Senior Electrical Engineer II, Video

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.

• →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.

• 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.
• This role requires a hands-on electrical leader who is comfortable personally engaging in critical lab work, design validation, and technical issue resolution, not solely directing the work of others.
