Hardware Engineer

Key Requirements

• Aid senior engineers with schematic capture and PCB layout for cellular IoT and automotive module designs.
• Conduct DFM and 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.
• Cook up 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.
