About the role
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for a senior engineer who wants real ownership. You'll drive embedded electronics design — hardware and firmware — across the full product development lifecycle, from early concept through production. You won't be inheriting someone else's architecture. You'll define it.
Responsibilities
- Lead embedded electronic design from concept to production — schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware (C/ASM), and everything in between
- Define product electrical and firmware architecture as the technical foundation for global teams and contract manufacturing partners
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams globally (US, China, and beyond), work directly with contract manufacturers, and be the go-to technical authority on electrical and firmware decisions for your programs
- Partner with Engineering and Product Marketing to develop EBOM cost estimates and assess work effort for new initiatives
- Own compliance — work with the compliance team to ensure products meet global certification standards for consumer electronics
- Develop clear, thorough hardware and firmware specifications and documentation
- Lead EMI/EMC and compliance issue resolution through rigorous root cause analysis
- Report program status to global EE leadership and contribute to organizational goal-setting
- Mentor junior engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years in embedded hardware and firmware design, with full product development cycles under your belt
- Proven ability to design electronics from scratch — not just adapt existing designs
- Experience in component selection, system architecture, design verification, and documentation
- Firmware development for microcontrollers: design, test, and debug
- Familiarity with DFM, DFT, and reliability principles
- EMI/EMC troubleshooting and compliance resolution experience
- Strong communicator — comfortable presenting technical decisions to cross-functional and global audiences
- Self-directed, with the ability to manage your own priorities in a fast-moving environment

- Consumer product or consumer goods consulting experience
