Electrical Engineer – Board Design, Debug, and Lab Support

Job Summary

• We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer with strong experience in custom board design, board-level debugging, soldering/rework, and lab bring-up support. The candidate should be comfortable working in a hardware lab environment, using electrical test instruments, debugging board-level issues, and supporting engineering teams during prototype development, validation, and issue resolution.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, review, and support custom electronic boards based on project requirements.
• Perform schematic review, board bring-up, and board-level electrical debugging.
• Identify and troubleshoot electrical issues on PCB boards, including power, signal, component, and connectivity-related problems.
• Perform soldering, desoldering, and rework activities on PCBs.
• Remove and replace components such as resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors, and other discrete components.
• Support board modifications such as adding/removing resistors, capacitors, jumpers, wires, or other components as required.
• Provide hands-on lab support for hardware validation, prototype testing, and failure analysis.
• Use lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, high-resolution/high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, function generators, logic analyzers, and other electrical test equipment.
• Capture, analyze, and interpret electrical signals, waveforms, noise, timing, voltage levels, and power behavior.
• Work with cross-functional teams including hardware, firmware, validation, and manufacturing teams to resolve technical issues.
• Document debug findings, test results, rework details, and issue resolution steps.
• Support prototype builds, board repairs, engineering changes, and lab setup activities.
• Maintain lab equipment, test setups, cables, fixtures, and hardware samples in an organized manner.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with PCB board design, board bring-up, and hardware debugging.
• Strong understanding of basic electronics, analog/digital circuits, power supplies, and signal integrity fundamentals.
• Experience reading and understanding schematics, PCB layouts, datasheets, and board design documents.
• Good soldering and rework skills, including experience with SMD components.
• Ability to remove, replace, and modify components such as resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors, and jumpers.
• Experience using lab equipment such as: Oscilloscopes, High-resolution/high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, Digital multimeters, DC power supplies, Function generators, Logic analyzers, Soldering and rework stations
• Ability to debug electrical issues independently and provide clear technical explanations.
• Good documentation and communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced lab environment and support multiple hardware activities.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and signal measurement.
• Experience with board-level failure analysis and root-cause debugging.
• Familiarity with PCB design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, KiCad, or similar.
• Experience supporting prototype hardware bring-up and validation.
• Knowledge of test fixtures, cable assemblies, probing methods, and lab safety practices.
• Experience working with engineering change orders, board modifications, and hardware validation reports.
