Responsibilities:

As a Staff Systems Engineer on the EagleEye team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the performance and power characteristics of our cutting-edge AR wearable products. Your day-to-day will span from architectural definition through to execution, requiring a hybrid skillset bridging hardware and software. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Lead the evaluation and selection of next-generation silicon architectures by collaborating closely with Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs), providing critical technical feedback on their silicon designs.
• Partner with Platform Software Engineers to drive system-level optimizations for power, performance, and latency across the entire product stack.
• Conduct in-depth analysis and optimization of battery life and thermal design power tradeoffs to deliver a comfortable, long-lasting, and high-performing wearable experience.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for system power efficiency and performance from initial concept through to final product deployment.
• Perform deep-dive root cause analysis for complex system performance and power issues, identifying solutions, and independently prioritizing efforts based on customer needs and engineering risk.
• Develop and implement rigorous profiling methodologies to identify bottlenecks and areas for optimization at various system levels.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, product, and other engineering teams to integrate solutions and ensure holistic system success.
• Contribute to defining architectural requirements and specifications, translating product vision into technical execution.

Required Experiences:

• 10+ years of experience in system-level power and performance engineering, with a strong focus on System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures.
• Deep understanding of silicon chip architectures, including CPU, GPU, DSP, and memory subsystems, and how they interact to impact overall system performance and power.
• Proven expertise in SoC performance tuning, optimization techniques, and power management strategies.
• Proficiency with industry-standard system profiling tools and methodologies, especially within Android operating environments and on Qualcomm chipsets.
• Strong command of lower-level software, including kernel and driver analysis, and a solid understanding of operating system concepts.
• Experience finding and solving complex hardware and software engineering problems independently, while effectively balancing customer needs with technical risks.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Eligibility to receive and maintain a United States security clearance.

Nice-to-Have Experiences:

• Experience with Microcontrollers (MCUs) or sensor aggregation architectures, including Digital Signal Processors (DSPs).
• Familiarity with various sensor types and their integration into low-power, high-performance embedded systems.
• Prior experience working with Augmented Reality wearable devices or other ultra-low-power consumer electronics.
