System Engineering Lead - Wired Networking Hardware, eero

As System Engineering Lead, you will drive the technical direction for our next-generation wired networking hardware. You will work with our Product team to align business requirements and industrial design with cost, manufacturability, and technical feasibility constraints. You'll collaborate with electrical engineers owning different hardware sub-systems (networking ASICs, Ethernet PHYs, PoE controllers, power, and SFP module interfaces) and ensure their successful integration into the overall system.

Working closely with mechanical engineers, you'll optimize component placement, thermal management, and reliability requirements for rack-mount and desktop form factors. You'll also partner with our software teams to ensure hardware capabilities are fully accessible to customers through simple setup and management interfaces. Drive hardware platform decisions, including selection and integration of networking ASICs, Ethernet PHYs, SFP module interfaces, PoE solutions, power architecture, and thermal management strategy

• Develop and maintain technical documentation across the wired networking product line, including hardware architecture documents, system functional specifications, and performance requirement specifications
• and regulatory compliance (EMI/EMC, safety)
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across multiple wired networking programs
• At eero, we're on a mission to make technology in homes just work.
