We're on the lookout for an experienced Electrical Engineering Manager to take ownership of end-to-end electrical design for complex consumer electronic systems.
The position is focused on the development SOC- and MCU-based systems, working on everything from analog and digital circuitry to communication interfaces, sensors, motors, and power systems.
You'll work hand-in-hand with firmware developers, product leaders, and cross-disciplinary teams to transform cutting-edge ideas into fully realized products — always focused on delivering high performance, cost-effective solutions with a seamless user experience.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Electrical Design : Take ownership of electrical system development from initial concept through to mass production — including brainstorming, schematic capture, prototyping, validation, and production support.
- Circuit & Hardware Engineering : Design and troubleshoot analog and digital circuitry, power systems (including switch-mode power supplies), high-speed interfaces (displays, cameras), wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and a range of embedded sensors (IMUs, proximity, hall effect, etc.).
- Validation & Testing : Define and implement comprehensive hardware validation plans. Perform hands-on bench testing and generate detailed technical reports outlining results and recommendations.
- Team Integration : Collaborate with firmware engineers to support hardware-software integration and board-level bring-up. Engage in peer reviews and provide input on iterative design improvements.
- Design Optimization : Focus on delivering robust, efficient, and scalable designs that balance high performance with cost-effective manufacturing.
- Cross-Team Collaboration : Work alongside product teams and multidisciplinary engineering groups to drive innovation across a portfolio of next-generation connected household devices.
