reality.We are seeking an electrical engineering technical leader
with experience in camera development to help build the future
Meraki Vision (MV) hardware.Our Hardware Engineers lead multiple
products and control every aspect of hardware creation. They are
the principal architects of our hardware products and will touch
each part of a program by guiding decisions in industrial design,
sourcing, test development, packaging, detailed design, and much
more. From green light to sustaining hand-off, the Hardware
Engineer's sphere of influence and responsibility touches nearly
all aspects of development.Join our high-impact team and work with
every part of the machine that brings the Meraki Magic to
market!You Will

engineering partner teams for our new Smart Camera portfolio.
- Validate and iterate on layout and schematics. Own technical
reviews and approvals.
- Develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and quality
processes.
- Drive innovation across the MV portfolio, including but not
limited to: System/Board Design, Circuit Board Layout, Hardware
Automation, Validation and Test, Signal Integrity and Power
Design.

- A power test reveals poor efficiency in a DCDC converter used
for a primary voltage rail. The Hardware Engineer works with the
Meraki sourcing team to meet the power device vendor and finds that
a newer, cheaper, and more efficient part is about to be released.
The Hardware Engineer kicks off design updates while the sourcing
team member arranges enough sample parts for the next build. During
new design testing, efficiency is improved and additional thermal
headroom is gained.
- The sourcing team has collected roadmap and technology updates
from several lens and sensor partners. The Hardware Engineer weighs
performance, features, cost, and compatibility of the upcoming
parts and builds a menu of potential configurations for the next
generation of Meraki MV Smart Cameras. After selecting primary
candidates, the Hardware Engineer works with the JDM partner to
build a proof-of-concept device and begins early concept
qualification. After achieving high confidence in product
viability, the program is green lit and the NPI process
begins.
- Mockups for a new camera model are showing IR light reflecting
off a cosmetic design feature back into the lens and causing
degraded image quality. The Hardware Engineer meets with the ID
team to define which cosmetic aspects are most important and
sketches out a few ideas to address the issue. Together, the group
brainstorms a few variations on the idea to try. Mockups are built
and tested to find successful elimination of the IR reflection, and
the new design is updated for the next NPI build.You Have
- End-to-end development on products of reasonable complexity -
the more, the better!
- Technical EE responsibility and ownership for system level
design.
