Lead Electronics Engineer

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.
