Description
Join our team as a Lead Electrical Engineer to architect and execute the design of 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
