• Use AI tools to accelerate data analysis and problem solving during design, verification, and troubleshooting activities.
• Design analog, digital, and power circuitry that meets system performance targets and business requirements.
• Work cross-functionally with other groups and negotiate design tradeoffs to balance performance, cost, manufacturability, and schedule.
• Perform detailed qualification and verification of new designs to ensure quality, reliability, and compliance with product requirements.
• Ensure all designs meet appropriate global regulatory requirements and standards.
• Develop work scopes and estimates for electrical engineering activities and commit to realistic project dates and deliverables.
• Plan projects and collaborate closely with Project Managers to keep electrical engineering tasks, milestones, and deliverables clear, current, and aligned with overall project plans.
• Support customer escalations and field troubleshooting by analyzing issues, identifying root causes, and implementing effective design or process corrections.
• Verify and review third‑party supplier designs to ensure they meet technical, quality, and regulatory expectations.
• Collaborate with global manufacturers to deliver products to market, focusing on cost and manufacturability optimization.
• Apply Design for Manufacture (DFM) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) mitigation techniques to improve product robustness and ease of production.
• Use electronic test equipment for qualification, verification, and troubleshooting of prototypes and production units.
• Contribute ideas and insights to project decisions, working effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Perform other related duties as required to support the success of the engineering team and product development programs.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field from a recognized university.
• At least 3 years of relevant electronics design experience with a proven record of successful product delivery.
