Job Title: Sr. Hardware Engineering Lead
Location: Agoura Hills, CA
Duration: 12 month (Temp to Perm)
Payrate: $85 to $135 per hour

Job Description:
As a Hardware Engineering lead, you'll supervise a team of talented design engineers, spearheading the development, prototyping, and testing of digital instrumentation. You'll work cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineering to design high-quality, state-of-the-art test and measurement instruments. Your guidance will be crucial in meeting project goals, improving processes, and ensuring product reliability. This role requires a blend of project management and technical expertise, with a strong foundation in digital circuit design.

Responsibilities:
Team Leadership & Development
  • Lead and mentor a team of hardware engineers, providing technical guidance and architectural direction.
  • Foster a collaborative and innovative work environment.
  • Set clear goals and performance expectations, manage team dynamics, and ensure high levels of engagement and productivity.
  • Conduct regular performance reviews, offer constructive feedback, and identify opportunities for professional growth.
Hands-On Engineering
  • Actively contribute to the design, development, and testing of PCBs and PCBAs, with a focus on high-quality, reliable designs.
  • Oversee PCB layout, schematic design, and component selection to ensure designs meet performance and manufacturability standards.
  • Participate in defining the strategic direction of digital instrumentation.
Project Management
  • Oversee hardware development projects from concept to production, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met while maintaining high quality.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., firmware, software, and mechanical engineering) to ensure alignment and smooth project execution.
  • Provide regular updates to senior management on project status, risks, and mitigation strategies.
  • Collaborate on schedule development and resource planning, supporting timely project delivery
Process Improvement & Innovation
  • Identify areas for improvement in hardware design, testing, and manufacturing processes, and implement best practices to enhance product quality and engineering efficiency.
  • Stay current with emerging hardware technologies, industry trends, and testing methodologies, and apply them to improve team capabilities and product offerings.
Customer Focus & Quality Assurance
  • Ensure that products meet or exceed customer requirements, industry standards, and regulatory compliance.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware-related issues in collaboration with the quality assurance and operations teams.

Must Have:
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in hardware engineering, with a strong background in digital circuit instrument design.
  • 5+ years in a leadership role, ideally in a player/coach capacity requiring both technical contribution and team lead.
  • Strong understanding of electrical and electronic principles, circuit design, and signal integrity.
  • Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc.).
  • Knowledge of industry standards and best practices related to hardware design, testing, and quality assurance.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage teams, collaborate cross-functionally, and communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to challenges
  • Ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining high standards of work.
  • Experience with high-speed PCB design and complex multi-layer designs.
  • Strong understanding of SERDES technology and protocols (e.g., PCIe, 100G Ethernet).
