We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here. 

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday and Wednesday, to work together in person, and teams can choose where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. SimpliSafe is at the forefront of the consumer home security market and we’re developing the next generation of products that will amaze our customers and drive our growth.

What You’ll Do

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to help lead the design and development of our next generation security systems, which integrate hardware (basestation, cameras, sensors), software, and firmware components. Your expertise will help to inform the system architecture and during development you will be responsible for component selection, schematic capture, layout, and bring-up of both development and final HW. The EE will also help drive future hardware requirements that meet our product vision. This includes consideration for features, SoC capabilities, power envelopes, RF performance, and solution cost. You’ll develop groundbreaking ideas for all parts of our systems, from sensors to comms, ensuring the highest standards of performance, reliability, and manufacturability. The ideal candidate will have a passion for understanding the customer and delivering outstanding user experiences, an expert grasp of electrical engineering, and deep experience working with consumer hardware products.

Primary Responsibilities Include:

  • Provide leadership for concept development  and design of electrical systems.
  • Identify and analyze the cross-functional tradeoffs between design alternatives, including impact on performance, schedule, cost, risk, complexity, and scale.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including ME, systems engineering, AI/ML, industrial design, and product management..
  • Drive the product development process from early-stage concept, through prototyping, testing, and production, to ensure products meet quality, cost, and schedule targets.
  • Oversee prototype development and testing, including designing test strategies to validate product performance and resolve issues.
  • Lead design reviews and work closely with suppliers and global manufacturing partners to optimize the design for mass production.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, sensors, and manufacturing processes to inform product design and innovation.
  • Influence product roadmaps.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers, helping them to develop their skills and advance their careers.
  • Drive programs forward with a reasonable sense of urgency. 

What You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Master’s degree a plus.
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience, with at least 4 years working on consumer products.
  • Strong schematic capture and PCB layout experience.
  • Experience in embedded systems design including design with UART, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, SDIO, MIPI, etc.
  • Comfort with embedded firmware (C, C++, Rust, etc.) is highly desirable, as is proficiency with python (or other scripting language) and the command line.
  • Experience with RF technologies including Sub-GHz, WiFi and BLE.
  • Knowledge of high-speed rules, PCB stackups up to 8 layers, and layout rules to mitigate EMI and experience with small pitch IC packages (i.e. BGA).
  • Optimizing designs for very low power usage (frequently < 1uA).
  • Proven experience leading the design and development of complex systems from concept to mass production.
  • Experience working together with product management to understand the data-driven “why” and to be the voice of the customer.
  • Experience working with global suppliers and manufacturing partners.
  • Strong communication, EQ, and leadership skills, with the ability to guide and mentor junior engineers.
  • Startup experience along with a scrappy “let’s just build it” philosophy is highly valued.

What Values You’ll Share

  • Customer Obsessed - Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
  • Aim High - Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
  • No Ego - Maintaining a “no job too small” attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
  • Lean & Nimble - Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.

What We Offer

We wholeheartedly embrace and actively seek applications from all individuals, no matter how they identify.

We want everyone who works here to thrive and contribute to not only our mission of keeping every home secure, but also to making our workplace safe and supportive for others.
