Creates and executes on robust, scalable, secure, and extensible designs and/or verification plans for the electrical engineering aspects of moderately complex and well-defined products or features.
Reviews available supplier or partner products to make supplier or partner recommendations in support of product development, ensuring suppliers and partners adhere to strict security and governance standards.
Reads device specification sheets and interprets complex details required to design and test various hardware features.
Develops design documentation which could include drawings, specifications, schematics, or diagrams for products or features with some general guidance and feedback from other engineers.
Uses root cause analysis to identify complex problems or flaws that may affect a feature or product design change. Identifies possible solutions and brings them to the attention of other engineers or team leads.
Participates in simulation of a moderately complex components or subassemblies to ensure design is robust and to virtually test hardware features under different environments and/or conditions, leveraging approved tools and including security monitoring to detect potential violations.
Follows established procedures to create detailed reports and functional specifications for a well-defined product or product feature, based on audits and information from product development and verification processes while adhering to security-first guidelines and procedures.
Documents complex details about materials, components, and/or functionality for a device via accepted release processes and highlights potential compatibility or security issues. Accurately records and tracks changes to designs following established processes with minimal guidance.
Communicates project progress/status within the project team and escalates issues as necessary.
Identifies opportunities to affect downstream execution of projects by identifying issues and suggesting design tradeoffs within scope (e.g., performance vs. reliability and manufacturing concerns).
Coordinates a project implementation schedule to deliver the hardware engineering aspects of a moderately complex feature or product. Escalates issues to management as necessary.
Researches new tools, technologies, or processes for project implementation and provides recommendations to project team members as to which tool is appropriate.
Writes design verification test cases using standard templates and test methodologies, or creating new templates.
Documents the appropriate test requirements and improvements to be included in relevant hardware designs by applying an understanding of how moderately complex features or products work under a variety of customer scenarios. Includes security logging and audits as part of test requirements.
Uses data and statistical analyses to identify complex problems or flaws that may affect a feature or product design change, and ensures data handling adheres to security best practices and regulations. Identifies possible solutions and brings them to the attention of other engineers or team leads.
