• →Update in-market circuit designs to address component obsolescence, approved component substitutions, second-source requests, cost reduction opportunities, and other post-launch design improvements for mass-produced electronics.
• →Partner with cross-functional engineering teams, technology partners, and manufacturing teams to own electronics sustainment throughout the post-launch product lifecycle.
• →Execute bench verification and performance evaluation of components and circuits using standard laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and power supplies.
• →Perform hands-on debug, failure analysis, and rework of electronic systems, circuits, and components.
• →Use OrCAD Capture and related design tools to update embedded mixed-signal circuit designs for complex electronic products, including processors, sensors, memory, power, audio, RF, and PCB assemblies.
• →Work closely with PCB design engineers to define, implement, review, and release PCB layout updates using Allegro or similar layout tools.
• →Test and evaluate baseline RF performance of wireless subsystems, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS, in assigned in-market products.
• →Develop test methods, execute system- and component-level verification, and drive test plans to validate electronic design changes.
• →Document design changes, test results, and technical conclusions, and communicate findings clearly to design teams and management.
• →Provide hardware support to global regulatory compliance teams, including sample preparation, documentation, and debug, for certifications such as FCC, IC, CE, and PTCRB.
