- Assemble, test, and help troubleshoot prototypes to characterize performance and improve designs
- Work with CMs and suppliers to identify better parts and techniques to scale production
- Design PCBs and work with other engineers to "glue" subsystems together
- Perform validation and data collection on prototypes and products
- Write up problems, fixes, and procedures as you discover them
Qualities and Experience:
- 3-5 Years experience with schematic design and PCB layout supervision, preferably in Altium
- Proficient in the use of measurement test equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to debug and fully characterize designs
- Experience in designing and debugging digital and analog circuits to the component level
- Must be comfortable assembling surface mount components and performing PCB rework
- Knowledge of wireless engineering concepts and components
- Ability to improvise solutions from available materials
- Capable of learning on the fly and rapidly acquiring new skills
