08 - Lead Engineer, Hardware Design
About The Position
The Lead Engineer, Hardware Design works with cross-functional teams, including other designers, customers, manufacturing engineering, and project leadership, to support robust, high-quality product development. The role incorporates feedback from manufacturing, test, supply chain, reliability, industrial design, and simulation reviews, and supports the electrical or mechanical system through manufacturing. For electrical design, the role develops new electrical systems and circuits for various applications, researches system concepts, and documents plans in schematics and system specifications. It tests, simulates, validates, and qualifies systems, making adjustments as needed. For mechanical design, the role develops new mechanical systems and modules and maintains existing designs. It researches mechanical concepts, creates solutions using 3D modeling and simulation software, and completes calculations, testing, validation, and qualification. The position designs and implements technical solutions across two or more technical areas, leads smaller projects, and may coordinate and review other engineers’ work. It interprets customer documentation, develops technical proposals, solves complex problems, and liaises with suppliers, customers, contractors, and internal teams. Duties are performed in a normal office environment, with occasional travel possible.
