Staff Electrical Engineer

We are looking for a Staff Electrical Engineer to join our hardware team working on future wearables and accessory devices. This opportunity will be hybrid to San Francisco.

• →Electrical Design and development of cutting-edge wearable and other consumer devices, with a keen focus to detail, precision, and reliability. This includes electrical architecture, schematic design, and integration into PCBs, flexes, and other new technologies as required.
• →Define, own, and execute rapid prototyping efforts for concepts and evaluations, with both off the shelf and custom hardware.
• →Conduct thorough testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems to ensure they meet performance and safety standards. Collaborate with the Quality Assurance team to develop test plans.
• →Work closely with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless integration of electrical components within the product's physical design.
• →Collaborate with firmware engineers to develop embedded systems and ensure software-hardware compatibility; have proficiency yourself to create scripts & tools for bring-up, test, and profiling.
• →Work with leadership to help define and refine product roadmaps and timelines.

This is a hybrid role out of our San Francisco office.

• Project Experience: 10+ years of experience designing and shipping high volume consumer electronics as an HW Systems Integrator, who loves working on highly creative, fast-paced, and collaborative teams alongside Firmware Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Industrial and Interaction Designers.   Experience working with ultra low power microprocessors, SoCs, MEMS sensors, and Wireless Charging technologies.
• Electrical Design and Validation: Experience designing and validating custom analog and digital circuits and systems, including component selection, signal processing, and extremely comfortable with many communication protocols: UART, I2C, MIPI, SPI, DSI, and others. Experience scripting basic functions and working alongside firmware engineers to automate testing.
• Design Software Tools: Experience working with schematic capture and PCB layout software (ie. Altium, KiCad, etc.)
• Prototyping: Hands on experience building rapid prototypes and validating electrical and signal performance using typical EE lab equipment: rework equipment, DMMs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power analyzers. Can quickly design, release, and bring-up custom quick-turn PCBs.
• Manufacturing Expertise: Detailed experience designing, building, and testing high density PCBs, flexes, batteries, and sensing modules from concept to production. Experience working closely with CMs/JDMs to design and manufacture high precision and high quality products.
• Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills: You are comfortable with the unknown, the ambiguous, and strive to make engineering challenges a reality through creativity.
• Driven, Technical Leadership: Able to drive tasks independently, act as a leader and mentor across multiple organizations, organize, escalate and communicate issues and needs clearly.
• Communication and Collaboration Skills: Effective communication and collaboration skills are important. Be able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, work with other engineers and designers, and contribute to project planning and documentation.

• Experience with connected wearables, health & optical sensing, audio, and small form-factor products.
• Ability to travel overseas to Europe & Asia several times a year to visit vendors & colleagues.
• Familiarity with wireless protocols like BLE, BT, WiFi, NFC, 802.15.4, etc.
• Familiarity with 3D printing tools and mechanical fabrication.
