As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will bring the expertise, technical depth, and passion needed to architect, design, integrate, and validate complex embedded digital systems using both commercial off-the-shelf and semi-custom components. Working closely with cross‑functional teams, you will develop robust and reliable system architectures, leveraging modeling, simulation, analysis, and testing to optimize electrical functionality and performance. You will create and maintain technical documentation, including design reviews, test reports, and theory‑of‑operation documents, while performing component‑, board‑, and subsystem‑level testing to verify compliance with system requirements.

This includes conducting EMI/EMC, ESD, and thermal evaluations, as well as developing custom test fixtures when needed. In addition, you will actively participate in design reviews and cross‑functional Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (xFMEA) activities, identifying risks, driving root‑cause investigations, and implementing solutions that enhance product quality, reliability, and overall system performance throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Architect, integrate and test an embedded Acoustic and Video system using off‑the‑shelf and semi‑custom components.
• Architect, develop, design, and test printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) of varying complexity.
• Own full lifecycle designs of PCBAs including design, technical reviews, prototyping, detailed test, design and release documentation.
