  • Generate and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including design records, analysis reports, and compliance documentation
  • Support complaints engineering and ensure issues are documented, tracked, and resolved
  • Ensure designs meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and internal quality guidelines

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (Master’s preferred but not required)
  • 6–10 years of experience in electrical or electronics engineering
  • Strong hands‑on experience with PCB and Flex PCB design
  • Experience with electrical and electronic system development
  • Experience producing and maintaining engineering documentation and supporting compliance efforts
  • Semiconductor industry experience is strongly preferred
    • Candidates from robotics, medical devices, or other advanced hardware industries may be considered if they have relevant semiconductor exposure or domain knowledge

What Success Looks Like in This Role

  • Immediate ownership of PCB and Flex PCB design work
