Principal Electrical Engineer

Principal Electrical Engineer

Position Summary

The Principal Electrical Engineer serves as the top technical authority for electrical engineering across the organization''''s most complex products. This role drives high-impact design decisions that shape the technology roadmap, while mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across the team. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on expertise in mixed-signal PCB design (analog and digital) along with a strong track record of taking products from concept through volume production — including a proven background in Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and direct execution of complex electrical engineering projects from concept through production
• Lead hands-on design of analog, digital, and mixed-signal PCBs, including power supply, power electronics, timing/PLLs, and low-noise circuitry, that integrate successfully with electromechanical and software subsystems
• Translate product requirements (PRDs) into detailed design specifications
• Partner cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and Service teams to drive system architecture, specifications, and verification testing
• Lead schematic and PCB design reviews to reduce production risk and catch issues before they become costly late-stage changes
• Identify and close gaps in design-for-manufacturability, design-for-test, and design-for-serviceability practices to reduce lifecycle costs and improve yield
• Create and maintain test protocols for design verification and validation; oversee execution, document results, and produce final test reports
• Build and maintain a requirements-to-design-to-test traceability matrix for assigned projects
• Collaborate with Product Management on system integration activities and usability studies
• Prepare and lead technical and design review presentations
• Set and uphold electrical engineering technical standards across projects; mentor and develop other engineers on the team

Required Qualifications

• Significant hands-on experience taking electronic products from design through full-scale manufacturing (product experience is essential — this is not a research-only or early-stage-only role)
• Demonstrated background in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), with direct experience improving yield, reliability, and production efficiency through design changes
• Strong, proven expertise in mixed-signal PCB design, spanning both analog and digital domains
• Working knowledge of RF design principles
• Proficiency with modern EDA/CAD tools for simulation, schematic capture, layout, and documentation
• Experience contributing to firmware-adjacent hardware design (timing, PLLs, power electronics)
• Experience building and maintaining requirements traceability across design, specification, and test
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — comfortable working with Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and Service teams
• Excellent communication skills, with experience leading formal technical and design reviews
• Experience mentoring or coaching other engineers
