How you will do it
- Define and lead the hardware architecture for next-generation BAS controllers and related products.
- Architect solutions using MPU platforms such as NXP i.MX6, i.MX8, and i.MX9, and ARM-based microcontrollers.
- Apply modular design principles using industry-standard form factors such as OSM (Open Standard Module) and SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture).
- Design and review system-level architectures including I/O subsystems, power distribution, redundancy strategies, and hot-swappable modules.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, mechanical, compliance, manufacturing) to ensure cohesive product development.
- Develop and maintain hardware design documentation including block diagrams, interface definitions, and compliance matrices.
- Ensure designs meet regulatory and compliance standards (e.g., EMC/EMI, UL, CE, FCC).
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to hardware design teams across global locations.
- Support product lifecycle activities including new product introduction (NPI), sustaining engineering, and cost optimization (VA/VE).
- Interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure design intent and quality standards are met.
What you will do
Required
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 10+ years of experience in electronic hardware design, with at least 5 years in a lead or architect role.
- Industrial automation, or building automation systems (BAS) industry experience.
- Proven experience with embedded MPU platforms (i.MX6, i.MX8, i.MX9) and ARM-based MCU architectures.
- Strong knowledge of BAS networking protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and others.
- Experience with PLC-level architectures, including I/O design, redundancy, and hot-swappability.
- Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, Altium, or equivalent).
- Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and validation.
- Familiarity with regulatory compliance and certification processes (EMC/EMI, UL, CE, FCC).
- Experience with wireless communication modules including cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies.
Preferred
- Knowledge of cybersecurity considerations in embedded hardware design.
- Experience working with global engineering teams and contract manufacturers.
- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
