Job Desription:

We are looking for a passionate and technically strong Electronics Engineer to join our R&D Electronics Engineering team. The successful candidate will be directly involved in the research, architecture, circuit design, development, prototyping, testing, validation, debugging, qualification, and production release of electronics hardware for warehouse robotic systems including power systems, control systems, and related products.

This role is intended for an engineer with a strong interest, knowledge, and practical experience in electronics circuit theory, circuit design, and hands‑on hardware development. The engineer will be expected to take technical ownership of the complete electronics hardware development lifecycle, from initial circuit design concepts and circuit theory through simulation, schematic design, PCB implementation, electronic hardware development, laboratory validation, design qualification, and final product release.

Key responsibilities:

Design, analyse, and develop innovative electrical and electronic circuit solutions for warehouse robotic systems, including power systems, control systems, and related electronic products.

Develop electronics solutions from initial engineering requirements and circuit theory, including defining the circuit architecture, selecting suitable circuit topologies, performing circuit calculations, and developing practical hardware solutions.

Apply strong knowledge of analogue, digital, mixed‑signal, power electronics, and control circuit theory to solve real engineering and product development challenges.

Develop power and control system circuit designs, including power distribution, power conversion, sensing, protection, monitoring, and control circuits.

Develop isolated and non‑isolated power systems, including isolated power supplies, control signal isolation, industrial interfaces, and protection circuits.

Use circuit simulation and engineering analysis tools to design, evaluate, and validate conceptual circuit solutions before physical hardware implementation.

Perform circuit analysis and calculations to verify component operating conditions, voltage and current ratings, power dissipation, tolerances, operating margins, and expected circuit behaviour.

Select suitable electronic components and circuit topologies based on electrical performance, reliability, availability, lifecycle, manufacturability, and product requirements.

Develop complete electronics hardware designs from circuit concept and architecture through schematic design and PCB implementation.

Develop professional schematics with a strong understanding of the electrical function, operation, and interaction of every major circuit block and component within the design.

Use (preferably) Altium Designer to design and review schematics and multi‑layer PCB layouts in accordance with IPC standards, electrical design requirements, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles.

Design and review PCB implementation with consideration for component placement, grounding, power distribution, current paths, noise, isolation, thermal performance, signal integrity, manufacturability, and practical product requirements.

Generate and release complete PCB fabrication and PCBA production documentation, including fabrication files, assembly files, BOMs, and relevant engineering documentation.

Build, assemble, and bring up newly developed hardware prototypes, taking technical ownership of the initial hardware power‑up and circuit commissioning through design verification, design refinement, and the complete hardware production release cycle.

Perform hands‑on circuit debugging and engineering root‑cause analysis when designed electronics hardware or prototypes do not perform as expected, and implement technically justified circuit or hardware design improvements to resolve identified issues.

Develop and execute engineering verification methods to confirm that the designed circuit performs according to the original design requirements, calculations, and simulation results.

Plan and support Design Verification Testing (DVT) and product development activities to verify circuit functionality, electrical performance, operating margins, reliability, and robustness.

Participate in engineering design reviews and continuously improve circuit and hardware designs throughout the prototype‑to‑final‑product development cycle, incorporating hardware design iterations, engineering evaluations, and Design Verification Testing (DVT) findings.

Develop electronic hardware test methods and embedded hardware test sequences using platforms such as MATLAB, Arduino, STM32, Python, or equivalent tools to support circuit development and capture engineering data for evaluating circuit performance, functionality, and reliability.

Analyse designed hardware, prototype, and DVT results to correlate actual hardware performance with circuit theory, design calculations, simulation results, and product requirements.

Drive assigned electronics designs through the complete electronics hardware development lifecycle, including concept development, circuit architecture, circuit design, simulation, component selection, schematic development, PCB design, prototype bring‑up, debugging, design verification, design refinement, and final product release.

Work closely with Software Engineers, Embedded System Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Technicians or Field Application Engineers and Production teams to integrate your designed electronics hardware into complete robotic systems.

Liaise with sourcing teams, component manufacturers, suppliers, PCB fabrication and PCB assembly vendors to support component selection, prototype development, manufacturability, production readiness, and hardware issue resolution.

Take technical ownership of assigned electronics hardware designs from initial engineering concept through to a validated, manufacturable, and production‑ready final product.
