Duration : 12 Months +

Payrate Range :   $100-122/HR on W2

• As the new technology investigation team, we take risks and challenges more than all other teams. We welcome candidates who have shipped and appreciate high quality product/technologies, while also like to challenge the status quo and their own skills to the next level.
• Work on industry leading XR products is about to ship.
• Opportunity to shape and enable future XR roadmaps.
• This role is for do-ers.
• A lot of opportunities to build early prototypes while we also do a lot of joint development with our partners.
• Review and approve plan layout, including creating new designs and modifications of existing designs.
• Review and approve product prototypes, working models or theoretical models constructed with computer simulation.
• Write detailed functional specifications and design flow/tradeoff.
• Support new technology introduction.
• Act as a subject matter expert to engineering staff and consult specifications to evaluate interface between hardware and software and operational and performance requirements of overall system.
• Provide training and support to system designers and users.
• Design and develop hardware and support peripherals, including system-on-chip (SoC), support logic, microprocessors, custom integrated circuits, and system interconnection.
• Direct technicians, engineering designers or other technical support personnel as needed.
• Candidates will be evaluated based on their deliverables in hardware design and prototype builds, as well as documentation and communications with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities:

• Designing schematics, completing board layouts, assembling, testing, debugging, and integrating designs into electro-mechanical systems.
• Collaborating in a team environment across engineering disciplines.
• Transforming vendor reference designs into custom solutions.
• Transforming ambiguous requests and vendor reference designs into working custom solutions.
• Incubating new technologies into research prototypes.

Skills:

• Good EE fundamentals.
• High density Rigid/flex board design and system integration experience.
• Hands on lab skills. Rapid prototyping with what's available. Can-do attitude.
• Ability to drive projects with high ambiguity, multiple paths, and fuzzy future to clarity.
• Understanding of core tech areas, such as SoC, sensor, wireless, audio, display, interfaces (USB, MIPI, PCIE, SPI, I2C). Capable of designing, bringing up and evaluating projects from those areas.
• Embedded software basics. Comfortable in looking into software log/code.
• Use automation to help team improve project quality, as well as scale to more projects.
