Lead end-to-end hardware architecture and execution for enterprise wireless router platforms. Drive system-level decisions across 5G, Wi‑Fi, memory, power, thermal, PCB/SI/PI, and manufacturing with JDM partners; mentor engineers and partner cross-functionally to deliver products from prototype through volume production.
Join our Team
We are seeking a Principal Hardware Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and technical execution of enterprise-class wireless router platforms. This role owns end-to-end hardware design decisions across cellular, Wi-Fi, high-speed digital, power, thermal, and regulatory domains, and serves as the technical authority for complex hardware programs delivered through JDM partners.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role that drives long-term hardware platform strategy across multiple product generations, requiring deep system knowledge, strong judgment, and the ability to balance performance, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and long-term supply risk.
