated industries and implemented using the latest technologies. In this role, you will be the technical anchor for the hardware team, responsible for the full lifecycle of electronic hardware developmentfrom architectural definition and schematic capture to PCB layout, validation, and mass production. You will mentor junior engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, mechanical, manufacturing), and ensure our designs meet rigorous standards for performance, reliability, and cost.
Detailed Description
Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Develop technical proposals including system and hardware architecture based on product or customer requirements.
- Lead the selection of key components (MCUs, FPGAs, Power Management ICs) balancing cost, availability, and performance.
- Conduct critical design reviews (Architecture, Schematic, Layout, DFx) to ensure high-quality design output.
- Review and interpret customer documentation, conduct appropriate research, and analysis
- Ability to create a project/change management plan, establish and distribute project roles, and communicate what is needed from the project participants in order to make the project successful.
Design & Development
- Design complex mixed-signal, analog, and digital circuits.
- Perform schematic capture and oversee or execute complex PCB layouts (multi-layer, high-speed signals, impedance control).
- Simulate and analyze circuits and channels using tools like SPICE, CST, Cadence Sigrity to validate design integrity before prototyping.
Testing & Validation
- Develop hardware verification plans and lead board bring-up, debugging, and characterization.
- Troubleshoot complex hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL, RoHS) and EMI/EMC requirements.
Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Firmware/Software teams to define hardware abstraction layers and configurations.
- Collaborate with Mechanical Engineering to ensure proper thermal management is implemented and enclosure is designed with reliability and cost in mind.
- Manage relationships with JDM partners; oversee the transition from EVT/DVT to PVT and Mass Production.
Knowledge/Skills/Competencies
