Introduction
Mission Summary:

We are seeking a talented, motivated, and experienced Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital) to join iRobot's Electrical Engineering R&D APAC team.

As a member of the Electrical Engineering team, you will be a key contributor chartered with ensuring our electrical designs meet cost targets and schedules. You will work in designing/simulating various computational electronic subsystems that utilize high-performance, low-power, embedded microprocessors and their associated external memories, radios, peripherals, and power management devices. You will do trade studies of various subsystems for cost reduction improvements for high volume consumer electronics products.

You will have active participation in a new product development design review with electrical team members and our OEM partners.

You will leverage your experience as a senior engineer to provide technical support enhancing the team’s overall knowledge base and capability.

You will also work closely with our Bedford and APAC (Asia-Pacific) team in helping lead OEM projects and electrical failure analysis of prototypes and pre-production units. You will need to visit OEM partners in the area as needed by the project.
You will :
61 Work with Semiconductor suppliers and Sourcing to understand market trends and roadmaps for processors/memories/radios to aid in device selection.
61 Work with OEM/manufacturing teams to understand and support EMI/ESD and yield issues.
61 Prepare pre-compliance units for internal testing
61 Work with Linux software team and other teams, i.e. mechanical, systems, program management, etc.
61 Actively participate in the EE department with contributions to design reviews, process improvements and training opportunities.
61 Understand system level risk and impact on customer experience with all aspects of a design.
61 Manage relationship with New Product Introduction (NPI) teams to ensure the future roadmap has lessons learned from past projects.
61 Assess and track end of life risks to components in cooperation with OEM/manufacturing and the supply chain organization.
61 Document and track BOM and engineering changes in PLM tools such as Windchill and signoff on designs for each product development phase gates.
