About the Role
We are seeking an Electronics Engineer to lead electronic hardware design from concept to production. This role involves translating product requirements into schematics, circuits, and manufacturable boards, and overseeing verification and testing. The ideal candidate is a skilled engineer eager to innovate in the field of electronics within the AI era.
Responsibilities
- Design analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits based on requirements and specifications.
- Perform schematic capture and manage PCB layout, including component selection, footprints, and BOM management.
- Conduct circuit simulations and analyses (e.g., SPICE) for power, signal integrity, timing, and thermal aspects.
- Design power supplies, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet, etc.), and microcontroller/processor subsystems.
- Perform prototype bring-up and debugging in a lab environment using standard equipment.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle.
- Prepare design documentation and support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost reduction initiatives.
- Assist with compliance activities (EMC/EMI, safety, regulatory) as designs progress.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in electronic circuit and PCB design.
- Proficiency with schematic and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence, KiCad).
- Strong understanding of analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and high-speed design principles.
- Experience debugging hardware using standard lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
