  • Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust, production-ready designs.
  • Mentor junior hardware engineers and review their design work.

Required Skills & Experience

  • BEng degree
  • Strong expertise in analog and power circuit design (topologies, magnetics, gate-drive design, thermal considerations).
  • Proven experience with PCB layout for power and mixed-signal systems.
