The role
Build the camera electronics and embedded AI board inside our industrial vision products — and take them from architecture through bring-up, validation and production, so they run reliably on factory floors at scale.
What you will do
- Turn product requirements into a hardware architecture, component choices and documented trade-offs.
- Design camera electronics around image sensors and MIPI CSI-2 — power, clocking, reset and reliable data transfer.
- Design or lead the design of SoC / compute-module carrier boards with Ethernet, USB, storage and industrial I/O.
- Own schematics and review multilayer, high-speed PCB layout, stack-up and routing.
- Plan first power-on and bring-up; debug methodically with lab equipment and logs.
- Take boards through validation and production: test points, DFM/DFT, EVT/DVT/PVT, manufacturing handover.
- Find the root cause of field failures and make sure they don't come back.
Who we are looking for
- 5+ years of hands-on electronics product development — typically 5–12.
- You personally helped take at least one product into production — not only a prototype or an academic project.
- Multilayer PCB design and review, and real board bring-up.
- Hands-on with some of: MIPI CSI-2, DDR/LPDDR, USB 3.x, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet.
- Comfortable working with embedded Linux and software engineers at the hardware/software boundary.
- Good to have: Rockchip, NXP, NVIDIA Jetson or Qualcomm platforms; camera integration; SI/PI, thermal and EMI/EMC; EMS partners and production test.
Your first year
- A clear architecture and risk list before committing to a PCB spin.
- Fewer avoidable board revisions.
- Boards that bring up methodically and hand over to manufacturing cleanly.
- A plan for reliability, yield and serviceability as volume grows.
