Senior Electrical Engineer II, Video

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon were on a mission to Protect Life. Were explorers pursuing societys most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products we work better together. We connect with candor and care seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced challenging and meaningful. Here youll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

As a lead electrical engineer for Axons next-generation video hardware you will own the electrical architecture and lead end-to-end technical execution from concept through mass production. This is a deeply hands-on Individual Contributor role requiring direct engagement in design bring-up validation debug and issue resolution while also providing clear technical leadership across internal teams and third-party design partners. You will be accountable for electrical design decisions integration quality and technical risk retirement from concept through production ensuring the hardware meets aggressive goals for performance power size weight reliability and manufacturability. Your technical depth urgency and ownership will directly shape the hardware that officers rely on every day in the field.

What Youll Do

• Define and drive the hardware architecture including SoC/application processor selection system partitioning interface definition power architecture and subsystem integration strategy.
• Lead the development and integration of complex embedded mixed-signal hardware spanning application processors/SoCs memory power delivery and battery systems audio sensors wired interfaces and wireless subsystem integration.
• Personally lead critical hands-on electrical work including schematic design board bring-up subsystem validation root-cause debug characterization and closure of key technical issues.
• Drive system-level electrical tradeoffs across performance power battery life thermal behavior mechanical packaging EMI/EMC reliability manufacturability and schedule; identify unstated requirements integration gaps and technical risks early.
• Provide technical direction to internal engineers and third-party design partners reviewing key design outputs to ensure alignment with product requirements architecture intent engineering standards and program milestones.
• Work closely with PCB layout engineers to drive floorplanning placement stack-up direction layout review and physical implementation quality for dense high-performance embedded designs.
• Develop validation strategies and personally engage in lab testing characterization and debug using oscilloscopes logic analyzers spectrum analyzers power analyzers multimeters electronic loads and custom test fixtures.
• Partner closely with firmware RF mechanical systems product test NPI quality manufacturing and supply chain teams to drive robust integration and strong cross-functional execution.
• Own electrical issue triage and resolution across prototype builds validation regulatory activities and production ramp.
• Lead electrical design reviews establish engineering standards and best practices and provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers through direct technical leadership and strong execution.

What Youll Bring

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline advanced degree preferred.
• 10 years of industry experience in electronics design with deep experience in high-performance battery-powered size- and weight-constrained embedded products such as body cameras action cameras or mobile communications devices.
• Demonstrated experience serving as the technical owner or electrical lead for a complex hardware product with responsibility spanning electronics architecture design integration verification and issue closure from concept through production.
• Proven success leading development of compact embedded systems where electrical design decisions must balance performance power battery life thermal limits mechanical packaging reliability manufacturability and schedule.
• Hands-on experience developing highly integrated embedded hardware systems including SoC/application processor integration memory power and battery systems audio sensors high-speed interfaces and wireless subsystem integration.
• Deep experience with high-speed interface definition integration and debug including technologies such as LPDDR UFS USB3.x MIPI Ethernet SerDes or similar interfaces.
• Demonstrated experience with wireless subsystem integration including effective collaboration with RF engineering on technologies such as Wi-Fi Bluetooth Cellular and GNSS.
• Expertise in power system design and optimization for battery-powered products including switch-mode and linear regulators sequencing measurement and low-power design techniques.
• Exceptional hands-on proficiency in board bring-up lab characterization troubleshooting and root-cause debug using oscilloscopes logic analyzers spectrum analyzers power analyzers multimeters power supplies electronic loads and custom test setups.
• Proven track record providing technical leadership to internal engineers and external design partners delivering high-quality electrical designs maintaining alignment to architecture intent and closing technical issues effectively.
• Proficiency guiding PCB layout for dense embedded hardware including layout direction review optimization and release to fabrication; experience with OrCAD/Cadence and Allegro tools is preferred.
• Experience designing testing and debugging products for regulatory compliance such as FCC CE IEC or similar standards.
• Excellent communication documentation and technical presentation skills.
• This role requires a hands-on electrical leader who is comfortable personally engaging in critical lab work design validation and technical issue resolution not solely directing the work of others.
