Job Description

Senior Electronic Design Engineer

We are searching for an experienced Senior Electronic Design Engineer to lead the development of advanced electronic systems used across a wide range of precision measurement and calibration applications. This role blends hands-on circuit design with systems-level engineering, project leadership, and team mentorship. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable architecting new hardware platforms, guiding PCB development, and partnering with cross-functional teams to bring reliable, high-performance products from concept through production.

Advanced Circuit & System Development

• Design and develop analog and digital circuitry, power electronics, and signal-processing subsystems for complex hardware products.
• Define overall system architecture and select key components for reliability and manufacturability.
• Create, simulate, prototype, and validate circuit designs from concept through testing and integration.
• Implement and optimize control systems involving microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs.

PCB Design Leadership

• Oversee PCB layout activities, ensuring best practices in signal integrity, manufacturability, and thermal performance.
• Review and approve schematics, layouts, and design outputs in accordance with industry and internal standards.
• Conduct simulations (thermal, EMC, signal integrity) prior to release for production.

Prototyping, Testing & Integration

• Manage prototype builds and perform hands-on evaluation under real-world conditions.
• Lead integration of new electronic subsystems with mechanical, software, and firmware components.
• Develop hardware validation plans, test protocols, and debugging strategies.

Mentorship & Engineering Leadership

• Provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers.
• Lead design reviews, troubleshooting sessions, and collaborative technical discussions.
• Foster an innovative, quality-focused engineering culture.

Project Ownership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Drive major design efforts from planning through production handoff.
• Coordinate closely with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and project management teams.
• Track project milestones and communicate progress, risks, and mitigation plans to leadership.

Design Verification & Quality Assurance

• Create and execute test plans to verify performance, compliance, and reliability.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware issues using advanced bench instrumentation.
• Ensure documentation accuracy, including schematics, BOMs, test reports, and compliance records.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate emerging technologies and incorporate new design methods or tools when beneficial.
• Support the development of next-generation electronics, including wireless/IoT-enabled features.
• Continuously improve design processes to enhance quality and reduce time-to-market.

Compliance & Standards

• Ensure all designs meet applicable regulatory requirements (CE, UL, RoHS, REACH) and industry standards.
• Support audits, certification processes, and customer/regulatory reviews when needed.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in electronic circuit design, PCB layout, and system integration.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with design/simulation tools such as Altium, OrCAD, LTSpice, MATLAB, PSpice.
• Strong experience with PCB layout platforms (Altium, Eagle, KiCad, Mentor).
• Skilled in analog/digital design, signal processing, microcontroller- and FPGA-based development.
• Solid understanding of EMC, signal integrity, power distribution, mixed-signal design, and thermal considerations.
• Experience with high-speed, high-voltage, or mixed-signal applications is highly valuable.
• Familiarity with wireless communication technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee) and IoT architectures.
• Hands-on troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and related bench tools.

Embedded/Firmware Knowledge

• Ability to read and write basic firmware for microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, PIC, AVR).
• Experience with C/C++ for hardware bring-up and peripheral configuration.
• Familiarity with IDEs such as STM32CubeIDE, MPLAB X, Atmel Studio and toolchains like GCC/IAR.
• Exposure to RTOS environments (FreeRTOS, CMSIS-RTOS) is a plus.
