Sr. Electrical Hardware Engineer (Hybrid Remote)

This position allows for 3 days per week remote / work from home. A global developer and manufacturer of advanced networking, connectivity, and industrial automation hardware is seeking a Lead Hardware Design Engineer. In this position, you will oversee full-lifecycle printed circuit board (PCB) and system architecture design—guiding complex electronics projects from early-stage concept to high-volume manufacturing. You will serve as a primary technical driver across multidisciplinary teams—collaborating with software engineering, mechanical design, quality assurance, and operations to deliver durable, scalable, and cost-effective product lines.

Define end-to-end hardware architecture for industrial IoT, embedded computing, and telecommunications equipment. Engineer complex mixed-signal, analog, digital, and power regulation sub-assemblies. Evaluate and select primary silicon platforms, including application processors, SoCs, FPGAs, power management ICs, memory modules, and high-speed communication transceivers. Execute schematic capture via industry-standard EDA platforms while balancing performance, target unit costs, manufacturability, and thermal constraints. Architect system designs supporting RTOS environments and Embedded Linux chipsets. Layout high-speed communication networks and memory topologies (DDRx, Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, USB, SERDES, SPI, I²C, UART). Implement physical layer interfaces across wired, fiber, RF, or specialized industrial protocols. Design power supply networks, including DC-DC switching regulators, power distribution networks (PDN), and energy-efficient power rails. Perform thermal modeling, timing budget calculations, signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI) analysis. Lead overall hardware delivery efforts through prototype bring-up, design validation testing (DVT), pilot runs, and mass production. Troubleshoot board-level issues during assembly and resolve field reliability reports through structured root-cause analysis. Identify alternate components, manage bill-of-materials (BOM) lifecycle risks, and execute cost-reduction redesigns. Direct design execution to ensure compliance with global regulatory standards (FCC, CE, UL, EMC/EMI, and environmental regulations). Function as the primary technical authority for assigned hardware platforms. Mentor early- and mid-career engineers, providing peer code/schematic reviews and technical direction. Help drive internal engineering standards, technology roadmaps, and continuous improvement across the hardware development lifecycle.

S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

8+ years of hands-on experience in board-level electronics design and product development.

Demonstrated track record of launching commercial embedded hardware products from initial design to volume production.

Deep knowledge of high-speed digital circuit design and mixed-signal architectures.

Strong diagnostic skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and RF test equipment.

Excellent technical documentation, verbal communication, and project management skills.
