Job Position:Electronic Engineer | SPJ

Company Background: Electronic Manufacturer

Salary Range: Basic MYR6,000 – MYR8,000

Working Days: Mon - Fri

Working Hours: 8:00am – 6:00pm

Location: Senai, Johor

This role focuses on hardware design, schematic development, PCB layout, prototyping, debugging, and ensuring manufacturability (DFM/DFT). The Electronics Engineer collaborates with cross-functional teams, including NPI, process engineering, and test engineering, to ensure smooth transition from design to mass production.

Key Responsibilities:

Electronic Circuit & PCB Design

• Design and develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for consumer electronic products.

• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and component selection using tools like Altium, OrCAD, or KiCad. Optimize PCB design for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), thermal management, and reliability. Perform signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis for high-speed designs.

Prototyping & Testing

• Build and test electronic prototypes to validate circuit functionality, performance, and reliability.

• Work with NPI and test engineers to define functional and in-circuit test (ICT) strategies.

• Debug hardware issues using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and multimeters. Develop and execute hardware validation plans (HVP) to ensure compliance with specifications.

DFM/DFT & Production Readiness

• Ensure Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Testability (DFT), and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles are met.

• Work closely with process engineers, SMT teams, and suppliers to optimize component placement and PCB stack-ups.

• Collaborate with FA (Failure Analysis) and reliability teams to improve design robustness. Validate FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test) for new product designs.

Compliance & Regulatory Standards

• Ensure products comply with EMC, FCC, CE, UL, and RoHS/REACH standards. Perform environmental and stress testing (ESD, thermal cycling, vibration, etc.).

• Prepare and maintain design documentation, BOMs, test reports, and technical drawings.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Research and implement new technologies, components, and materials to enhance product performance and cost-effectiveness.

• Support cost reduction and yield improvement initiatives by optimizing PCB designs and materials.

• Stay updated with industry trends, emerging electronic components, and advanced manufacturing techniques.

Key Requirements:

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

• 3-5 years in electronics hardware design, preferably in an EMS or consumer electronics industry.

• Expertise in PCB design tools (Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, etc.).

• Knowledge of microcontrollers, power management circuits, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, etc.).

• Experience with circuit simulation tools (SPICE, LTspice, MATLAB, etc.).

• Familiarity with firmware development (C, Python, or embedded systems) is a plus.

• Understanding of thermal management, EMI/EMC design, and safety regulations.

• Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills for debugging complex electronic circuits.

• Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams (NPI, test, process, and quality engineers).

• Detail-oriented with good documentation and communication skills.
