Full Time Lai Chi Kok

Key Responsibilities:

        • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of hardware engineers across board design, RF, power, and signal integrity disciplines.

        • Own the end-to-end hardware development process: architecture definition, schematic and layout review, prototype build, DVT/PVT, and manufacturing handoff.

        • Drive aggressive development cycle targets (12-month concept-to-production) by removing blockers, improving tooling, and optimising team workflows.

        • Collaborate closely with firmware, product management, and industrial design teams to define product requirements and resolve cross-domain trade-offs.

        • Manage relationships with contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and test houses; lead design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews.

        • Establish and enforce design standards for high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe Gen 3/4, USB 3.x, Ethernet up to 10 GbE), cellular modem integration (4G/5G), and Wi-Fi 6E/7 RF front-ends.

        • Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies including 60 GHz mmWave radios, FPGA-based packet processing, and satellite modem interfaces.

        • Champion quality and reliability through robust HALT/HASS programmes, thermal analysis, and field-return root-cause investigations.

        • Define team hiring plans, manage budgets, and report progress to senior leadership with clear, data-driven metrics.

Who You Are:

      • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.

      • 10+ years of hands-on hardware engineering experience, with at least 3 years managing or leading a hardware team.

      • Deep expertise in embedded system design: ARM/MIPS SoC platforms, DDR4/5 memory interfaces, high-speed serial links, and power management (DC-DC, PMICs).

      • Strong working knowledge of cellular modem integration (Qualcomm SDX/QCM platforms preferred), RF design fundamentals, and regulatory certification processes (FCC, CE, PTCRB, carrier approvals).

      • Proven ability to manage concurrent hardware programmes from concept through volume production.

      • Experience with EDA tools and hands-on lab skills (oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, VNA).

      • Excellent communication skills in English; Cantonese or Mandarin proficiency is a strong advantage.
