At Cisco Meraki, we know technology can connect, empower, and drive us. By simplifying powerful technology, we can free passionate people to focus on their mission. As the fastest-growing cloud-managed networking team in the world, our products and technology architecture are changing the face of enterprise networking and making cloud-managed IT a reality.

We are seeking an electrical engineering technical leader with experience in camera development to help build the future Meraki Vision (MV) hardware.

Our Hardware Engineers lead multiple products and control every aspect of hardware creation. They are the principal architects of our hardware products. They will touch each part of a program by guiding decisions in industrial design, sourcing, test development, packaging, detailed design, etc. From green light to sustaining hand-off, the Hardware Engineer’s sphere of influence and responsibility touches nearly all aspects of development.

Join our high-impact team and work with every part of the machine that brings the Meraki Magic to market!

You Will

  • Develop architecture, author user documentation, and lead engineering partner teams for our new Smart Camera portfolio
  • Validate and iterate on layout and schematics. Own technical reviews and approvals
  • Develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and quality processes
  • Drive innovation across the MV portfolio, including but not limited to: System/Board Design Circuit Board Layout, Hardware Automation, Validation and Test, Signal Integrity, and Power Design
  • Build and supervise product schedules through NPI, coordinating with ME, sourcing, packaging, certification, and quality teams. Provide technical guidance as needed
  • Lead our JDM partner’s engineering and PM teams
  • Interface and collaborate with firmware resources
  • Work with product management, supply chain, and marketing to coordinate launch plans
  • Collaborate with quality and sourcing through sustaining production. Lead FA as the need arises

Example Projects

  • A power test reveals poor efficiency in a DCDC converter used for a primary voltage rail. This person in the Hardware Engineering role collaborates with the Meraki sourcing team to meet the power device vendor and finds that a newer, cheaper, and more efficient part is about to be released. They will also kick off design updates while the sourcing team member arranges enough sample parts for the next build. During new design testing, efficiency is improved and additional thermal headroom is gained
  • Sourcing team members have collected roadmap and technology updates from several lens and sensor partners. As a Hardware Engineer, this person will weigh the performance, features, cost, and compatibility of upcoming parts and builds a menu of potential configurations for the next generation of Meraki MV Smart Cameras. After selecting primary candidates, this person works with the JDM partner to build a proof-of-concept device and begins early concept qualification. After achieving high confidence in product viability, the program is greenlit and the NPI process begins
  • Mockups for a new camera model are showing IR light reflecting off a cosmetic design feature back into the lens and as a result, are causing degraded image quality. This person meets with the ID team to define which cosmetic aspects are the most important. They will then sketch out a few ideas to address the issue. Together, the group brainstorms a few variations on the idea to try. Mockups are built and tested to find successful elimination of the IR reflection, and the new design is updated for the next NPI build

You Have

  • End-to-end development on products of reasonable complexity - the more, the better!
  • Technical EE responsibility and ownership for system-level design
  • Technical program management experience
  • Designed and developed camera technologies
  • Ability to collaborate with CAD, BSP, Power, Mechanical, Signal integrity, and Manufacturing teams
  • BS and/or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Experience working with Asia-based partners
  • Able to travel up to 20% to Taiwan and China
  • Familiarity with the JDM and/or CM working model
  • Cultural competence and understanding of Taiwanese and Chinese culture

Highly Desired

  • Extensive experience building hardware products that include camera technologies
  • Deep understanding of CMOS image sensor operation and system design
  • Knowledgeable with optics, have participated in lens selection and qualification
  • Experience with sophisticated camera production methodologies such as active alignment
  • Have worked with embedded IoT or Mobile SoCs with dedicated ISP blocks
  • Experience with computer vision and AI co-processors
  • Have worked alongside image quality teams and participated in video image tuning qualification
