Senior Hardware (Electrical) Engineer

Key Responsibilities:
Lead the design, development, and optimization of complex hardware systems, including PCBs, power systems, and embedded components for high-performance applications.
Define hardware specifications, architecture, and interfaces to ensure seamless integration with software and system-level goals.
Work with cross-functional teams (software, firmware, optical, signal processing) to define requirements and guide the system-level integration of hardware components.
Responsible for advanced optical module and optical circuit switch system and circuit design, provide design reviews, drive system/product design trade-offs, make data driven design choices to define product architecture
Define and execute comprehensive test plans for hardware validation, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level performance testing.
Troubleshoot hardware-related issues and support debugging of complex hardware systems to ensure product readiness.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level hardware engineers, guiding them in hardware design practices and problem-solving techniques.
Act as a key liaison between engineering teams to resolve cross-disciplinary issues and support system integration efforts.
Document hardware designs, specifications, test procedures, and results to ensure traceability and compliance with industry standards.

Qualification:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. PhD is a plus.
