Manage designs from initial schematic and layout through prototyping, verification, and product release.
*
Develop simulation and modelling of electronic systems using mathematical tools.
*
Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards throughout the design process.
*
Maintain clear documentation and reports in accordance with internal procedures.
New Product Introduction & Lifecycle Support
*
Translate product requirements into practical engineering solutions while considering commercial constraints.
*
Coordinate across functions (production, test, procurement) to ensure designs are optimised for manufacturing (DFx).
*
Manage component selection for performance, cost, and lifecycle (obsolescence planning).
*
Provide technical support for existing products, troubleshooting hardware/firmware issues in collaboration with internal stakeholders or third-party vendors.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
*
Work closely with R&D partnerships including academic collaborators and innovation centres.
*
Support software/firmware teams in integrating control algorithms into new product designs.
