Monitor, audit, and improve manufacturing performance at the factory, reporting valid information to the operations management team.

The duties will entail designing and debugging both digital and analog systems and performing hardware engineering work in product design, analysis, debugging, or manufacturing, including third-party design support.

Design, develop, modify, and implement cost-effective methods for testing and troubleshooting audio and video systems and equipment.

Execute design trade-offs, schematic entry, part selection, BOM generation, specification drafting, test procedures, debugging, testing, design reviews, and Design Validation Testing of various video and audio systems.

Develop test infrastructure, networking systems, DHCP servers, HTTP/WEB servers, FTP servers, NAS, NFS, etc. Install, set up, and maintain the TLS/SSL Key Certificate network system and its infrastructure.

Verify analog and logic circuit functions, collaborate on detailed electrical and physical design, perform simulations, conduct design reviews and laboratory tests on new and existing Test Systems.

Contribute to and advance all aspects of electrical design projects, including prototypes and mass production of audio and video systems. Innovate creative solutions to technical challenges related to this function.

Take part in periodic design reviews and pilot builds. Document intellectual property developments.

Collaborate with Mechanical and Hardware engineers to incorporate testability into new product designs and develop fixtures and custom PCBs to aid in automated testing.

Monitor production and repair processes, performing failure analysis and troubleshooting RF, digital, and analog product yield problems down to the component level. Guide the failure analysis process and recommend subsequent steps. Actively engage in technical process improvement activities.

Demonstrate strong accountability for completing assigned tasks and deliverables on time and effectively contribute to team planning.

Encourage frequent communication within the team and throughout the organization to ensure dissemination of significant information and lessons learned.

Participate in PCB Lay-Out Design, including placement and routing planning from scratch, multilayer board construction (layer stack-up) definition, generation of new library components, Design for Manufacturability, and creating manufacturing documentation and specifications for PCBs.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering. Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics.
