Staff Engineer Electronics

Position Summary:

This position is for a Staff Electrical Engineer in the field of embedded electronic systems with focus on electronic hardware architecture, system integration, and component development for our dispenser products. The Staff Engineer will serve as a technical leader and subject matter expert, driving innovation, setting design standards, and mentoring other engineers.

While the role is primarily technical, it is also designed for an individual with leadership skills and the aspiration to move into a management role in the future. The ideal candidate is not only capable of solving complex engineering problems, but also of inspiring, guiding, and developing colleagues.

Position Responsibilities:
• Lead the architecture, design, and review of electronic hardware systems, including schematics and component selection.
• Provide guidance and oversight on PCB design/layout best practices (signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI, manufacturability), even if not performing layouts directly.
• Drive technical roadmaps for electronic hardware platforms and ensure scalability across product lines.
• Establish design guidelines, workflows, and tools for the electrical engineering team.
• Collaborate with global cross-functional teams (software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing) to align requirements and integration.
• Mentor junior and senior engineers, providing coaching, feedback, and leadership in design reviews.
• Demonstrate strong leadership qualities such as accountability, decision-making, and the ability to influence across teams.
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis of complex system-level issues (HW/SW/PCB interactions).
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and payment certification standards (e.g., PCI, EMC, UL).
• Support new product introduction by working closely with operations and manufacturing teams.
• Actively develop skills in people leadership and team management with the goal of transitioning into future management opportunities.
