Assist the R&D Manager with research and development activities, including product prototyping, system integration, and design optimisation for medical and diagnostic applications
Support the translation of product requirements into practical electronic design solutions under managerial guidance
Design, develop, debug, test and validate electronic circuits, schematic diagrams, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) using Altium Designer, EasyEDA, and other EDA tools
Design, develop, debug, test and validate USB communication systems, embedded electronic hardware, and high-speed data interfaces
Design, develop, debug, test and validate power management and battery-powered electronic systems, including Battery Management Systems (BMS) and charging circuits
Design, develop, debug, test and validate embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based systems supporting hardware control, communication interfaces, and data acquisition
Execute electrical/electronic test procedures to verify system functionality and performance against engineering requirements
Conduct hardware verification, fault diagnosis, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analysers, under managerial oversight
Support EMC pre-compliance activities, including PCB design modifications and technical documentation, under R&D oversight
Assist in prototype assembly, system integration, and testing of medical devices and associated electronic subsystems
About you
Degree (completed or near completion) in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
Exposure to Altium Designer, EasyEDA, or similar EDA/PCB design software
Familiarity with C/C++ for embedded/microcontroller firmware development
Comfortable with engineering documentation (BOM management, revision control, test report writing)
Foundational understanding of analog/digital electronic circuit design and PCB layout
Ability to use, or willingness to quickly learn, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analysers for test and fault-finding
Willingness to learn and work closely under managerial guidance
Strong written communication skills for technical documentation
Curious, methodical, and detail-oriented approach to problem-solving
Exposure to USB communication protocols or other high-speed digital interfaces (desirable)
Benefits
Direct mentorship from the R&D Manager and exposure to the full medical device development lifecycle
Hands-on experience across hardware, firmware, testing, and regulated documentation
