Job Description

Key Requirements

Hardware Design Support

  • Assist senior engineers with schematic capture and PCB layout for cellular IoT and automotive module designs.
  • Perform design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews under senior engineer guidance.
  • Support hardware bring-up activities: bench setup, power sequencing verification, and initial functionality checks on new module prototypes.
  • Maintain accurate design documentation, BOMs, schematic revision logs, and test records to production standards.
  • Assist with component selection, datasheet review, and vendor part evaluation for new designs.

Testing & Validation

  • Execute hardware test plans covering RF performance, power consumption, thermal behavior, and basic signal integrity.
  • Set up and operate lab equipment including spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power supplies.
  • Log, track, and document hardware defects; participate in root cause analysis and corrective action efforts.
  • Support regulatory pre-compliance testing activities (FCC, CE, PTCRB) and assist senior engineers during formal certification runs.
  • Write and maintain test scripts and automated validation routines, leveraging AI tools to accelerate script development.

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Use AI tools actively in day-to-day engineering tasks: drafting test plans, summarizing datasheet content, generating test scripts, and producing failure analysis write-ups.
  • Apply AI-assisted tools for PCB design rule checks, signal integrity review, and documentation generation under senior engineer supervision.
  • Stay current on AI tooling relevant to hardware engineering and share practical findings with the team.

Collaboration & Learning

  • Work closely with senior hardware engineers, firmware engineers, and manufacturing teams on shared development programs.
  • Participate in design reviews, bring-up sessions, and qualification milestone reviews.
  • Coordinate with global engineering teams in Penang, Belgrade, and Germany on assigned tasks within shared development programs.
  • Support customer-facing technical activities including test report preparation and design-in documentation under senior engineer guidance.
