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

• Bachelors 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.
