Role Purpose Summary:

The "Sr. Staff Engineer, Electrical" is a member of a global R&D Team. The role is of a hands-on Electrical/Electronic engineer who is motivated to actively contribute to the new design and update of existing products. The person will play key role in architecting the systems, be involved from idea to product launch/update and own the design aspects and address all technical challenges including regulatory certifications.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Serve thought process leadership for building depth of embedded design for team.

• Understand product function & convert relate design to Embedded requirements.

• Perform reviews on design concepts, component selections, trade off analysis drive culture of simulation, design calculations, margin analysis & design process rigor before design finalization.

• Build and review & approve the design documents and verification plan mapping to all the requirements including key performance & reliability requirements.

• Approve the design performance meets the requirements, stays in sync with the Manufacturability and Serviceability, and achieve the cost/reliability target.

• Work with cross function team to capture requirements, perform system / subsystem design, finalize electronics design requirement by reviewing with systems & global engineering teams. Provide design options & tradeoff analysis to meet the requirements

• Mentor & approve resolution for technical challenges.

• Collaborate closely with the other engineering team members to have design meet with compelling design and form-factors that also meet regulatory, safety, environmental, reliability, thermal and interface standard (Ethernet, USB, etc.) compliance requirements.

• Ensure design meets DFx requirements

• Continuously learns and grow technical depth and knowledge across product lines.

Candidate Educational & Professional Experience Requirement:

• Masters or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics engineering, or related field or equivalent.
