Hardware Systems Engineer / Technology Development Engineer

Derive clear, testable performance requirements from userlevel and ‑level and system needs; decompose into subsystem and component‑level needs; decompose into subsystem and component specs. Build analytical or simulation models (to predict performance and guide trade‑offs) through sensitivity analyses. Generate downselect criteria and decision frameworks. Establish and/or develop internal measurement capability; define golden fixtures, calibration procedures, and acceptance criteria. Technical lead for external lab and/or contractor engagement related to peripheral characterization and performance improvements BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field 6+ years in hardware systems, peripherals, or metrology/characterization roles. Proficiency in system modeling (e.g., MATLAB/Python), data analysis, and requirements decomposition. Hands‑on lab experience: test fixtures, automation, calibration, uncertainty analysis, GR&R. Demonstrated experience in at least two domains: audio, imaging, photometry, or sensing (eye tracking, IMU, depth, etc.) based on IEC, AES, or other domain-specific standards bodies Strong documentation and cross functional‑functional communication skills. Experience with direct development and commissioning of automated metrology + data pipeline Experience with wafer/package integration of sensor elements Statistical methods: DoE, R&R, SPC, tolerance stacks, Monte Carlo. Experience with 2nd or 3rd party laboratory and/or vendor management. Prior architectural trade studies that influenced technology downselects, preferably in highly power & space constrained architectures (Smartglasses, Edge devices)
