What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Hardware Design Engineer (Electrical) position at ASSA ABLOY Group?
About the company:
Founded by ex-Apple Product and Engineering leaders , Level is redefining the smart home with technology that is simple, intuitive, useful, and invisible . At Level, we take a unique approach to designing products - one that shifts focus from what we make to how we make it and who we make it for. It’s an approach that results in elegant and unique solutions, raising the bar for the entire smart home ecosystem.
Now part of the Assa Abloy family, a global leader in access solutions, Level is positioned to accelerate innovation and expand our reach even further. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver world-class smart home experiences while maintaining the vision and design excellence that have always set us apart.
About the role:
As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer (Electrical), you will drive architecture and design and choose tools and technologies to meet and exceed the requirements in categories such as reducing power consumption and battery life, BOM cost, physical size, RF performance and usability.
You will work with cross-functional teams to prototype, implement, validate and drive products to mass production. We are always looking for ways to improve existing products and, in this role, you’ll be able to bring new, elegant solutions and novel insights to the table.
Responsibilities:
When we look around our homes today, we see opportunity. We see “smart” products that lack utility and connected devices that push us further apart. We see consumers with high expectations, current standards set too low, and products that simply fail to deliver.
Level Home Inc. is re-inventing the standard. We’re redefining “smart”, to center around thoughtfulness, practicality, and the people who make the problem worth solving. We approach product design with a blank slate, zero assumptions, and an open-mind because the way a problem is defined sets the stage for its solution. We couple deep expertise with unbridled curiosity, because to us “smart” means simple, intuitive, and useful.
We start with empathy, take new perspectives, and challenge existing standards. People are at the heart of what we do, and respecting their style, choices, and preferences is the first step to uncovering a thoughtful solution that truly improves their daily lives. After all, we’re not just designing products for a house, we are designing them for the people who make it a home.
At ASSA ABLOY, we believe our greatest asset is our people, and we strive for competitive compensation plans to attract the best talent. The salary range for this position is $110k-$180k bonus. The salary range provided is a good faith estimate of what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we take into consideration a broad scope of factors, including but not limited to: skill sets, experience and training, education, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs. In addition, we provide a comprehensive benefits package and paid time off.
Level Home Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, disability or genetic information, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
