Job description

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other. Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

As a member of the Video Electrical Engineering Sustaining team, you will play a key role in maintaining, debugging, qualifying, and improving the electronics designs behind Axon’s in‑market video products. This includes wirelessly connected body‑worn cameras, in‑vehicle camera systems, high‑speed docking stations, and other mass‑produced devices. Your technical expertise, engineering process knowledge, and hands‑on design and debug skills will be essential to sustaining product continuity by addressing component obsolescence, facilitating design improvements, resolving critical field and production issues, and supporting regulatory testing needed to maintain global certifications or enable entry into new markets. In this role, you will own design improvement activities while collaborating across cross‑functional teams and global partners to help maintain truly world‑class products. You will join a passionate engineering team devoted to solving complex challenges and delivering technologies that make a meaningful difference for Law Enforcement, Public Safety, and the communities they serve.

Your Day-to-Day

• Update in‑market circuit designs to address component obsolescence, approved component substitutions, second‑source requests, cost reduction opportunities, and other post‑launch design improvements for mass‑produced electronics.
• Partner with cross‑functional engineering teams, technology partners, and manufacturing teams to own electronics sustainment throughout the post‑launch product lifecycle.
• Execute bench verification and performance evaluation of components and circuits using standard laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and power supplies.
• Perform hands‑on debug, failure analysis, and rework of electronic systems, circuits, and components.
• Use OrCAD Capture and related design tools to update embedded mixed‑signal circuit designs for complex electronic products, including processors, sensors, memory, power, audio, RF, and PCB assemblies.
• Work closely with PCB design engineers to define, implement, review, and release PCB layout updates using Allegro or similar layout tools.
• Test and evaluate baseline RF performance of wireless subsystems, including cellular, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS, in assigned in‑market products.
• Develop test methods, execute system‑ and component‑level verification, and drive test plans to validate electronic design changes.
• Document design changes, test results, and technical conclusions, and communicate findings clearly to design teams and management.
• Provide hardware support to global regulatory compliance teams, including sample preparation, documentation, and debug, for certifications such as FCC, IC, CE, and PTCRB.
• Update, review, and finalize BOMs and other design documentation to support engineering changes and production release.
