Job Description

Insight Global is looking for an Electrical Engineer to join one of the world's leading technology companies. This will be part of the Reality Labs organization which brings people around the world through next generation Augmented, Mixed, and Virtual Reality. The primary function of this role is a generalist Electrical Engineer supporting smart glasses case hardware development. Day-to-day work includes reviewing designs and schematics, evaluating PCB layouts, performing validation testing, and conducting failure analysis. The primary focus is hands-on lab work, executing detailed electrical measurements, troubleshooting, and system-level analysis to ensure hardware meets performance, reliability, and safety expectations. Key focus areas include power, battery, charging, and system-level measurements. The ideal candidate has strong EE fundamentals, hands-on lab skills, and experience in consumer electronics or wearables.

Job Responsibilities:
Own validation efforts for smart glasses case systems, including defining test plans, coverage, and pass/fail criteria.
Perform system-level electrical measurements and analysis across power rails, regulators, batteries, charging paths, and load behavior.
Execute lab debugging and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, power meters, DMMs, logic analyzers, and similar instrumentation.
Conduct failure analysis of electrical issues including component failures, battery degradation, charging anomalies, and system-level faults.
Review and evaluate PCB layouts, schematics, and designs — flag errors and suggest improvements.
Review and approve product prototypes, working models, or simulation-based models.
Write detailed functional specifications, test procedures, and design tradeoff documentation.
Support new technology introduction and NPI/manufacturing validation efforts.
Direct technicians, engineering designers, or other technical support personnel as needed.
Ensure compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards (e.g., EMC) and support certification activities.
Candidates will be evaluated based on deliverables in hardware validation, prototype builds, documentation quality, and cross-functional communication.

Pay range: $55-70/hr

Experience with high-density rigid/flex board design and system integration.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of driving issues to root cause.
Excellent documentation and communication skills.
Experience in consumer electronics, wearables, or similar highly integrated systems.
Familiarity with automated test systems and scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or similar).
Working knowledge of regulatory and safety considerations (EMC, safety, etc.).
Embedded software basics — comfortable reviewing software logs and code.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

Experience developing or maintaining validation methodologies for battery-powered wearable systems.
Experience creating automated characterization setups (power profiling, regression tests, long-run stability testing).
Experience supporting NPI/manufacturing validation and bridging lab results to production test strategies.
Experience with SoC bring-up, sensor integration, or wireless/audio/display subsystems.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
