TL;DR · Module Design Engineer

The Module Design Engineer joins the hardware team to lead sensor technology scoping, proof-of-concept investigations, and product definition through market surveys and competitive analysis. This role involves collaborating with various teams to evaluate system design trade-offs while providing cross-functional leadership and mentorship to other engineers. Daily responsibilities include defining end-to-end applications involving sensors, signal processing, ASIC, and algorithm configurations. The engineer will oversee module execution, manage architectural risks, and perform failure mode analysis and root cause diagnosis. Key technical tasks involve designing and prototyping rigid or flexible PCBs and optimizing designs across mechanical, material, and software boundaries. Required skills include analog circuit design analysis, sensor physics, and proficiency in MATLAB, Python, SPICE, and COMSOL. The role focuses on solving complex problems through statistical data analysis and mining to ensure robust system-level performance.

What you'll do

  • Conduct sensor technology scoping and proof-of-concept investigations to support product definition.
  • Define and design end-to-end applications including sensors, signal processing, ASICs, and algorithm configurations.
  • Oversee complete module design and execution while tracking architectural risks and project schedules.
  • Design, prototype, and integrate sensors with rigid/flexible PCBs and ASIC applications.
  • Optimize designs across multi-disciplinary boundaries including mechanical, materials, firmware, and reliability requirements.
  • Perform failure mode analysis, root cause diagnosis, and system-level problem solving.
  • Execute statistical data analysis and data mining to solve complex technical problems.
  • Conduct design analysis, characterization, and validation for sensor systems.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience and/or education in analog circuit design analysis including RLC circuits, frequency domain transfer-functions, and amplifiers.
  • Expertise in sensor design, simulation, prototyping, and integration into systems.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, SPICE, COMSOL, or similar software packages.
  • Fundamental knowledge of sensor physics, analog analysis, circuit design, linear algebra, and statistics.
  • Experience in failure mode analysis, root cause diagnosis, and system-level problem solving.
