Responsibilities

System Design & Development:

• Architect and develop advanced electronic systems for wireless power transfer, integrating smart connectivity and IoT capabilities.
• Design detailed electronic circuits, including schematic capture and multilayer PCB layouts using tools such as Altium Designer.

Prototyping & Testing:

• Lead the prototyping, assembly, and testing of custom PCBs for both transmitter and receiver WPT systems.
• Develop and execute comprehensive test cases and scripts for production-line validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other test equipment.

Hardware Optimization & Production:

• Optimize BOM management and collaborate with PCB manufacturers, component vendors, and contract manufacturers to ensure scalable production.
• Validate PCB assembly through rigorous DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) reviews.

Performance & Compliance:

• Implement real-time power control and thermal management strategies for medium-to-high power systems (0–2kW).
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance, signal integrity, and high-efficiency power delivery.
• Integrate sensors (temperature, current, etc.) and safety mechanisms for overheat and overcurrent protection.

Collaboration & Troubleshooting:

• Work closely with firmware engineers to achieve seamless hardware-firmware integration.
• Analyze electrical schematics to identify potential failure modes and develop robust mitigation strategies.
• Troubleshoot issues in power electronics, microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32, STM32), and BLE modules to maintain system reliability.

Qualifications

Educational Background:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.

Experience:

• 10+ years of experience in embedded hardware design, PCB development, and electronic circuit prototyping—preferably within the consumer electronics market.
• Demonstrated experience in taking products from the prototype stage to mass manufacturing, including DFM/DFA practices.

Technical Expertise:

• Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout design using CAD tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle.
• Deep understanding of power electronics, wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, and thermal management solutions.
• Experience programming and integrating microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32, STM32, Renesas, NXP) with electronic systems.
• Familiarity with high-frequency PCB design, EMI/EMC standards, and safety certifications (UL, IEC, CE).

Analytical & Collaborative Skills:

• Strong circuit debugging and troubleshooting skills, with hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power analyzers.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and a proven track record of collaborating effectively in cross-functional, fast-paced environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and adaptability to work in a fast-paced, innovative start-up environment.
