Conduct feasibility studies and analysis to evaluate new technologies and components 5. Support manufacturing builds, hardware bring-up, and troubleshooting activities 6. Collaborate across engineering disciplines (mechanical, firmware, software, etc.) to deliver integrated solutions 7. Troubleshoot and resolve electrical performance and reliability issues 8. Demonstrate sustained productivity and ownership of assigned areas 9. Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners and contribute to team-level goals 10. Participate in process improvement, knowledge sharing, and organizational activities as appropriate **Minimum Qualifications:** Minimum Qualifications: 11. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field, and/or equivalent practical experience 12. 2+ years of experience in electrical design or a relevant technical field 13. Proven knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals and circuit and/or system design 14. Experience with schematic and board design using industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence OrCAD, Altium) 15. Hands-on experience with lab equipment and debugging/automating hardware 16. 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:** Preferred Qualifications: 17. Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) 18. Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) 19. Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies 20. 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 21. Experience reviewing and analyzing manufacturing test data and assisting in failure analysis activities for manufacturing test escapes and field returns 22. 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 23. Experience developing and maintaining test automation tooling and scripting to support data collection, analysis, and reporting for both manufacturing test and design validation workflows 24. Working proficiency in Python for test automation, data analysis, or tooling development 25. Experience participating in hardware engineering design reviews and provide Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) 26. Experience supporting test infrastructure improvements, including test station setup, instrumentation configuration, and data pipeline development 27.
