Sr. Electrical Engineer

At UEI you will be part of a world class team that is working to innovate and revolutionize the meaning of ‘wireless control’. Whether it’s via chips, software licenses or turnkey products, we are continuing to reinvent how consumers interact with devices and services in their home.

Each day we make the connected home smarter, easier to connect and use, and more sustainable. Wedelight our Fortune 100 customers such as Comcast, Apple, Samsung, Google, Vivint and Daikin with ground breaking wireless technology solutions such as advanced, voice-enabled remote controls, cloud control solutions, extreme low power Bluetooth silicon with energy harvesting capabilities, smart thermostats and sensors and many other IoT solutions.

The Sr. Electrical Engineer is a senior individual contributor who independently designs, develops, integrates, and validates electrical hardware for connected-home and consumer-electronics products. This position owns complex electrical design activities from requirements and system architecture through schematic capture, prototype bring-up, design verification, regulatory support, cost optimization, and transfer to high-volume production. The engineer works closely with software, mechanical, RF, test, applications, program management, sourcing, quality, and manufacturing teams across UEI locations and with customers and suppliers.

• Lead complex electrical hardware development for wireless control, smart-home, thermostat, sensing, and other embedded consumer-electronics products.
• Translate product and customer requirements into electrical system architectures, block diagrams, component-level schematics, design specifications, interface definitions, and electrical bills of material.
• Design and review digital, analog, mixed-signal, power-management, battery-powered, sensor, display, audio, infrared, and wireless-support circuitry as applicable to the product.
• Select and qualify components based on performance, cost, availability, lifecycle, reliability, regulatory, and manufacturability requirements; evaluate alternate and second-source components when needed.
• Guide PCB placement and routing, including signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, EMI/EMC, RF coexistence, antenna-interface, thermal, testability, and design-for-manufacturing considerations.
• Plan and execute prototype bring-up, debugging, characterization, design verification, tolerance analysis, worst-case analysis, and reliability testing using appropriate laboratory equipment.
• Diagnose complex product and system issues across hardware, firmware, software, RF, mechanical, manufacturing, and test boundaries; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions to closure.
• Perform design reviews and provide clear technical recommendations, risk assessments, trade-off analyses, and documentation for project and business decisions.
• Support regulatory and product-safety certification activities, including test readiness, technical investigation, and resolution of compliance issues.
• Partner with global manufacturing and test engineering teams to define electrical test coverage, support pilot builds, resolve production issues, improve yield, and release designs into high-volume production.
• Collaborate with applications and program teams on customer RFQs, feasibility studies, technical responses, preliminary schematics, and BOM development when required.
• Provide technical guidance to other engineers and cross-functional team members; may lead the technical work of a project team without direct supervisory responsibility.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and release documentation in accordance with UEI development and change-control processes.
• Travel domestically or internationally as needed to support customers, suppliers, UEI engineering teams, certification activities, and manufacturing sites.

• The engineer may serve as a technical or project lead and guide other engineers, technicians, and cross-functional team members.

• Minimum of 7 years of related electrical engineering experience…
