System Electrical Domain Architect - San Jose, CA, United States
$177,000 - $265,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 22 July 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 21 September 2026.
About the role
As the System Electrical Domain Architect, you define and steer system-level, domain-specific architectural direction and act as the decisive authority when domain performance, risk, and interface conflicts arise between sub-systems. You define end-to-end electrical system architecture across subsystems including power, SEM e-beam control, signal, safety, and EMC.
What you'll do
- Define end-to-end electrical system architecture across subsystems including power, SEM e-beam control, signal, safety, and EMC, translating system requirements into robust concepts and design principles. - Deliver system-level domain-specific SEG documents, define domain-specific PBS items, and provide technical input for design rules. - Perform electrical trade-offs and steer design decisions across modules and functions while mitigating technical and architectural risks early in the development cycle. - Align architectural requirements with MDU domain architects and technical leads to optimize work breakdown across SE and D&I teams. - Lead EMC-aware system design and root-cause analysis for complex electrical issues across development, industrialization, and field phases. - Ensure electrical system compliance with regulatory, internal, and customer standards, including NFPA, IEC, SEMI, CE, SEC common specifications, and customer p-specs.
What you'll need
- BS in engineering or a relevant technical field. - 10+ years of experience defining and realizing architecture within the electrical domain. - Proven experience as a Domain Architect responsible for a function across different sub-systems or business lines. - Proven capability defining end-to-end electrical architecture across subsystems covering power, SEM e-beam control, signal, safety, and EMC. - Expertise in grounding, shielding, signal and power integrity, and EMI mitigation techniques. - Knowledge of regulatory and internal compliance standards including NFPA, IEC, SEMI, and CE.
Nice to have
- MSc or PhD in a relevant technical field.
