Electrical Engineer II

About SimpliSafe

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, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing 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.

What You'll Do:

Primary Responsibilities Include:

• Contribute to the full lifecycle design of security-focused products, from concept through production.
• Analyze cross-functional tradeoffs between design alternatives, including impact on performance, schedule, cost, risk, complexity, and scale, and raise them to senior engineers or leads.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical, firmware, industrial design, sourcing, and product management.
• Support the product development process from early-stage concept, through prototyping, testing, and production, helping ensure products meet requirements, cost, and schedule targets.
• Develop and execute prototype testing, including designing test strategies to validate product performance and help resolve issues.
• Participate in design reviews and discussions with suppliers and global manufacturing partners to help optimize designs for mass production.
• Flag resource or knowledge gaps to leads and engage the right subject-matter experts when needed.
• Support communication and design execution with global manufacturing partners.
• Contribute to the Technical Requirements Document in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Support product architecture and system-level design work, ensuring alignment with product requirements, performance goals, and cross-functional constraints.
• Translate system requirements into detailed, actionable tasks and deliverables for your own scope of work.
• Support risk identification and mitigation activities within your area of the program.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, sensors, and manufacturing processes to inform product design.
• Drive your own workstreams forward with a reasonable sense of urgency.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 2+ years of relevant industry experience, ideally including some exposure to consumer products.
• Familiarity with optimizing designs for battery operation with low power usage.
• Experience contributing to the design and development of complex systems, from concept toward mass production.
• Exposure to design validation planning, including test coverage across electrical, RF, connectivity, audio, or imaging subsystems.
• Ability to work effectively both as a systems-level contributor and as a hands-on technical contributor.
• Experience in embedded systems design, including design with UART, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, SDIO, MIPI, etc.
• Familiarity with RF technologies including Sub-GHz, WiFi, and BLE.
• Strong preference for candidates with a demonstrated bias for action.
• Travel: Willing to travel to our manufacturing partners in China 1-3 times per year
