About the role

Lead Electronics Engineer - Camera & FPGA-Based Consumer Electronics Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Lead Electronics Engineer to lead the design and development of advanced camera-based consumer electronic products utilizing high-speed digital electronics, based on SoC / FPGA technology, and image sensors. The successful candidate will be responsible for the complete electronic hardware development lifecycle, from concept through production, working closely with FPGA, firmware, mechanical, optical, software, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams.

Primary Responsibilities

• Define electronics architecture: collaborate with firmware and other cross functional teams on design considerations.
• Design complex, high-speed, multilayer PCBs utilizing SoCs, DDR.
• Conduct design reviews of other team members layout, considering design rules, clock tree, SI/PI, and EMI/EMC.
• Collaborate with Firmware team on FPGA integration including DDR, interfaces, and timing.
• Circuit design, schematic capture and reviews.

• Oversight and meticulous attention to symbols, footprints & all library management.
• Lead prototype bring-up, validation, debugging, and thermal testing.
• Support manufacturing with DFM, DFT, and yield improvement.
• Work with certification lab to ensure regulatory compliance (FCC, CE, UKCA, EMC, Safety, RoHS, CRA, RED).
• Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and program management.
