• Strong grasp of power electronics and active/passive component behaviour.

Sensor Integration

• Integrate optical biosensing (PPG) AFEs, IMUs, temperature sensors, and haptics; own I²C/SPI interface design and analog front-end layout.

Manufacturing & DFM

• Own Gerber/ODB++ release, fabrication and assembly drawings, panelization, and full manufacturing data packages.
• Prepare and maintain BOMs; evaluate and qualify alternate / second-source components.
• Drive DFM/DFA reviews with fab and SMT/EMS partners; support NPI through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production.
• Sound understanding of PCB materials, stackups, and component assembly processes.

Compliance, Reliability & Validation

• Apply EMI/EMC, thermal, and mechanical design best practices.
• Support pre-compliance and certification across FCC, CE, BIS, and RoHS, and familiarity with IEC standards for PCB design safety.
• Coordinate with test engineers on board bring-up and PCB validation; run circuit simulations for RF and signal/timing optimization.

Ownership & Collaboration

• Independently manage hardware projects end-to-end, including vendor coordination and delivery of final hardware.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to optimize designs and meet project timelines.
• Bring the latest design tools, methodologies, and industry best practices into the team.
