Senior Electronics Architect - USB-C Power Delivery & Charging Platform

We are seeking a senior electronics architect to help define the next-generation charging platform for an established commercial hardware product range. The project involves evolving an existing deployed charging platform rather than creating a completely new product from scratch. The initial engagement is an architecture review focused on charging systems, power management, USB-C Power Delivery (PD), scalability, and long-term platform strategy. This is NOT a consultancy-only engagement. The architecture review is intended as the first phase of a larger development project, and the successful candidate MUST be capable of supporting subsequent design, development, validation, and production activities. The objective is to establish the optimal platform architecture before schematic or PCB development begins. You will be expected to: • Review the existing architecture • Identify risks, opportunities, and alternative approaches • Recommend the optimal long-term charging and power architecture • Advise on USB-C PD implementation • Evaluate modular and future-proof design approaches Required experience: • USB-C Power Delivery (PD) • Commercial electronics products • Charging systems and power management • Product architecture and technical decision-making • Taking products from concept through to production Please provide: • Why you are a good fit for this project • Relevant USB-C PD experience • Your role in architecture decisions • Examples of products that entered production • Availability and typical rates Full technical details will be provided following initial review and NDA execution.
