- Compliance & Standards: Design in strict accordance with automotive, manufacturing, and reliability standards, including AEC-Q, ISO 26262, IPC, and EMC/EMI requirements.
- Testing & Troubleshooting: Lead proof-of-concept validation, circuit analysis, hardware debugging, and system-level troubleshooting.
- Manufacturing Deliverables: Generate complete fabrication packages, including Gerber files, assembly drawings, bill of materials (BOM), and production documentation.
- Validation & Inspection: Conduct rigorous design reviews, validation testing, and quality inspections to ensure hardware reliability.
- Documentation: Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, design records, and progress reports for the team leader.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate seamlessly with multidisciplinary team members to optimize workflow and accelerate project timelines.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in hardware design and development.
- Strong experience in schematic design and PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, or equivalent.
- Good understanding of digital and analog circuit design, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC principles.
- Experience with multilayer PCB design, component selection, and hardware validation.
- Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes, including DFM, DFA, and production documentation (Gerber files, BOMs, and assembly files)
- Experience in prototype bring-up, hardware debugging, testing, and supporting production.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team.
