Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed PCB schematics and layout designs for new and existing products.


• Perform signal integrity, thermal, and power analysis to ensure robust performance.


• Select and specify suitable components, carriers, and passive devices for optimal functionality.


• Create design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) guidelines and collaborate with manufacturing partners for production readiness.


• Produce manufacturing test plans, repair procedures, and documented validation reports.


• Provide post‑production support, including root‑cause analysis and field‑service assistance.


• Lead rapid prototyping and iterative design improvements based on test feedback.


• Coordinate with firmware and software teams to integrate hardware and embedded software interfaces.


• Manage documentation, including bill of materials (BOM), design change records, and compliance filings.


• Continuously research emerging technologies and industry trends to enhance product competitiveness.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Bachelor's or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field.


• Minimum 3+ years of hands‑on PCB design experience using industry‑standard tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, etc.).


• Strong understanding of high‑speed digital design, impedance control, and power delivery concepts.


• Experience with design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) and design‑for‑assembly (DFA) best practices.


• Proficient in component selection, library management, and schematic capture.


• Hands‑on experience with production test setups, boundary‑scan, and in‑circuit testing.


• Familiarity with EMI/EMC, thermal simulation, and IDF/EDIF standards.


• Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to troubleshoot hardware failures.


• Effective communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration and documentation.


• Proactive attitude toward learning and adopting new tools, standards, and emerging technologies.
