What you’ll be doing?

Manage conceptual electronics design: Lead the development of electronics concepts, create detailed schematics, circuit designs, and layouts using EDA tools, iterate on designs, and ensure integration with software/firmware algorithms and system requirements.

Lead junior engineers: Mentor and guide team members, oversee firmware‑hardware integration informed by algorithm knowledge, review code and designs, and resolve interface issues to achieve seamless product functionality.

Drive prototyping: Coordinate electronics prototyping, perform hands‑on debugging and troubleshooting of circuits, systems, and algorithm‑related performance, and optimize designs for reliability, efficiency, and manufacturability.

Apply expertise in BLE, ESD, EMC/EMI: Design and implement Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules, ensure ESD protection, conduct EMC/EMI testing and mitigation, and validate designs against regulatory standards, incorporating algorithm optimizations where applicable.

Oversee PCB fabrication: Manage the end‑to‑end PCB design, fabrication, and assembly processes, including layer stack‑up, component placement, signal integrity, and quality control to minimize defects and costs.

Generate and manage BOM: Create comprehensive BOMs for electronics components, update based on design iterations, track costs, and optimize for supply chain efficiency.

Support JDM activities: Collaborate with JDM partners on electronics integrations, review manufacturing specifications, and provide technical oversight to align with project timelines and quality goals.

Conduct FTO analyses: Perform thorough intellectual property assessments for new electronics designs, review patents and other IP rights to ensure compliance and recommend modifications for unrestricted commercialization.

Utilize Value Proposition Canvas: Implement the Value Proposition Canvas framework to systematically evaluate emerging electronics ideas, focusing on customer value, market alignment, and commercial viability to inform strategic decision‑making.

Collaborate with external partners: Engage with design houses, startups, research institutes, and other external entities to co‑create and integrate novel electronics concepts, fostering innovation through joint ideation, prototyping, and knowledge exchange.

Who are they looking for?

Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.

Technical expertise: Strong understanding of electronics design principles, including analog/digital circuits, signal integrity, power management, and algorithm integration for software/firmware optimization.

Knowledge of BLE, ESD, EMC/EMI: In‑depth knowledge of BLE protocols, ESD protection strategies, and EMC/EMI compliance standards (e.g., FCC, CE).

Familiarity with PCB fabrication: Familiarity with PCB fabrication, PCBA processes, and Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) as a plus.

Awareness of product development: Awareness of product development lifecycle, regulatory requirements for consumer/medical devices, JDM models, and software/firmware algorithms (e.g., signal processing, control systems).

Proficiency in EDA tools: Proficiency in EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle) for schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, and algorithm‑informed design validation.

Strong troubleshooting skills: Strong troubleshooting skills for electronics issues, using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and software debugging techniques.

Ability to generate BOM: Ability to generate and manage BOMs using software like Excel or ERP systems, with cost optimization focus.

Effective leadership skills: Effective leadership skills to mentor firmware engineers and collaborate on integrated systems, leveraging algorithm knowledge for hardware‑software synergy.

Experience in FTO analyses: Experience in conducting FTO analyses and using frameworks like Value Proposition Canvas for business evaluation will be a plus.

Capacity to lead projects: Capacity to lead multiple projects from 0 to 1 in a fast‑paced environment, balancing technical and strategic priorities with algorithm considerations.

Innovative mindset: Innovative mindset to drive electronics concepts into prototypes, with adaptability to emerging technologies and software/firmware integrations.
