Systems Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: Systems Architect

Description

Lead and drive system technical designs and roadmaps for products and accessories that integrate across an ecosystem of connected devices. Oversee architectural and implementation trade-offs (including power and performance under thermal constraints), analyze hardware and data flows, and drive requirements from concept to execution. Collaborate with multi-discipline teams to decompose user experiences into enabling technologies and recommend end-to-end solutions.

Responsibilities

• Work with multi-discipline teams to design and launch new accessories and features
• Decompose user-facing features and functions into enabling technologies
• Lay out architectural options, analyze engineering trade-offs, and recommend approaches to meet product goals
• Understand existing technology portfolio, derive capabilities and cost functions, and construct an end-to-end product solution
• Define and author system-level feature descriptions and detailed functional requirements
• Shepherd product features from idea/concept through execution
• Review, influence, and challenge architectural trade-offs using data and novel ideas

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering or a similar field
• 10+ years of interdisciplinary engineering expertise related to consumer electronics or embedded systems (firmware, hardware/electrical, and/or mechanical)
• 5+ years developing consumer products from concept to production as a system integrator
• Solid understanding of hardware/software interaction and mechanical constraints
• Ability to develop and maintain product-specific system-level requirements/specifications for hardware, software/firmware, and mechanical subsystems
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, including producing concise engineering specifications and presenting to engineering leadership
• Ability to build relationships with cross-functional teams and exert effective influence
• Some international travel may be required

Benefits

• Collaborative product-focused team working on ecosystem-integrated accessories and features
• Opportunity to lead system architecture across hardware, software/firmware, and mechanical subsystems
