About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Electronics Engineer to join our Robotics R&D team, focusing on next-generation robotic vacuum products. This role is responsible for end-to-end electronics design, from concept development through mass production, ensuring high performance, reliability, and compliance with global standards.
Key Responsibilities
Electronics Design & Development
- Lead the design and development of electronic hardware solutions for robotic vacuum and home appliance products, covering analog, digital, power, and embedded systems.
- Architect and implement robust hardware platforms, including motor control, sensing interfaces (e.g., magnetic, optical), and high-speed SoC-based systems.
- Develop schematics, guide PCB layout, and ensure design integrity through simulation, tolerance analysis, and reviews.
- Prototype, integrate, and validate hardware designs, including embedded firmware interfaces where required.
Product Engineering & Delivery
- Ensure designs meet product requirements for performance, reliability, manufacturability (DFM), cost, serviceability, and regulatory compliance (e.g., IEC, UL, EMC).
- Drive design verification (DVT), product validation (PVT), and reliability testing, including defining test methodologies.
- Own and manage technical risks throughout the product lifecycle, from concept to production, and lead root cause analysis and resolution.
- Deliver high-quality engineering documentation (schematics, layouts, FMEA, failure analysis, design reports, and technical reviews).
Cross-functional Collaboration
- Work closely with mechanical, motor, firmware, test, and compliance teams to ensure system-level integration and performance.
- Partner with manufacturing engineers to optimize designs for high-volume production and quality (DFX).
- Support quality and reliability teams in field return analysis and continuous improvement.
Supplier & Production Engagement
- Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure components and processes meet quality and cost targets.
- Participate in supplier auditing, qualification, and performance management.
- Drive production readiness and ensure smooth transition from development to mass production.
Leadership & Continuous Improvement
- Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and design guidance to junior engineers.
- Contribute to and drive improvements in electronics development processes, tools, and best practices.
- Support project planning and ensure timely delivery of milestones.
Qualifications & Experience
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Telecommunication, or equivalent.
Experience
- Min. 5+ years of experience in electronics hardware design and development (robotics, consumer electronics, or home appliances preferred).
- Proven experience across the full product development lifecycle, from concept to mass production.
Technical Skills
- Strong expertise in:
- Power electronics and motor control systems
- Analog and digital circuit design
- Sensor integration (magnetic, optical, or similar)
- Experience with SoC-based high-speed platforms (e.g., ARM multi-core systems, DDR4/DDR5, MIPI interfaces).
- Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Mentor Graphics or equivalent).
- Hands-on experience with simulation tools for circuit analysis and tolerance validation.
- Solid understanding of:
- EMC design and troubleshooting
- Design for Excellence (DFX), DFMEA, and Design QA processes
- Regulatory and safety standards (IEC, UL, EMC)
Additional Advantage
- Experience in home appliance safety standards
- Knowledge of wiring/harness design
- Exposure to robotics systems or autonomous platforms
Personal Attributes
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured approach.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
- Highly motivated, results-driven, and able to thrive under tight deadlines.
- Strong communication skills, with proficiency in written and spoken English.
- High level of integrity, ownership, and accountability.
