Axon Senior Electrical Engineer II leading electrical architecture and execution for next-generation video hardware at Axon. Responsible for hands-on design, validation, and technical leadership from concept through mass production.
Responsibilities
As a lead electrical engineer for Axon’s 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.
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.
