Senior Staff Hardware Engineer

Quick Facts

• Hybrid work

Description

Hands-on Senior Staff Hardware Engineer role leading end-to-end development of next-generation smart hospital hardware, with a strong focus on camera and imaging sensor systems. You will provide technical leadership across architecture, validation, production launch, sustaining, and end-of-life, partnering with cross-functional teams and JDM partners. The work includes board-level design direction, verification/validation planning, performance/reliability optimization, and root-cause resolution of complex hardware issues.

Role Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end hardware development from architecture and concept through design, validation, production launch, sustaining, and end-of-life (camera/imaging sensor systems focus)
• Provide technical leadership to JDM engineering teams for board-level architecture, design, implementation, integration, and debugging
• Review and advise on hardware design collateral: schematics, component selection, PCB layout, and design documentation
• Create hardware architecture, design requirements, interface specifications, and engineering documentation
• Define and execute hardware verification and validation plans at board, subsystem, and system levels
• Characterize and optimize system and product-level performance, reliability, and robustness
• Lead root-cause analysis for complex hardware/system issues, coordinating internal teams, suppliers, and JDM partners
• Partner with firmware, software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to support system integration, design transfer, production ramp, and launch

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field; 6+ years of product development experience involving camera or imaging systems (preferably concept-to-production)
• Demonstrated partnership experience with JDMs/ODMs/external engineering partners across the product development lifecycle
• Strong hardware design expertise: camera modules, image sensors, processors/SoCs, displays, motors, embedded electronic systems
• Knowledge of hardware interfaces/protocols: USB, HDMI, UART, Ethernet, and other high-speed/low-speed interfaces
• Extensive PCB design/review/bring-up/debugging experience: multi-layer boards, fine-pitch BGAs, high-speed routing, power distribution, board-level troubleshooting
• Hands-on prototype bring-up, functional verification, design validation, and manufacturing support using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network/interface test tools)
• Strong system-level design understanding: PCB/mechanical integration, thermal management, power architecture/conversion, signal integrity, reliability, manufacturability
• Proven ability to lead complex technical projects independently and resolve ambiguous requirements

Benefits

• Annual compensation range: $133,400–$222,300 USD
• Travel: 20%
