Responsibilities
- Architectural Definition: Define technical requirements for new products, ensuring electrical and firmware architectures are aligned to support cloud and mobile features.
- Rapid Prototyping & R&D: Conduct "scrappy" firmware and hardware tests to validate architectural assumptions. You’ll build proof-of-concepts to answer the "Can we do this?" questions early in the design cycle.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with our electrical design team in Culver City and coordinate with Mechanical, Industrial Design, Cloud, and Mobile teams to ensure a cohesive system design.
- Technical Partner Management: Collaborate with our CM and JDM partners in Asia to oversee design execution and ensure our architectural standards are met during development.
- System Bring-up: Perform initial board bring-up and hardware/software interface validation on early prototypes.
- Hardware Validation: Use bench tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to debug system-level issues and optimize hardware for power and performance.
Qualification
- Bridge Skillset: A professional background that touches both Electrical Engineering and Firmware. You should be able to read a schematic as easily as you write C code.
- Scrappy Prototyping: Experience writing functional, "proof-of-concept" code in C to test hardware features and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, BLE, etc.).
- Coding: Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of FreeRTOS or Zephyr or Debian Linux is helpful
- Systems Thinking: Ability to translate high-level product requirements into specific hardware and firmware constraints.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; you must be able to explain hardware constraints to software developers and vice versa.
- International Collaboration: Willingness to travel to Asia 1–2 times per year and occasionally join evening syncs with overseas partners.
- Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Consistent with Motorola Solutions values and applicable law, we provide the following information to promote pay transparency and equity. Pay within this range varies and depends on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The actual offer will be based on the individual candidate.
- 3+ years of engineering experience
