   • Develop and maintain firmware for MCU/DSP-based controllers, including bootloaders and peripheral drivers.
2. Simulation, Prototyping & Testing
   • Simulate new circuits, build prototypes, and conduct bench testing and performance measurement.
   • Develop and execute verification and validation plans including electrical, thermal, EMI/EMC, and reliability tests.
3. Documentation & Release
   • Prepare and maintain design documentation, schematics, test plans, BOMs, and engineering change orders (ECOs).
   • Ensure proper traceability of design changes and technical documentation.
4. Cross-Functional Collaboration
   • Work closely with mechanical, PCB, manufacturing, procurement, and quality teams to ensure smooth production transfer.
   • Coordinate with suppliers for component sourcing, magnetic design, and qualification testing.
5. Quality & Compliance
   • Ensure designs meet safety and environmental standards (IEC, UL, RoHS, REACH).
   • Adhere to ISO 9001:2015 practices and documentation discipline.
6. Continuous Improvement
   • Participate in design reviews, cost-reduction initiatives, and reliability improvement projects.
   • (For senior roles) Mentor junior engineers and support internal technical training.

Requirements

Education:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
• Master’s Degree or postgraduate studies will be advantageous.

Experience Level:

• Entry-Level: 0–1 year of relevant experience or internship in power electronics or embedded systems.
• Senior-Level: 5+ years of relevant experience in product design, development, or system integration.

Technical Expertise:

• Power supply topology design (flyback, buck, boost, resonant converters).
• Magnetic component design and thermal/EMI management.
• Control loop design, compensation, and stability analysis.
• Firmware development in C/C++ for MCU/DSP; knowledge of I2C, SPI, UART, PMBus, CAN.
• Simulation tools (PSpice, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, Mathcad).
• Experience with lab instruments (oscilloscope, electronic load, spectrum analyzer, etc.).
• Familiarity with DFM, DFT, FMEA, reliability testing, and ISO 9001 documentation.
