Electronic Engineer

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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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:

1 Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
2 Experience: 3-5 years in electronics hardware design, preferably in an EMS or consumer electronics industry.
3 Technical Skills:

• 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.

4 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.
