Lead Electrical Engineer

Job Description

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:
