System Hardware Engineer

Description

Summary:

• The main function of a systems hardware engineer is to research, design, develop, test high-density, wearable electronics.
• The candidate will work with emerging technologies in a fast-paced team.

Job Responsibilities:

• Review and approve plan layout, including creating new designs and modifications of existing designs.
• Review and approve product prototypes, working models or theoretical models constructed with computer simulation.
• Write detailed functional specifications and design flow/tradeoff.
• Support new technology introduction.
• Working experience with sensors such as capacitive touch, IMU, IR etc.
• Support sensor calibration, tuning, simulations and performance characterization.
• Able to write scripts to plan and perform user testing studies
• Act as a subject matter expert to engineering staff and consult specifications to evaluate interface between hardware and software and operational and performance requirements of the overall system.
• Provide training and support to system designers and users.
• Design and develop hardware and support peripherals, including system-on-chip (SoC), support logic, microprocessors, custom integrated circuits, and system interconnection.
• Direct technicians, engineering designers or other technical support personnel as needed.
• Candidates will be evaluated based on their deliverables in hardware design and prototype builds, as well as documentation and communications with cross-functional teams.

Skills:

• Good EE fundamentals. In depth knowledge of sensors such as capacitive touch and experience with system integration highly desirable
• High density Rigid/flex board design and system integration experience.
• Hands on lab skills.
• Rapid prototyping with what's available.
• Can-do attitude.
• Ability to drive projects with high ambiguity, multiple paths, and fuzzy future to clarity.
• Understanding of core tech areas, such as SoC, sensor, wireless, audio, display, interfaces (USB, MIPI, PCIE, SPI, I2C).
• Capable of designing, bringing up and evaluating projects from those areas.
• Embedded software basics.
• Comfortable in looking into software log/code and familiarity with Python scripting
• Use automation to help team improve project quality, as well as scale to more projects.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering required.
