Job Description

Key Requirements

Hardware Design & Development

  • Design and develop cellular IoT and automotive connectivity modules from concept through production release.
  • Own schematic capture, PCB layout review, and design-for-manufacturability across the product line.
  • Define and execute hardware bring-up, debug, and validation for new module designs.
  • Develop and execute test plans covering RF performance, power consumption, thermal behavior, EMC/EMI, and reliability.
  • Own root cause analysis and corrective action for hardware failures in development and production.
  • Maintain design documentation, test reports, schematics, and revision history to production standards.

RF & Connectivity

  • Design and validate RF front-end circuitry, antenna integration, impedance matching, and RF shielding.
  • Characterize and optimize cellular protocol stack interactions at the hardware level across 4G LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 5G.
  • Support hardware qualification and regulatory certification activities including FCC, CE, PTCRB, GCF, and applicable automotive standards (UNECE, ISO 26262).

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Apply AI tools actively in design review, simulation setup, signal integrity analysis, and power integrity verification.
  • Use generative AI to accelerate authoring of test scripts, design specifications, failure analysis reports, and qualification documentation.
  • Evaluate and recommend AI tooling relevant to hardware engineering workflows; help establish team-wide best practices.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work

  • Collaborate with firmware and software teams to ensure hardware/software co-design alignment from early architecture through validation.
  • Partner with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure designs are producible at scale and support DFM/DFT objectives.
  • Work directly with the CTO and R&D leadership on product roadmap decisions and next-generation module architecture.
  • Coordinate with global engineering teams across Penang, Belgrade, and Germany on shared development programs.
  • Support customer technical engagement including design-in guidance, application support, and field issue resolution.
