Your role requires innovative thinking and a strong background in PCB design and mechanical instrumentation assembly.
We are seeking a motivated R&D Hardware Engineer to work on the conceptualization, design, and prototyping of next-generation electronic systems, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.
Key Responsibilities include:
* PCB Schematic & Layout: Develop multi-layer PCB schematics and layouts using industry-standard CAD tools.
* Electronic/Optoelectronic Instrumentation Mechanical Assembly Design: Collaborate with mechanical engineers to design mounting, housing, and alignment solutions for electronic and optical subsystems.
* Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Ensure designs meet DFM guidelines and optimize for assembly cost.
* Prototyping & Validation: Build and test prototypes in the lab; execute design verification and release hardware packages. Analyze failures, iterate on hardware revisions, and provide detailed test reports.
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside firmware, mechanical (MCAD), and systems engineering to ensure mechanical fit, thermal management, and seamless integration.
Required Skills and Qualifications
You will need:
* Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
* Proficiency in PCB CAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer)
* Hands-on experience with laboratory instrumentation and electronic assembly
* Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design principles
* Familiarity with DFM/DFT best practices for mid-volume production
* Excellent technical documentation and communication skills
* Experience with MCAD software (SolidWorks, PTC Creo, or Autodesk Inventor) for enclosure/interface verification
* Background in optoelectronics, including laser safety and fiber-optic assembly procedures
* Experience working with contract electronic manufacturers and turnkey assembly houses
This position offers opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.
