• Develop hardware based on modern SoCs such as Qualcomm, Rockchip, NXP, or equivalent platforms.
• Select components based on technical requirements, cost, availability, lifecycle, and supply considerations.
• Prepare BOMs, engineering documentation, and technical specifications.
• Conduct internal Design Reviews and resolve design issues before PCB Layout.
• Work closely with PCB Layout Engineers during PCB development and routing.
• Support prototype manufacturing, hardware bring-up, and debugging.
• Analyze issues identified during testing and implement design improvements.
• Collaborate with Embedded Software, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Test Engineering teams.
• Contribute to hardware architecture and technical decisions throughout the product development cycle.
  Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
