Responsibilities

• Determine component-level requirements and develop schematics for camera modules containing image sensors, microcontrollers, AF/OIS drivers, and high-speed interfaces (MIPI, I2C, SPI). Design hardware to enable testing and future technology innovation.
• Perform schematic capture, Printed Circuit Board (PCB)/flex layout supervision, and simulations to meet high-speed signal integrity and low-noise power supply requirements.
• Bring up prototypes, conduct system-level debugging, and test electrical subsystems for performance over specified temperature and voltage ranges.
• Author comprehensive design documentation, Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reports, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
• Work with cross-functional teams (Optical, Mechanical, Firmware) to optimize camera performance and ensure successful integration.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience.
• 2 years of experience working in a electrical engineering technical environment.
  
  

Preferred qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 3 years of experience in the consumer electronics industry, including imaging products.
• Experience in debugging and failure-mode analysis.
• Proficiency in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro, Altium) and simulation tools (e.g., SPICE).
• Familiarity with camera modules, image sensors, or optical components.
