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

Qualifications

  • Nice to Have:
  • Consumer product or consumer goods consulting experience
  • Familiarity with compilers, IDEs, JIRA, and SVN
  • Experience working within distributed, multi-site engineering teams

Skills

  • Technical proficiency in embedded systems design
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously

Benefits

  • Flexible spending accounts
  • Health savings accounts (HSA) with company contribution
  • 401(k) retirement plan with matching
  • Employee stock purchase program
