• Defining system level requirements and functional architectures across multidisciplinary subsystems
• Leading the creation of reusable electrical and embedded modules that accelerate future development
• Exploring, evaluating, and stress testing emerging technologies in sensors, connectivity, power, and intelligence
• Partnering closely with Engineering, Product Development, ID/UX, Quality, and Manufacturing because winning is a team sport
• Providing early electronics cost estimates and technical trade-offs to support business cases and roadmaps
• Participating in system integration, risk analysis, and design reviews with a sharp eye on EMC, safety, and DVT
• Raising the technical bar by communicating for impact, mentoring peers, and setting direction across advanced programs

What You'll Bring

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline
• 10+ years of experience in advanced R&D, early-stage product development, or complex consumer electronics systems
• Strong systems integration experience across electrical, embedded, and mechanical domains
• Solid analogue and digital circuit design skills, including A/D, D/A, filtering, and signal integrity
• Hands-on experience with power electronics (AC/DC, flyback, buck/boost, regulatory considerations)
• Embedded systems expertise with microcontrollers (ARM, 8/16-bit), memory, and interfaces
• Experience working with sensor technologies (IMUs, ToF, IR, cameras, magnetometers, etc.)
• Working knowledge of wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi integration)
• A builder's mindset with hands on rapid prototyping experience (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms)
• Exposure to edge AI / ML integration is a plus
• Comfort thriving in ambiguous, fast paced environments where playbooks don't exist yet
• A natural bias for action, strong analytical skills, and an eye for the details that make the difference
