Job Requirements

What You will Do:
• Design, review, and support custom electronic boards, including analyzing requirements, validating schematics, and ensuring design robustness for manufacturing and testing
• Perform detailed schematic reviews to identify design risks related to power distribution, signal integrity, grounding, and component selection
• Lead and support board bring-up activities, including power sequencing checks, voltage validation, and early-stage hardware verification
• Conduct in-depth board-level electrical debugging, isolating issues across power rails, high-speed signals, interfaces, and peripheral components
• Troubleshoot complex PCB issues related to signal integrity, noise, timing, power fluctuations, and component failures using systematic debugging approaches
• Execute precise soldering, desoldering, and rework activities on SMD and through-hole components including ICs, connectors, resistors, capacitors, and fine-pitch devices
• Perform component replacement and board modifications such as adding jumpers, resistors, capacitors, wires, and patch fixes to enable design validation or issue resolution
• Provide hands-on lab support during prototype development, engineering validation, and design verification testing phases
• Use advanced lab instruments including oscilloscopes (high-bandwidth/high-resolution), digital multimeters, power supplies, function generators, and logic analyzers to capture and analyze electrical behavior
• Analyze waveforms, voltage levels, current consumption, noise profiles, and timing characteristics to diagnose and resolve hardware issues effectively
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (hardware design, firmware, validation, manufacturing) to debug issues and ensure smooth product development cycles
• Document debugging activities, test procedures, root-cause analysis, and rework details clearly for knowledge sharing and traceability
• Support prototype builds, hardware modifications, ECO (Engineering Change Orders), and board repair activities
• Maintain lab infrastructure including test setups, fixtures, cables, instruments, and hardware inventory in an organized and operational state

What You Will Bring:
• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field with strong fundamentals in electronics
• Proven hands-on experience in PCB design support, board bring-up, and hardware debugging in a lab environment
• Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, including power supplies, signal integrity, and high-speed design fundamentals
• Ability to read, interpret, and analyze schematics, PCB layouts, datasheets, and technical design documentation
• Practical expertise in soldering, desoldering, and PCB rework, including handling of SMD components and fine-pitch ICs
• Experience in component-level debugging, including identifying faulty components and performing replacements or modifications
• Proficiency in using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, high-bandwidth scopes, digital multimeters, DC power supplies, function generators, and logic analyzers
• Strong debugging and analytical skills to independently troubleshoot complex electrical issues and provide structured root-cause analysis
• Familiarity with PCB design and layout tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, KiCad, or equivalent (preferred but not mandatory)
• Exposure to high-speed interfaces, signal measurement techniques, and board-level failure analysis is an advantage
• Understanding of test methodologies, probing techniques, fixtures, and lab best practices including safety and equipment handling
• Good documentation, reporting, and communication skills to effectively collaborate across engineering teams
• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced lab environment while supporting prototype development and validation activities
