Role Summary
This role is mainly working on the design and mass production of our IoT product lines.
You will own end-to-end hardware development — board-level design, low-power optimization, certification, and EMS/ODM coordination.
You will work with firmware, mechanical, QA, and PM teams, as well as manufacturing partners, to bring products from concept to volume production.
Responsibilities (What he/she will do after joining UI)
-AC-Side Power Electronics Design: Hands-on design of smart relays, light switches, dimmers, and smart plugs — including AC-DC power conversion (e.g., buck / flyback), live/neutral handling, isolation design, phase-cut / dimming control, and creepage / clearance compliance.
-Power IC Design & Review: Design and review PMIC, charger IC, and battery-protection circuits to ensure product safety and reliability.
Requirement (Must-Haves)
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of hands-on hardware design experience in consumer electronics or IoT products.
- Power-electronics / AC-side product design experience— a proven track record taking AC-powered products (smart relays, light switches, dimmers, or smart plugs) to mass production, including AC-DC conversion, live/neutral handling, isolation design, and creepage/clearance (safety) compliance.
- Hands-on EMC / ESD debug experience, with the ability to lead products through certification independently.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced Power Electronics: Deeper experience with switching topologies (buck / flyback / PFC), transformer & magnetics design, phase-cut / TRIAC dimming, and energy-metering ICs.
- PMIC / Charger IC / Protection: PMIC, charger IC, and battery-protection circuit design.
-Surge / Lightning / EMC for AC Products: Hands-on diagnosis of pre-compliance or certification failures on AC-side products (surge / EFT / ESD) — not just familiarity with the standards.
