Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in hardware engineering roles with strong grounding in analog/digital design, component behavior, RF constraints, and PCB layout comprehension.
• Proven ability to review, sustain, and cost‑optimize existing designs, including addressing component obsolescence and solving board‑level issues without direct involvement in NPI ownership.
• Skilled in interpreting schematics, block diagrams, BOMs, electrical specifications, and supplier trade‑offs for space‑constrained, manufacturable designs.
• Hands‑on expertise using oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal generators, power supplies, and spectrum/network analyzers for troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis.
• Experienced working within structured product development processes, collaborating cross‑functionally to ensure designs meet performance, RF integrity, cost, and manufacturability requirements.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with DFM, DFA, and DFx principles.
• Experience with power electronics, including: Linear and switching regulators, EMI/EMC considerations, grounding and layout best practices.
• Experience or knowledge with regulatory standards (UL, FCC, CE) is a plus.
• Understanding of manufacturing test strategies and yield optimization.
• Experience working in cost-sensitive, high-volume, life safety and security systems.
• Ability to balance engineering rigor with practical cost and scheduling constraints.

Responsibilities

• Lead sustaining engineering activities including cost‑reduction, design improvement, and obsolescence management (EOL), developing second‑source strategies and qualifying replacement components.
• Plan and execute project subtasks such as circuit analysis, testing, validation, and risk assessments while ensuring compliance with product specifications and regulatory standards.
• Develop hardware test plans, conduct validation, troubleshoot failures using measurement equipment (oscilloscope, DMM, signal generators, spectrum/network analyzers), and deliver data‑driven corrective actions for manufacturing or field issues.
• Collaborate with procurement, vendors, and suppliers to evaluate cost, lead times, supply‑chain risks, and ensure component and product compliance.
• Support customer‑acceptance and certification activities; communicate non‑compliance incidents and internal audit findings to appropriate stakeholders.
• Provide technical guidance to engineers, technicians, and cross‑functional partners, ensuring project alignment and compliance with engineering methodologies.
• Prepare and lead design reviews, technical summaries, and presentations for leadership and external customers.
• Identify and propose technical improvements, enhancements, and innovative approaches to advance existing products within space‑constrained and RF‑sensitive designs.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits including health and life insurance, retirement plans, vacation & holidays, and more.
