Lead Electrical Engineer

What you'll do

• Own platform electrical architecture, including compute, sensors, power, RF, and signal and power integrity; lead schematic and flex/rigid-flex PCB design.
• Drive component selection, BOM and second-source strategy, electrical bring-up, validation, and manufacturing qualification with contract manufacturers.
• Build and lead the electrical engineering team as production scales.

What they ask for

• 10+ years designing complex consumer hardware and at least one shipped product in wearables, audio, mobile, or comparable hardware.
• Deep mixed-signal expertise across MCU systems, sensor AFEs, audio DSPs, image sensor interfaces, RF/wireless, and battery/charging.
• Hands-on SI/PI sign-off on flex and rigid-flex multi-island designs; experience architecting and validating multi-MCU communication buses.
• Shipped-product experience owning part selection, BOM and second-source strategy; hardware bring-up and firmware debug; and overseas CM relationships and DFM, DFT, and DFA from prototype through volume.

Nice to have

• EEG, ECoG, or other biopotential systems, especially high-channel-count or dense sensor arrays; low-power AI accelerator integration.
• Custom ASIC bring-up, silicon co-design, or in-array readout architectures; RF design for body-worn antennas and multi-radio coexistence; founding or lead experience at an early-stage hardware company.
