• Document requirements, specifications, and test criteria for modules and systems
• Conduct feasibility studies and analysis to evaluate new technologies and components
• Support manufacturing builds, hardware bring-up, and troubleshooting activities
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines (mechanical, firmware, software, etc.) to deliver integrated solutions
• Troubleshoot and resolve electrical performance and reliability issues
• Demonstrate sustained productivity and ownership of assigned areas
• Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners and contribute to team-level goals
• Participate in process improvement, knowledge sharing, and organizational activities as appropriate
Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field, and/or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of experience in electrical design or a relevant technical field
• Proven knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals and circuit and/or system design
• Experience with schematic and board design using industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence OrCAD, Altium)
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment and debugging/automating hardware
• Experience working with at least one of the following: digital signal processing, real-time image processing, display engineering, camera modules, mobile SoC/PMIC, or battery management systems
Preferred Qualifications
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience providing day-to-day technical oversight of JDM partner manufacturing test operations, including reviewing test setups, fixtures, and procedures to ensure they meet product requirements
• Experience reviewing and analyzing manufacturing test data and assisting in failure analysis activities for manufacturing test escapes and field returns
• Experience supporting design verification of electrical subsystems by leading the review of test plans and test results from the external teams, providing technical feedback and guidance
• Experience developing and maintaining test automation tooling and scripting to support data collection, analysis, and reporting for both manufacturing test and design validation workflows
• Working proficiency in Python for test automation, data analysis, or tooling development
• Experience participating in hardware engineering design reviews and provide Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Experience supporting test infrastructure improvements, including test station setup, instrumentation configuration, and data pipeline development
• Experience with test equipment and measurement techniques for verifying and validating electrical hardware (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, signal generators, etc.)
• Demonstrated experience with electrical design validation or system-level verification of consumer electronics hardware
• Understanding of basic statistical methods for analyzing manufacturing test data (yield analysis, Cpk, GR&R, etc.)
• Familiarity with automated test equipment, test fixture design, and mechanical concepts as they relate to manufacturing test setups
• Experience working in an R&D or prototyping environment where requirements evolve and priorities shift frequently
• Experience in consumer electronics or low-power battery-operated device development
• Effective communication skills for working across internal teams and external manufacturing partners
