Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will lead the design and development of mixed analog and digital electrical circuits and control firmware for a range of systems, including embedded controllers, wireless communication devices, motor drives, and power converters. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to optimize performance, ensure reliability, and deliver high-quality products.
Key Responsibilities
Design mixed analog and digital electrical circuits using components such as microcontrollers, op-amps, and power electronic switches.
Own the PCBA design lifecycle, including schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, testing, and debugging.
Model electrical systems such as power converters and motor drives; design optimal digital controllers based on simulations and experimental data.
Develop and implement real-time digital control algorithms in firmware.
Conduct board-level and system-level tests to verify and validate designs.
Analyze and mitigate EMI issues at the system level.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to refine designs and enhance product quality.
Qualifications
Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field.
7+ years of experience in electrical hardware and firmware design.
Proficiency with PCBA design tools (e.g., Altium Designer) and a proven record of delivering production-ready designs.
Experience in C programming for embedded control, Python for data analysis and automation, and VHDL/Verilog for FPGA development.
Strong hands-on skills in hardware and firmware debugging and testing.
Solid foundation in system modeling/simulation and analog/digital controller design.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
