Lead Electrical Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Lead Electrical Engineer to architect, design, and develop electronic systems from initial concept through final delivery. This role involves hands-on electrical engineering, technical leadership, customer engagement, and cross-functional collaboration.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in electrical system architecture, analog and digital circuit design, PCB development, and hardware integration. You will own electrical engineering activities across the full product development lifecycle while guiding other engineers, reviewing designs, mentoring junior team members, and supporting technical proposals.

• Lead the architecture and development of electrical and electronic systems from concept through production and delivery.
• Develop electrical system architectures, block diagrams, power trees, power budgets, and electrical interface control documents (EICDs).
• Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, including linear and switch-mode DC/DC power conversion.
• Develop schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting engineering documentation.
• Integrate microcontrollers, processors, FPGAs, communication interfaces, and analog and sensor interfaces.
• Manage PCB design activities, including stack-up definition, component placement, routing, power distribution, thermal management, and design for manufacturability.
• Lead prototype development, board bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, integration, and verification.
• Prepare complete design documentation packages, including test plans, procedures, reports, and engineering change orders (ECOs).

• Lead technical design reviews and evaluate other engineers' schematics, PCB layouts, and engineering deliverables.
• Guide electrical engineers working on assigned projects and mentor junior team members.
• Establish and maintain high standards for design quality, technical accuracy, and engineering documentation.
• Make architecture decisions, evaluate design trade-offs, and resolve complex technical challenges.
• Estimate, schedule, and track engineering tasks to support project objectives.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers on assigned projects.
• Communicate project status, present design solutions, and participate in technical reviews, kickoffs, and project deliveries.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure successful product development and integration.
• Support sales and proposal activities through technical architecture concepts, engineering estimates, and project planning.
• Travel occasionally to customer sites as required.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
• 7 years of relevant electrical or hardware engineering experience, including at least 2 years in a technical leadership role.
• Extensive hands-on experience with electrical system architecture, including architecture trade-offs, block diagrams, power trees, power budgets, and EICDs.
• Strong experience in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Experience designing linear and switch-mode DC/DC power conversion circuits.
• Experience integrating microcontrollers, processors, and/or FPGAs.
• Knowledge of board-level communication interfaces, including I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232/422/485, CAN, USB, and Ethernet.
• Proficiency in Altium Designer 24 or later, including schematic capture, library management, hierarchical schematics, design data management, and fabrication and assembly outputs.
• Strong PCB design skills, including component placement, routing, stack-up definition, power distribution, thermal management, and manufacturability.
• Hands-on experience with prototype development, board bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and hardware verification.
• Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, network analyzers, and related laboratory equipment.
• Ability to prepare design documentation, test plans, test procedures, test reports, and ECOs.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, mentoring, design review, and customer communication skills.
