Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer - Wireless/RF/EMC, who is a project-level technical leader responsible for the electrical and wireless technical outcomes of new product development and platform initiatives. The role leads the definition, architecture, integration, verification, and certification readiness of wireless and mixed-signal electrical systems, with particular emphasis on RF performance, antenna integration, wireless coexistence, signal and power integrity, and EMC/EMI risk. This engineer translates product and business needs into electrical and wireless technical strategies, aligns cross-functional teams on interfaces and technical risks, and drives evidence-based decisions from concept through production release. The position may serve as the Electrical Technical Lead or Functional Lead for a project, coordinating the work of multiple engineers and external partners without direct people-management responsibility. The role also develops reusable design practices, review methods, and technical guidance that improve quality and reduce recurring design and certification issues across projects.
Key Responsibilities:
- Implement the risk management.
- Define and decompose system, electrical, wireless, and regulatory requirements into robust product architectures and technical solutions.
- Lead the design, integration, verification, and release of wireless, RF, mixed-signal, and battery-powered electrical systems.
- Serve as a technical lead on cross-functional development projects, driving alignment across electrical, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and certification teams.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks related to RF performance, wireless coexistence, EMC/EMI, signal integrity, power integrity, reliability, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.
- Develop and review technical documentation, verification evidence, and design review materials to support product maturity, certification readiness, and production release.
- Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex technical issues affecting product performance, quality, certification, and manufacturing readiness.
- Establish and improve engineering standards, best practices, and reusable design approaches while mentoring and providing technical guidance to other engineers.
- Collaborate with customers, suppliers, certification agencies, and development partners to support successful product delivery and continuous improvement.
