TL;DR · Principal Systems Integration Engineer

The Principal Systems Integration Engineer joins the Access Control Division to develop modern access control and automation technology for physical environments. This role involves defining technical requirements for new products, ensuring electrical and firmware architectures support cloud and mobile features. You will conduct rapid prototyping and R&D to build proof-of-concepts, perform initial board bring-up, and validate hardware-software interfaces. Key responsibilities include debugging system-level issues using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, and cloud teams. The position requires a bridge skillset in Electrical Engineering and Firmware, with proficiency in C, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or Debian Linux. You will manage technical partners in Asia to oversee design execution for distributed systems, hardware-adjacent software, and high-availability cloud services within the physical-meets-digital systems domain.

What you'll do

  • Define technical requirements for new products to align electrical and firmware architectures with cloud and mobile features.
  • Build proof-of-concept prototypes to validate architectural assumptions during the early design cycle.
  • Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, industrial design, cloud, and mobile teams to ensure cohesive system design.
  • Oversee design execution with manufacturing partners in Asia to ensure architectural standards are met.
  • Perform initial board bring-up and hardware/software interface validation on early prototypes.
  • Use bench tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to debug system-level issues and optimize power performance.

What we're looking for

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Legal authorization to work in the U.S. indefinitely.
  • 3+ years of engineering experience.
  • Professional background that bridges both Electrical Engineering and Firmware.
  • Experience writing functional proof-of-concept code in C to test hardware features and communication protocols like I2C, SPI, and BLE.
  • Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or Debian Linux (preferred).
  • Ability to translate high-level product requirements into specific hardware and firmware constraints.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to explain hardware constraints to software developers and vice versa.
