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.
