Job description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer / PCBA Specialist to take ownership of the entire hardware development process from translating system requirements into board-level designs to delivering fully validated, production-ready PCBAs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and develop electronic system architecture down to the PCBA level, based on project requirements.
• Design and implement PCBAs that incorporate microcontrollers, motor drivers, and mixed-signal circuits.
• Handle the complete design cycle: component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout coordination, prototype bring-up, and verification — ensuring readiness for volume production (NPI).
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to resolve complex design and integration issues.
• Conduct instrument-level hardware validation and provide actionable feedback for design improvements.
• Manage configuration control for hardware changes across the product portfolio.
• Maintain and oversee all electrical engineering component data in SAP/PLM systems.
• Produce and maintain detailed engineering documentation, test procedures, and compliance reports for regulated environments, including robotic systems.
• Organize and lead electrical design reviews, driving accountability and decision-making.

Ideal Profile:

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering with over 10 years of hands‑on electrical engineering experience.
• Skilled in using CAD tools such as OrCAD and Altium Designer for schematic and layout work.
• Strong understanding of microcontrollers, digital/analog mixed-signal design, and motor control electronics.
• Proficient with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies) for debugging and validation.
• Strong communicator and collaborator, able to present findings clearly and work effectively in a team environment.
• Proven troubleshooting experience in EMI/EMC/ESD issues.
• Knowledge of regulatory safety standards (e.g., IEC61010) and risk management practices relevant to life science or robotic systems.
