Our solutions foster the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future.

• →Architectural Definition: Define technical requirements for new products, ensuring electrical and firmware architectures are aligned to support cloud and mobile features.
• →Rapid Prototyping & R&D: Conduct "scrappy" firmware and hardware tests to validate architectural assumptions. You’ll build proof-of-concepts to answer the "Can we do this?" questions early in the design cycle.
• →Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with our electrical design team in Culver City and coordinate with Mechanical, Industrial Design, Cloud, and Mobile teams to ensure a cohesive system design.
• →Technical Partner Management: Collaborate with our CM and JDM partners in Asia to oversee design execution and ensure our architectural standards are met during development.
• →System Bring-up: Perform initial board bring-up and hardware/software interface validation on early prototypes.
• →Hardware Validation: Use bench tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to debug system-level issues and optimize hardware for power and performance.

• Bridge Skillset: A professional background that touches both Electrical Engineering and Firmware. You should be able to read a schematic as easily as you write C code.
• Scrappy Prototyping: Experience writing functional, "proof-of-concept" code in C to test hardware features and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, BLE, etc.).
• Coding: Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of FreeRTOS or Zephyr or Debian Linux is helpful
• Systems Thinking: Ability to translate high-level product requirements into specific hardware and firmware constraints.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; you must be able to explain hardware constraints to software developers and vice versa.
• International Collaboration: Willingness to travel to Asia 1–2 times per year and occasionally join evening syncs with overseas partners.
• Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
