Cross-Functional Consultation: Act as a subject matter expert for the firmware and supply chain teams to optimize the hardware-software interface and manufacturing yield.
Prototype Lifecycle: Lead the “bring-up” process, debugging complex issues and defining rigorous testing protocols for design validation.
Requirements
Advanced Circuit Design: Expert-level calculation of circuit elements and high-fidelity simulations of device behavior.
EDA Mastery: Professional proficiency in Altium Designer (experience with managed libraries and 3D modeling is preferred).
Design for Excellence (DfX): Proven track record of designing for LVD/EMC compliance and mass manufacturing (DFM/DFT).
Power Management: Deep expertise in designing both battery-powered and mains-powered (85–265 VAC) devices.
Full Lifecycle Ownership: Experience preparing comprehensive production documentation (BOM management, Gerber files, assembly drawings) using Git for version control.
Communication: Fluent English is required for technical documentation and international collaboration.
Preferred Qualifications
Supply Chain Leadership: Direct experience working with vendors and manufacturers for high-volume production.
High-Speed Design: Advanced understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI). Experience with S-parameters, PDN impedance modeling, and TDR measurements.
System-Level Thinking: Ability to write or review embedded software (C/C++, STM32) to facilitate deep-level debugging and hardware-software co-design.
Regulatory Mentorship: Experience guiding products through global certifications (UL, CE, RED), beyond basic compliance.
We offer:
- The opportunity to suggest and implement your own ideas that directly influence the product and its mass production;
- A place in a fast-growing company with a motivated and professional team;
