Position Responsibilities:

• Design and review of electronic hardware components, including schematics and component selection.

• Provide guidance and oversight on PCB design/layout best practices (signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI, manufacturability), even if not performing layouts directly.

• Drive technical roadmaps for electronic hardware platforms and ensure scalability across product lines.

• Establish design guidelines, workflows, and tools for the electrical engineering team.

• Collaborate with global cross-functional teams (software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing) to align requirements and integration.

• Mentor junior and senior engineers, providing coaching, feedback, and leadership in design reviews.

• Demonstrate strong leadership qualities such as accountability, decision-making, and the ability to influence across teams.

• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis of complex system-level issues (HW/SW/PCB interactions).

• Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and payment certification standards (e.g., PCI, EMC, UL).

• Support new product introduction by working closely with operations and manufacturing teams.

• Actively develop skills in people leadership and team management with the goal of transitioning into future management opportunities.

Qualification Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering is required; Master’s degree preferred.

• 8+ years of experience in electronic hardware design and development with increasing levels of responsibility.

• Strong system-level knowledge of embedded hardware architectures, microcontrollers, and integration.

• Proven track record of leading technical projects, mentoring peers, and influencing cross-functional teams.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively.

• Familiarity with PCB design and layout tools (Altium, OrCAD, or equivalent) is preferred, but not required.

• Demonstrated interest in developing leadership and management skills for future growth.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with SolidWorks for electro-mechanical integration.

• Advanced problem-solving methodologies (DFX, DFSS, FAST, or equivalent).

• Familiarity with programming for microcontrollers (C) and system-level validation.

• Experience with communication bus protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and USB.

• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes and design constraints for volume production.

• Experience in compliance and certification processes (PCI, EMI/EMC, safety).

• Previous experience leading cross-functional initiatives or mentoring other engineers.

Essential Functions:

• Serve as a technical leader and mentor within the electrical engineering organization.

• Represent the electrical team in cross-functional and executive-level discussions.

• Must be highly organized and able to balance multiple projects with competing priorities.
