What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Electrical Engineer position at Confidential?
Overview :
We are looking for a Staff Electrical Engineer to join our hardware team working on future wearables and accessory devices reporting directly to the VP of Hardware. This opportunity will be hybrid out of our San Diego office.
Responsibilities :
- Electrical Design and development of cutting-edge wearable and other consumer devices, with a keen focus to detail, precision, and reliability. This includes electrical architecture, schematic design, and integration into PCBs, flexes, and other new technologies as required.
- Conduct thorough testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems to ensure they meet performance and safety standards. Collaborate with the Quality Assurance team to develop test plans.
- Work closely with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless integration of electrical components within the product's physical design. Collaborate with firmware engineers to develop embedded systems and ensure software-hardware compatibility.
- Work with leadership to help define and refine product roadmaps and timelines.
- Must have 10 years of experience designing and shipping high volume consumer electronics as an HW Systems Integrator , who loves working on highly creative, fast-paced, and collaborative teams alongside Firmware Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Industrial and Interaction Designers. Experience working with ultra low power microprocessors, SoCs, MEMS sensors, and Wireless Charging technologies. Connected wearables and optical sensing experience preferred.
- Experience designing and validating custom analog and digital circuits and systems, including component selection, signal processing, and extremely comfortable with many communication protocols : UART, I2C, MIPI, SPI, DSI, and others.
- Experience scripting basic functions and working alongside firmware engineers to automate testing.
- Experience working with schematic capture and PCB layout software (ie. Altium, Cadence, etc)
- Prototyping : Hands on experience building prototypes and validating electrical and signal performance using typical EE lab equipment : rework equipment, DMMs, Oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power analyzers.
- Detailed experience designing, building, and testing high density PCBs, flexes, batteries, and sensing modules from concept to production. Experience working closely with CMs / JDMs to design and manufacture high precision and high quality products.
- You are comfortable with the unknown, the ambiguous, and strive to make engineering challenges a reality through creativity
