Senior Electrical Engineer II, Video

Your Impact

As a lead electrical engineer for Axon’s next-generation video hardware, you will own the electrical architecture and lead end-to-end technical execution from concept through mass production. This is a deeply hands-on Individual Contributor role requiring direct engagement in design, bring-up, validation, debug, and issue resolution, while also providing clear technical leadership across internal teams and third-party design partners.

What You’ll Do

• Define and drive the hardware architecture, including SoC/application processor selection, system partitioning, interface definition, power architecture, and subsystem integration strategy.

• Lead the development and integration of complex embedded mixed-signal hardware spanning application processors/SoCs, memory, power delivery and battery systems, audio, sensors, wired interfaces, and wireless subsystem integration.

• Personally lead critical hands-on electrical work including schematic design, board bring-up, subsystem validation, root-cause debug, characterization, and closure of key technical issues.

• Drive system-level electrical tradeoffs across performance, power, battery life, thermal behavior, mechanical packaging, EMI/EMC, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule; identify unstated requirements, integration gaps, and technical risks early.

• Provide technical direction to internal engineers and third-party design partners, reviewing key design outputs to ensure alignment with product requirements, architecture intent, engineering standards, and program milestones.

• Work closely with PCB layout engineers to drive floorplanning, placement, stack-up direction, layout review, and physical implementation quality for dense, high-performance embedded designs.

• Develop validation strategies and personally engage in lab testing, characterization, and debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, multimeters, electronic loads, and custom test fixtures.

• Partner closely with firmware, RF, mechanical, systems, product, test, NPI, quality, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to drive robust integration and strong cross-functional execution.

• Own electrical issue triage and resolution across prototype builds, validation, regulatory activities, and production ramp.

• Lead electrical design reviews, establish engineering standards and best practices, and provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers through direct technical leadership and strong execution.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline, advanced degree preferred.

• 10+ years of industry experience in electronics design, with deep experience in high-performance, battery-powered, size- and weight-constrained embedded products such as body cameras, action cameras, or mobile communications devices.

• Demonstrated experience serving as the technical owner or electrical lead for a complex hardware product, with responsibility spanning electronics architecture, design, integration, verification, and issue closure from concept through production.

• Proven success leading development of compact embedded systems where electrical design decisions must balance performance, power, battery life, thermal limits, mechanical packaging, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule.

• Hands-on experience developing highly integrated embedded hardware systems, including SoC/application processor integration, memory, power and battery systems, audio, sensors, high-speed interfaces, and wireless subsystem integration.

• Deep experience with high-speed interface definition, integration, and debug, including technologies such as LPDDR, UFS, USB3.x, MIPI, Ethernet, SerDes, or similar interfaces.

• Demonstrated experience with wireless subsystem integration, including effective collaboration with RF engineering on technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, and GNSS.

• Expertise in power system design and optimization for battery-powered products, including switch-mode and linear regulators, sequencing, measurement, and low-power design techniques.

• Exceptional hands-on proficiency in board bring-up, lab characterization, troubleshooting, and root-cause debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and custom test setups.

• Proven track record providing technical leadership to internal engineers and external design partners, delivering high-quality electrical designs, maintaining alignment to architecture intent, and closing technical issues effectively.

• Proficiency guiding PCB layout for dense embedded hardware, including layout direction, review, optimization, and release to fabrication; experience with OrCAD/Cadence and Allegro tools is preferred.

• Experience designing, testing, and debugging products for regulatory compliance such as FCC, CE, IEC, or similar standards.

• Excellent communication, documentation, and technical presentation skills.
