• Lead the design, integration, verification, and release of wireless, RF, mixed-signal, and battery-powered electrical systems.
• Serve as a technical lead on cross-functional development projects, driving alignment across electrical, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and certification teams.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks related to RF performance, wireless coexistence, EMC/EMI, signal integrity, power integrity, reliability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop and review technical documentation, verification evidence, and design review materials to support product maturity, certification readiness, and production release.
• Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex technical issues affecting product performance, quality, certification, and manufacturing readiness.
• Establish and improve engineering standards, best practices, and reusable design approaches while mentoring and providing technical guidance to other engineers.
• Collaborate with customers, suppliers, certification agencies, and development partners to support successful product delivery and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of experience developing electrical hardware products.
• Demonstrated experience with wireless, RF, mixed-signal, or EMC-sensitive electronic systems.
• Experience defining requirements, verification approaches, and technical documentation.
• Experience with PCB design, electrical architecture, component selection, and system integration.
• Experience identifying and resolving RF, EMC/EMI, SI, PI, or wireless coexistence issues.
• Experience with RF and electrical test equipment and engineering analysis tools.
• Experience supporting RF, EMC, or wireless certification testing and issue resolution.
• Experience supporting products through design, validation, and release.
• Ability to solve complex technical problems independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Experience leading RF, EMC, and wireless certification activities.
• Experience with antenna design/integration and OTA testing.
• Experience serving as a technical lead on cross-functional development programs and influencing technical decisions without direct authority.
• Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership.
• Experience establishing engineering standards, design practices, verification methodologies, or technical governance processes.

Skills

• Able to work effectively in a formal product development team environment.
• Able to exercise independent, sound judgment and decision-making.
• Able to commit to and work under deadlines.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Collaborate with third-party and offshore development teams when needed.
