Design & Development

• Lead the design, modeling, and simulation of embedded electrical systems.
• Develop embedded low to high-density circuit cards and power/signal conversion systems.
• Architect embedded system platforms including power regulation and digital communication subsystems.
• Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance requirements (safety and EMC).

Technical Leadership

• Direct technical design reviews and define electrical system requirements.
• Own electrical architecture decisions from concept through production.
• Drive technology to align with new product roadmaps.
• Provide technical oversight during prototype builds, regulatory testing, and production ramp.
• Interface with supplier management for vendor qualification and support on product launch.
• Provide sustainment for existing hardware products.

Analysis, Compliance & Simulation

• Perform advanced electrical analysis using simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, CAD platforms).
• Validate signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC performance, and system robustness.
• Design to and ensure compliance with: IEC 62368 safety standards, FCC and CE EMC requirements and ESD immunity and discharge protection standards.
• Support pre-compliance and formal certification testing, including documentation and remediation.

Problem Solving & Validation

• Lead failure analysis and root cause investigations.
• Troubleshoot complex system-level issues in lab and field environments.
• Diagnose EMI, ESD, grounding, and safety-related issues.
• Implement corrective actions and drive continuous product improvement.

Mentorship & Collaboration

• Mentor and guide junior engineers in best practices and design methodology.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, compliance, and quality teams.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for stakeholders and executive leadership.

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.

Experience

• 10+ years of relevant experience in electrical system design, development, or testing.
• Demonstrated experience taking products from concept through NPI and production release.
• Experience supporting regulatory certification and compliance testing.

Qualifications

Technical Expertise

• Deep knowledge of embedded system architecture.
• Strong experience with: High-speed digital design, Power regulation and conversion systems and High-density PCB layout constraints.
• Proficiency with CAD and schematic capture tools (e.g., Altium Designer).
• Experience with advanced simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, and related analysis software).
• Expertise in digital communication interfaces including: RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet and USB.

Regulatory & Compliance Knowledge

• Strong working knowledge of: IEC 62368 safety standard, FCC Part 15 and CE EMC requirements and ESD design and immunity standards.
• Experience designing for EMI mitigation, grounding strategies, shielding, filtering, and surge protection.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in regulated industries (gaming, medical, telecom, industrial, etc.).
• Experience leading compliance testing and interacting with certification bodies.
• Background in system-level power distribution and protection design.
• Experience mentoring engineering teams.
• Familiarity with manufacturing validation and production support processes.
• Experience with gaming, electronic table games (ETG), or casino hardware systems is a strong plus.

Key Competencies

• Strong analytical and systems-level thinking.
• Technical leadership and architectural ownership.
• Deep understanding of compliance-driven design.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
• Clear technical communication across disciplines.
• Ownership mindset with ability to drive projects to completion.
