Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced electronic design engineer to lead and contribute to the design, development, and validation of advanced electronic hardware for our 5G Radio Units. The role involves end-to-end ownership of design (from concept, architecture through prototyping, testing, and production), working closely with RF, firmware, mechanical, and system teams.

This position is ideal for an experienced engineer with strong fundamentals in electronics, hands‑on hardware development skills, and experience delivering complex products in high‑speed, high‑frequency, or telecom environments. RF experience is a plus for the role.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development

• Design and develop analog, digital, and mixed‑signal electronic circuits for 5G products
• Lead schematic design, component selection, and PCB layout (high‑speed, hi‑density PCB)
• Support designs involving high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes, DDR, LVDS, SPI, I²C, UART)
• Collaborate with RF engineers on integration of RF front‑end, power, and control electronics
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers in product design
• Perform board bring‑up, system integration, and root‑cause debugging
• Diagnose signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal issues
• Own hardware deliverables from concept to production
• Support DFM, DFA, and DFT activities with manufacturing partners
• Review and approve hardware documentation, schematics, BOMs, and test procedures

Testing & Compliance

• Develop and execute hardware validation and qualification plans
• Support regulatory compliance (EMI/EMC, safety, environmental) testing
• Collaborate with QA and test engineering teams to improve product reliability

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in electronics hardware design
• Strong fundamentals in:
  • Analogue and digital circuit design
  • Power supply design (DC‑DC, LDOs, power sequencing)
  • Experience with schematic and PCB tools (e.g., Altium)
  • Hands‑on experience with hardware bring‑up and debugging
• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills
• Ability to work independently and lead complex technical tasks
• Attention to detail with a system‑level mindset
• Effective cross‑functional collaboration
