Design, develop, and verify assigned system circuitry and hardware aligned with project objectives and requirements.
Using OrCAD Schematic tools, design embedded mixed-signal electronic circuitry that integrates high-voltage power supply circuitry, microcontrollers, flashlight/indication/display circuitry and drivers, memory devices (FLASH/EEPROM), switch-mode and linear power supplies, batteries, data interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB), RF transceivers, electromechanical transducers, and other discrete digital and analog components.
Collaborate with PCB designers to develop layout implementations and review designs for signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and reliability using Cadence layout tools.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, technology partners, and manufacturing teams to support electronics development throughout the product lifecycle, from concept through production.
Participate in schematic and layout design reviews to improve design quality, manufacturability, and product reliability.
Develop test methods and create test plans to evaluate and validate hardware designs.
Bring up, characterize, and debug systems and circuits using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies, hi-pot testers, and other electronic test equipment.
Evaluate and document design outcomes, test results, and related information, then present findings to the engineering team for review and discussion.
Support regulatory compliance efforts (FCC, CE, IEC, etc.) through sound design practices, testing, and debug activities.
Optimize electronic designs using simulation tools and hands-on laboratory measurements.
Develop, evaluate, and help finalize assembly drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), Gerber files, and other design documentation required for product release.
Partner with the New Product Introduction (NPI) team to develop and define test requirements for PCBA board-level testers and system functional test fixtures used in production.
Contribute to technical discussions, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement within the engineering team.
