About the Role

Our tightly integrated electronics pack a broad range of functions into a small package. We are seeking an Electrical Engineer with experience in wearable products, or similar areas in consumer electronics, who can own and drive system design through to production. They will follow the system or complete subsystems through concept, architecture, prototyping, evaluation, and refinement stages. This requires low-level, hands-on EE skills with the breadth to cover any subsystems, including high-level direction, partner management, and Software / Firmware collaboration.

Deep knowledge and experience in designing and shipping compact, efficient battery-powered systems with RF connectivity and challenging industrial design constraints is ideal. Experience with IoT devices, custom silicon, or ML accelerators is a plus.

Responsibilities :

• Own & drive the development of the electrical architecture, design, prototyping, and development of one or more hardware systems (MCU / SOC / FPGA, battery, sensing, RF, Audio).
• Contribute to hardware process and tool flow definition, hardware vendor engagement, and management.
• Serve as a domain expert on one or more areas of electrical design, such as audio, DSP, battery, RF, or sensing.
• Define hardware roadmaps, architectures, trade-offs, specifications, development plans, and evaluation methods for wearable electronics.
• Hands-on PCBA design and bring-up : component selection, schematic, layout, assembly, bring-up, test / debug, and integration into larger systems.
