• Experience supporting regulatory certification and compliance testing
• Deep knowledge of embedded system architecture
• Strong experience in high-speed digital design, power regulation/conversion, and high-density PCB layout
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer or equivalent)
• Experience with simulation and analysis tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, or similar)
• Expertise in digital communication interfaces including RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, and USB
• Working knowledge of applicable safety and EMC standards (IEC, FCC Part 15, CE)
• Experience designing for EMI mitigation, grounding, shielding, filtering, and surge protection
• Strong analytical and systems-level thinking
• Technical leadership and architectural ownership
• Deep understanding of compliance-driven design
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Clear cross-functional communication
• Ownership mindset with the ability to drive projects to completion

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, modeling, and simulation of embedded electrical systems
• Develop low- to high-density circuit cards and power/signal conversion systems
• Architect embedded system platforms including power regulation and digital communication subsystems
• Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance requirements
• Direct technical design reviews and define electrical system requirements
• Own electrical architecture decisions from concept through production
• Drive technology alignment with product roadmaps and business objectives
• Provide technical oversight during prototype builds, compliance testing, and production ramp
• Interface with suppliers for vendor qualification and product launch support
• Provide ongoing sustainment support for fielded hardware products
• Perform advanced electrical analysis using industry-standard simulation tools
• Validate signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC performance, and overall system robustness
• Ensure compliance with applicable safety standards and EMC requirements (FCC, CE, IEC)
• Support pre-compliance and formal certification testing, including documentation and remediation
• Lead failure analysis and root cause investigations
• Troubleshoot complex system-level issues in lab and field environments
• Diagnose EMI, ESD, grounding, and safety-related issues
• Implement corrective actions and drive continuous product improvement
• Mentor and guide junior engineers in best practices and design methodology
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, compliance, and quality teams
