• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Proven ability to lead complex projects and work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment

Responsibilities

• Design of LCD/OLED display electrical hardware: from MCU, TCON, SERDES and other key component selection, schematic capture, worst case analysis, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI), design verification test (environmental and EMC), to manufacturing support and production launch
• Design and development of the display hardware platform (from concept design to launch) while meeting cost, timing, quality, and safety targets
• Deep understanding of the display backlight unit, FOG to be interfaced with display electrical hardware for final display assembly.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as software, mechanical, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless integration of the electrical design of the display hardware
• Work closely with contract manufacturing partners to ensure successful product build, from prototype through to mass production, while maintaining quality, cost, and timing targets
• Electrical schematic design and PCB layout
• Support new IC design/development strategic to new display designs
• Perform/support detailed hardware analysis – worst case analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, etc.
• Execute bring-up of hardware design from power supplies, SoCs, MCUs, SerDes interfaces, network devices, etc.
• Lead design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testing (DFT)
• Drive the validation and testing of hardware components and systems, ensuring high levels of reliability and performance
• Establish test plans and protocols to validate designs against requirements.
• Troubleshoot hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions to resolve design problems
• Support manufacturing partners in troubleshooting and resolving any production-related issues that arise during the manufacturing process
• Conduct design reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure optimal solutions
• Lead/support DFMEA/PFMEA of display hardware; ensure lessons learned and best practices are included
• Provide guidance and consultation to Design Release Engineers (DREs)
