Brief Description:

• The senior engineer works consistently in practical and innovative ways towards defined goals. In this role you will be responsible for work that is defined or less defined in scope, but also be expected to independently define and execute work assignments as well as making sound technical decisions, guiding others in execution. You will utilize your experience or expertise to solve problems, develop and execute objectives for self and have the ability to effect short-term and long-term business goals.

Responsibilities:

• Independently or lead group responsibility for the execution of design, analysis, or evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and judgement and adhering to business/industrial standards, practices, procedures, and product / program requirements.
• Coach and influence others to produce approaches to achieve goals.
• Lead execution of plans to achieve technical requirements, scheduling, budgeting, and contractual commitments.
• Develop and lead action plans to anticipate and respond to complex problems which need cross team coordination.
• Work in collaboration with necessary parties and global engineering teams to achieve the team/project/business goal.
• Capture, categorize, document and validate the hardware requirements.
• Define board level functional architecture, choose the key technologies and components.
• Design and capture schematics, lead the design reviews.
• Write hardware documents, including but not limited to hardware design specification, hardware verification plan, hardware development plan, hardware test procedure, hardware verification report, hardware and software interface specification, etc.
• Write the layout and routing constraints, provide board level layout and routing directives to external PCB layout vendor, follow up the PCB layout/routing.
• Perform circuit calculations and analysis, including but not limited to power consumption calculation, MTBF calculation, signal integrity analysis, etc.
• Generate the bill of material, interact with PCBA vendor to build prototypes.
• Interact with other engineers to insure proper implementation (manufacturing engineer, mechanical engineer, software engineer, system engineer).
• Debug and test the prototypes, perform the environmental and regulatory tests, resolve all kinds of hardware issues.
• Support project planning efforts and ensure execution to schedule and budget.
• Serve as a mentor to less experienced design engineers.
• Regularly meet/talk to technical vendors to refresh the technology awareness and catch up the industrial and technical trend.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
