Principal Electrical Engineer

Principal Electrical Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Engineer, Electrical Engineering to serve as a technical leader within our electronics organization. This role is ideal for a hands-on expert who leads through influence, deep expertise, and ownership of complex systems

You will play a critical role in shaping electrical and embedded system architecture, driving engineering excellence, and guiding cross-functional teams to deliver innovative consumer products from concept through high-volume production. This position requires a strong voice in technical decision-making, the ability to mentor informally, and a passion for building robust, scalable designs.

Key Responsibilities (Technical Leadership)

• Own and drive system-level architecture for electrical and embedded designs across multiple product programs.

• Act as a technical authority in power electronics and embedded systems, guiding design decisions and trade-offs.

• Lead by influence across cross-functional teams (ME, ID, Product, Manufacturing), ensuring alignment and strong execution.

• Drive engineering rigor and best practices in schematic design, PCB layout, firmware integration, and validation.

• Lead design reviews and technical deep dives, challenging assumptions and raising the bar for quality and innovation.

• Provide mentorship and guidance to engineers through collaboration, design reviews, and technical coaching.

• Identify risks early and drive resolution, ensuring product performance, reliability, and compliance.
• Champion DFM/DFT and scalable design principles, working closely with manufacturing and suppliers.

Technical & Program Responsibilities

• Design and develop consumer product electronics from concept through production and sustaining support.

• Contribute directly through schematic capture and PCB design oversight

• Support DVT (design verification testing), EMC, and regulatory compliance (UL, FCC, CE, IEC).

• Collaborate with Product Marketing and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.

• Lead prototype development, testing, and validation, including interpretation of results and design iteration.

• Support field issue investigation and root cause analysis, driving continuous product improvement.
• Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure high-quality, cost-effective implementations.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering with a strong track record at the senior/principal level

• Deep expertise in power electronics (AC/DC, motor control, thermal systems) and embedded systems design.

• Strong experience in analog and digital design, including schematic capture and PCB layout

• Proven ability to lead complex programs through influence, not authority.

• Experience delivering high-volume consumer products from concept to production.

• Strong understanding of DFM, DFT, and regulatory compliance.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to drive clarity across tea
