Lead Electrical Engineer

Description:

Join our team as a Lead Electrical Engineer to architect and execute the design of Videology's next-generation industrial-grade embedded imaging systems. This is a senior-level, hands-on role that combines system-level architecture with schematic PCB design. You'll architect and develop high-speed, reliable electronic systems including image signal processors, high-speed digital interfaces, and image sensors. You will also guide contributions from internal and external teams, overlooking quality and consistency across global design workflows.

Please Note:

This is a senior-level position requiring 10+ years of experience in hardware system design and PCB development. Applicants without substantial hands-on design experience will not be considered.

Key Responsibilities:

Architect embedded hardware platforms that integrate image sensors and processors, DDR memory, Ethernet, MIPI, SPI, I2C, and FPGAs Design and develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer, taking ownership of critical board development Define system architecture, PCB stack-ups, interface specifications, and signal/power integrity strategies Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC, DFM/DFT, thermal, and environmental standards for industrial-grade performance Review and guide the work of internal engineers, contractors, and offshore teams to ensure alignment with architectural direction Collaborate with firmware and software teams to define interfaces, bring-up procedures, and debug strategies Conduct hands-on validation using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers Lead hardware design reviews, establish standards and checklists, and support continuous improvement in design processes Mentor junior engineers and foster knowledge sharing across the organization

Requirements:

Core Qualifications Experience:

10+ years total, with substantial experience in schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware system architecture

Education:

Bachelor's or Master's in

Electrical or Electronics Engineering Location:

Mansfield, MA (on-site position, no remote option)

Tools:

Altium Designer (expert-level), basic Embedded C (for board bring-up/debug) Technical Requirements Proven track record designing and delivering high-speed digital boards (Ethernet, DDR, MIPI, SPI, FPGA) Expertise in signal integrity, power distribution, stack-up optimization, and thermal design Expertise in EMI/EMC compliance and familiarity with FCC/CE and IPC standards Ability to architect systems, then personally implement and validate key parts of the design Hands-on experience with lab equipment for hardware validation, debugging, and rework Comfortable writing and maintaining technical documentation, interface specs, and design rules Preferred Qualifications Experience with camera electronics and optics integration Exposure to wireless or RF design Familiarity with product lifecycle support and sustaining engineering practices Heatsink, enclosure, and mechanical design insights
