What you’ll be doing:

• Lead and mentor a team of Electrical Engineers and Designers; assign tasks and provide technical and professional guidance. 
• Contribute to hands-on design and testing of electronics (schematics and PCB layout) for the brand's products. 
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Optical, Mechanical, and Software engineering teams to ensure cohesive and robust system architectures. 
• Support global product deployment by ensuring all systems and FRUs (Field Replaceable Units) meet regulatory certification requirements. 
• Participate in headcount planning, budgeting, and long-term product roadmap discussions. 
• Oversee sustaining engineering efforts, ensuring continuity and quality in existing product lines. 
• Evaluate team resource allocation and progress; optimize workflows to meet deadlines and quality standards. 
• Drive continuous improvement of the electrical product development process. 
• Coordinate with vendors to ensure compliance with the brand's specifications and quality expectations. 
• Own, create, and maintain design documentation, including specs, design reviews, and BOMs. 
• Propose and evaluate alternative designs to maintain leadership in cinema technology. 
• Provide engineering support to Procurement, Quality, Manufacturing, Installation, and Technical Services. 

Challenges you’ll be facing:

• Balance hands-on design work with team leadership and mentoring. 
• Navigate global supply chain challenges, including component shortages and obsolescence. 
• Lead efforts to ensure global certification and regulatory compliance for all electrical components. 
• Prioritize tasks based on business impact; effectively triage incoming requests. 
• Drive consensus through negotiation and cross-functional alignment. 
• Maintain rigorous safety standards, especially for high-voltage systems and high-brightness light sources. 
• Collaborate with the Laser Safety Officer to ensure lab and field safety. 
• Identify and resolve inefficiencies in the product development lifecycle. 

What we’re looking for: 

• 7–10 years of hands-on experience in electrical design for consumer or industrial-grade products. 
• Minimum 3 years in an engineering leadership role. 
• 5+ years of design experience using Altium (or equivalent ECAD software). 
• Strong experience in advanced digital design; analog design preferred. 
• Proficiency in debugging and validation tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, SPICE simulations). 
• Familiarity with thermal design; simulation experience (heat/airflow) is a plus. 
• Experience with regulatory certification processes for global products. 
• Highly skilled in time management and multitasking. 
• Proven ability to evaluate and develop engineering talent. 
• P.Eng designation is highly desirable. 
• Experience with video/image processing (FPGA/GPU pipelines) is a plus 
• Experience with component obsolescence tools (eg, Silicon Expert) is a plus 
• Experience with image compression standards (H.264, etc.) is a plus. 
• Basic understanding of high-power laser systems, opto-mechanical design, and embedded software. 
• Strong documentation and communication skills. 
• Familiarity with formal design and development processes.
