Job Summary:

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the electronics design, debug, and support of products from concept to sustaining mass production. Projects are primarily customer-facing, and span a wide range of industries including consumer electronics, medical device, and Agtech.

Key Responsibilities:

• Schematic and PCB layout design of hardware systems and components, including embedded circuits, power circuits, and analog circuits.
• Debug and validate designs at PCBA, product, and system levels.
• Participate in design and documentation reviews.
• Ensure designs are compliant with industry, safety, and performance standards including regulatory standards such as UL, FCC, or CE.
• Collaborate to define and complete simulations or engineering analyses.
• Assess and mitigate technical risks with project teams.
• Perform testing and debugging to ensure hardware reliability and performance.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering counterparts to solve system-level engineering challenges.
• Update and maintain engineering documentation such as specifications, high-level diagrams, bills of materials, schematics, layouts, and wiring diagrams based on best practices.
• Work closely with production factories and supplier teams on component lifecycles, DFM/DFA, first article approvals, and sustaining production.
• Actively participate in regular project status meetings with relevant external and internal stakeholders.
• Take ownership and accountability of engineering tasks from concept through mass production and sustaining.
• Interact with customers, sales, engineering, production, quality, sourcing, and any other departments as needed to meet project objectives.
• Travel to customer locations, suppliers, and production factories in service of project objectives.
• Embraces engineering best practices, yet remains innovative, in order to deliver high-quality designs with maximum efficiency.
• Collaborate well with local and international teams.
