Lead Engineer - Systems Engineer

Overview

Lead the design, development, architecture, integration, verification and lifecycle support of complex electronic products and subsystems, drawing on mixed-signal electronics, embedded processing, power and battery systems, wireless technologies and communication interfaces.

What you'll do

• Lead electrical hardware development end-to-end, from requirements and architecture through detailed design, prototyping, verification, qualification, production release and lifecycle support.
• Translate system and product requirements into electrical requirements, architectures, interfaces and design specifications, ensuring effective requirements flow-down, traceability and verification.
• Design and technically review complex electronic hardware, including mixed-signal, analogue, embedded digital, processor/SoC, power, battery/charging, communication and high-speed interface circuits, including component selection, schematic design and PCB development.
• Lead system-level engineering trade-offs across performance, EMC/EMI, signal and power integrity, thermal performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, testability, serviceability and cost, with proactive identification and mitigation of technical risks.
• Lead hardware integration, board bring-up, debugging, characterisation and verification, applying structured root-cause analysis to resolve complex board, subsystem and product-level technical issues.
• Lead wireless hardware design, development and integration for technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/BLE, including RF architecture/interface design, wireless module/chipset selection, antenna integration, RF layout considerations, regulatory constraints and hardware/firmware interfaces.
• Drive design quality, reliability and compliance through technical/design reviews, DFMEA, tolerance and worst-case analysis, component derating, risk assessments, design-change impact analysis and robust verification strategies.
• Own Installed Base and product-lifecycle engineering, including field and manufacturing investigations, CAPA support, reliability improvements, component obsolescence, alternate-part qualification, engineering changes and VCP/design-to-value initiatives.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Sourcing and suppliers on DFM/DFT, production testing, yield improvement, supplier transfers, second sourcing, component roadmaps and resolution of manufacturing and supplier-related technical issues.
• Contribute to future product and platform architecture through Advanced Technology Development (ATD), technology roadmaps, platform reuse, standardisation and development of scalable and reusable hardware/system solutions.
• Provide strong technical leadership by independently owning complex deliverables, mentoring engineers, leading cross-functional technical decisions, communicating risks and trade-offs effectively, and leveraging AI-enabled engineering tools to improve engineering quality and productivity.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in electrical/electronic product design and development, with demonstrated ownership of a product, platform or major subsystem.
• Strong hands-on expertise in mixed-signal, analogue, embedded digital, processor/SoC, power, battery/charging and communication circuit design.
• Strong experience in component selection, schematic design, PCB development, board bring-up, integration, testing, debugging and structured root-cause analysis.
• Knowledge and hands-on experience with wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, UWB or other short-range wireless technologies, including hardware integration, RF interfaces, antenna considerations, coexistence and wireless performance evaluation.
• Good understanding of EMC/EMI, signal and power integrity, RF/wireless design considerations, electrical safety, thermal design, reliability, component derating and PCB design principles.
• Experience taking hardware through the complete product lifecycle, including requirements flow-down, architecture/design, verification and qualification, manufacturing transfer, engineering changes and lifecycle support, with demonstrated Systems Engineering and product-level thinking.
• Strong technical leadership, independent ownership, troubleshooting and communication skills, with the ability to debug complex hardware, wireless connectivity and system-integration issues and work effectively across global teams, suppliers and manufacturing partners.

Nice to have

• Experience developing medical devices, medical electrical equipment or other regulated, safety-critical or high-reliability products.
• Familiarity with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-25, DFMEA, risk management, tolerance/worst-case analysis and reliability engineering.
• Practical experience in wireless product development and debugging, including RF performance evaluation, antenna integration, link-quality/range issues, interference and coexistence, connectivity failures and hardware/firmware interaction.
• Experience with Installed Base support, CAPA, field investigations, VCP/design-to-value, component obsolescence, alternate-part qualification, and contribution to hardware/system architecture, ATDs or platform development.
• Exposure to BLE/Wi-Fi-enabled products, battery technologies, embedded computing platforms, hardware-related cybersecurity and AI-assisted engineering tools/workflows.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve problems.
• Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs.
• Established project management skills.
