System Power Engineer, Consumer Devices

Responsibilities

• Define and develop power testing automation to evaluate system behavior across a range of workloads and operating conditions.
• Measure subsystem-level power consumption using power breakout probes and other lab instrumentation.
• Develop and execute power characterization tests spanning basic workloads, complex mixed-use scenarios, and representative day-of-use experiences.
• Partner closely with Electrical Engineers to identify opportunities to improve system power efficiency.
• Collaborate with software engineering teams to optimize energy usage in scenarios that impact battery life, device temperature, charging performance, and overall user experience.
• Define repeatable power benchmarks and measurement methodologies to assess launch readiness and track performance throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Experience measuring and optimizing power consumption on embedded hardware platforms.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating complex hardware-in-the-loop laboratories and orchestrating device testing at scale.
• Experience analyzing power profiles and correlating them with overall system performance.
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Electrical Engineering, embedded software, systems, and product teams.
• Experience defining repeatable power benchmarks and launch readiness metrics for hardware products.
• Strong proficiency in Python.

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with statistics, experimentation methodologies, or data science concepts.
• Experience performing subsystem-level power measurements using power breakout probes or similar lab instrumentation.
• Experience working with battery-powered consumer products and optimizing for battery life, thermals, and charging performance.
