About the job

Job Summary:

As a Product Engineer – Short Range, you will serve as the technical bridge between our customers and internal engineering teams, ensuring the successful design, integration, and delivery of complex IoT products. You will play a key role in shaping the system architecture, driving cross-functional alignment, and ensuring our products meet functional, performance, and quality expectations.

Responsibilities:

1- System Architecture & Design

  • Define and document system-level architecture for IoT products integrating hardware, firmware, wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, LTE, etc.), sensors, and cloud interfaces.
  • Lead system block diagram creation, interface definitions, and design trade-offs.

2- Requirements Analysis & Specification

  • Work closely with OEM customers to capture use cases and system-level requirements.
  • Translate business and user needs into detailed technical specifications for cross-functional teams.

3- Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Collaborate with hardware, software, mechanical, RF, and test engineering teams to ensure smooth system integration.
  • Identify and mitigate system-level risks early in the development cycle.

4- System Validation & Debug

  • Support DVT/PVT activities by developing and reviewing system-level test plans and analyzing complex issues involving multiple domains.
  • Participate in debugging system-level issues spanning hardware, firmware, and cloud/app layers.

5- Customer Interaction & Support

  • Provide technical leadership in customer meetings, design reviews, and field escalations.
  • Act as a key technical contact for OEM customers during development phases.

6- Documentation

  • Develop and maintain clear, structured documentation including interface control documents (ICDs), system specs, and integration guides.

Educational and Skill Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • More than 5 years of experience in embedded systems or system engineering roles, preferably within an ODM or IoT environment.
  • Strong understanding of embedded hardware/software co-design.
  • Experience with wireless technologies: Wi-Fi, BLE, Cellular (LTE/Cat-M/NB-IoT).
  • Hands-on experience with MCUs, RTOS, Linux, or embedded firmware stacks.
  • Experience analyzing logs, system boot flows, and hardware interface interactions (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, etc.).
  • Familiarity with system validation processes (DVT, PVT, EVT).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to interface with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Requirements

  • Experience with cloud integration (e.g., AWS IoT, Azure IoT, MQTT).
  • Knowledge of power optimization, thermal design, and RF coexistence.
  • Exposure to regulatory and compliance aspects (FCC, CE, BT SIG, etc.).
  • Familiarity with IoT verticals such as smart home, industrial automation, or asset tracking.
  • Mandarin is preferred
