- Develop technical proposals encompassing system and hardware architecture based on product requirements.
- Lead the selection of key components like MCUs, FPGAs, and Power Management ICs, balancing cost, availability, and performance.
- Conduct critical design reviews (Architecture, Schematic, Layout, DFx) to ensure high-quality output.
- Design complex mixed-signal, analog, and digital circuits.
- Perform schematic capture and oversee or execute complex PCB layouts involving multi-layer boards, high-speed signals, and impedance control.
- Simulate and analyze circuits using tools like SPICE, CST, or Cadence Sigrity to validate designs before prototyping.
- Develop hardware verification plans and lead board bring-up, debugging, and characterization.
- Troubleshoot complex hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as FCC, CE, UL, and RoHS, and EMI/EMC requirements.
- Work closely with Firmware/Software and Mechanical Engineering teams to define hardware interfaces and manage thermal design.
- Manage JDM partner relationships and oversee the transition from EVT/DVT through to PVT and Mass Production.
- Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of experience in hardware design, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior technical role.
- Expert proficiency in either Altium Designer or Cadence Tools Suite.
- A strong background in at least one specialty area: Power electronics, high-speed digital design, RF, or embedded systems.
- Deep understanding of standard communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, and MIPI.
- Hands-on capability with soldering and lab equipment for debugging prototypes.
- Strong English written and verbal communication skills.
- Proven mentorship capabilities and a talent for elevating team technical skills.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with a focus on root-cause analysis.
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Nice to Have
- Experience with FPGA design using Verilog or VHDL.
- Knowledge of wireless technologies like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- Experience designing for harsh environments and adhering to strict regulatory standards in sectors like health tech, aerospace and defense, or industrial.
- Familiarity with Python or C/C++ for scripting test automation.
- Previous experience guiding a product through certification testing for EMC/EMI or Safety.
Technical Stack
- Design Tools: Altium Designer, Cadence Tools Suite
- Simulation: SPICE, CST, Cadence Sigrity
- Languages: Verilog, VHDL, Python, C/C++
