LaBine and Associates
Senior Hardware/Electrical Engineer
Cupertino, CA Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Senior Hardware Engineer (Electrical Engineer) to lead allelectrical engineering activities for our access control hardware products. This rolerequires a seasoned professional who can design robust, compliant electrical systems thatperform reliably in demanding environments. You will work closely with our Senior MechanicalEngineer to deliver integrated hardware solutions, owning all aspects of electrical design fromcomponent selection through production validation. We are committed to building products that redefine access control through innovativehardware design and intelligent software integration. Join us in creating the future of secure,seamless access experiences. Key Responsibilities Own end-to-end electrical design for all access control hardware products, fromconcept through production Lead component selection and qualification based on performance, reliability, andcost optimization criteria Design and optimize PCB schematics and layouts for manufacturability, signalintegrity, and thermal performance Drive electrical Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives to ensure robust, scalableproduction processes Execute comprehensive electrical validation programs including functional,performance, and reliability testing Manage compliance activities including EMC testing, FCC certification, andinternational regulatory requirements Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering on integrated system design,thermal management, and mechanical constraints Conduct failure analysis and root cause investigations with statistical rigor anddocumented corrective actions Develop and execute validation plans with quantitative pass/fail criteria and statisticalquality thresholds Mentor junior engineers and establish electrical engineering best practices and designstandards Required Qualifications 7-10 years of electrical engineering experience in electronics product development Proven track record designing electrical systems for products deployed in diverse environmental conditions Advanced proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium Designer, KiCad, or equivalent) Strong background in analog and digital circuit design, power management, and signal integrity Experience with component selection including reliability analysis, qualification testing, and supply chain considerations Knowledge of EMC/EMI design principles and experience with compliance testing and certification processes Proficiency in electrical validation including automated test equipment, data acquisition, and statistical analysis Expertise in Design for Manufacturing including assembly processes, test strategies, and yield optimization Experience with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and firmware integration considerations Knowledge of power electronics including switching regulators, battery management, and thermal considerations Experience with failure analysis tools including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and thermal imaging High-speed digital design experience with DDR, USB, Ethernet, and other communication interfaces Camera and imaging system integration including sensor interfaces, optics, and image processing pipelines Project management experience with ability to coordinate multiple concurrent design projects Excellent communication skills for technical documentation and cross-functional collaboration Strong documentation skills for design reviews, compliance submissions, and technical specifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field Preferred Qualifications RF antenna design experience, including impedance matching, radiation patterns, andintegration challenges Wireless communication protocols experience (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular) andregulatory compliance Knowledge of cybersecurity considerations for connected devices and secure boot implementations Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field What We Offer Competitive Pay and Benefits to most companies in the area. Candidates may also beeligible for stock option grants.
