We are seeking a hands-on Senior Staff Hardware Engineer to join our growing Smart Care organization. In this highly technical role, you will help define, develop, and deliver next-generation smart hospital solutions for critical care environments, with a strong focus on camera and imaging sensor technologies.

You will provide technical leadership across the full hardware product lifecycle, working closely with internal cross-functional teams and Joint Design Manufacturer (JDM) partners to translate product concepts into robust, scalable, and manufacturable solutions., * Lead and execute end-to-end hardware development across the product lifecycle, from architecture and concept development through design, validation, production launch, sustaining, and end-of-life, with a primary focus on camera and imaging sensor systems.

• Provide technical leadership and direction to JDM engineering teams for board-level architecture, design, implementation, integration, and debugging.
• Review and provide technical guidance on hardware design collateral, including schematics, component selection, PCB layout, and design documentation.
• Develop clear and comprehensive hardware architecture, design requirements, interface specifications, and engineering documentation for internal and external development teams.
• Define and execute comprehensive hardware verification and validation plans at the board, subsystem, and system levels.
• Characterize, analyze, and optimize system and product-level performance, reliability, and robustness.
• Lead root-cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware and system-level issues, coordinating internal engineering teams, suppliers, and JDM partners.
• Partner closely with firmware, software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to ensure successful system integration, design transfer, production ramp, and product launch.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field, with 6+ years of direct product development experience involving camera or imaging systems, preferably taking products from concept through production.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with Joint Design Manufacturers (JDMs), Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), or external engineering partners throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Strong hardware design expertise involving camera modules, image sensors, processors/SoCs, displays, motors, and embedded electronic systems.
• Strong knowledge of hardware interfaces and protocols, including USB, HDMI, UART, Ethernet, and other high-speed and low-speed interfaces.
• Extensive PCB design, review, bring-up, and debugging experience, including multi-layer boards, fine-pitch BGAs, high-speed signal routing, power distribution, and complex board-level troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with prototype bring-up, functional verification, design validation, and manufacturing support, utilizing laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and network/interface test equipment.
• Strong understanding of system-level design considerations, including PCB and mechanical integration, thermal management, power architecture/conversion, signal integrity, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Proven ability to independently lead complex technical projects, operate effectively with evolving or ambiguous requirements, translate product needs into practical engineering solutions, and drive technical issues through resolution.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field
