Sr Electrical Engineer

Step into a high-impact Senior Electrical Engineer role where you’ll drive the design, development, and optimization of Starkey’s next‑generation hearing technologies. If you’re motivated by cutting‑edge design, cross‑functional collaboration, and seeing your work come to life in meaningful products, this is the opportunity to elevate your career.

Starkey is a world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of advanced hearing technologies. We are in the business of connecting people and changing lives. Our teams come to work each day focused on ensuring people everywhere have the products and services they need to hear better and live better.

Founded in 1967 by Bill Austin, Starkey is known for its cutting‑edge hearing health innovations, industry‑leading research and development, and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

This position is responsible for planning, concepting, prototyping, component selection, designing, verifying, and documenting printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and other electronic packaging for Starkey’s products, including analog, digital, mixed signal, RF, magnetic, and electromagnetic domains. Working closely with Signal Integrity, Electroacoustic, and Acoustic engineers, this position fulfills product requirements, creates design guidelines, enforces design specifications, and plans design processes/procedures. Finally, the role leads design, research, and/or operation groups in problem‑solving for product‑related issues to ensure successful design transfer to production and sustained production.

• Concept design, prototype evaluation, and component selection:
  • Plan and create novel designs and integration of new platforms/chipsets.
  • Plan and create breadboards/fast‑turn prototype evaluations of new concepts.
  • Create decision analyses and document component selection.
  • Execute business initiatives throughout all design and release phases.
• Circuit design and verification:
  • Plan and create schematic capture, and execute component placement.
  • Plan and execute layout, and create fabrication documentation.
  • Plan and create fabrication/performance specifications and verification plans.
  • Troubleshoot issues throughout design and release phases.
  • Document and share knowledge of novel findings.
• Product verification and design transfer:
  • Decompose product‑level requirements and verify at subsystem and component level.
  • Perform formal PLM releases of designs to production.
  • Enforce specifications and constraints for design and fabrication.
  • Plan and execute failure analysis of product design, testing, processes, and field issues.
• Continuous improvement:
  • Create design and test processes, procedure documentation, and improvement updates.
  • Enhance competence of available tools and stay abreast of industry trends.
  • Seek and mature PCBA miniaturization and modularization technologies for implementation into hearing aid products.

• Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a minimum 7 years of relevant experience.
• Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a minimum 5 years of relevant experience.
• Doctorate of Science (PhD) in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a minimum 2 years of relevant experience.

• Relevant design, test, and transfer experience in a product development environment, including ECAD PCB/PCBA layout, Gerber/ODB++ review, schematic capture and review, design life cycle documentation and transfer, electronic lab correlation measurement, and leading junior engineers and technicians on projects.

• Advanced proficiency with prototyping and component selection.
• Advanced proficiency with schematic and layout CAD packages (Siemens Xpedition, Altium, Cadence Allegro).
• Intermediate to advanced knowledge of industry standards (IPC, MIL, JEDEC, IEC, ETSI, IEEE).
• Intermediate working knowledge of DSP, SoC, and PMIC technologies.
• Advanced knowledge of analog‑to‑digital and digital‑to‑analog circuits.
• Intermediate proficiency with circuit simulation tools (SPICE, Q3D, HFSS, SIWave, Maxwell).
• Advanced knowledge of product development best practices (DFM, DOE,…
