East West is a trusted Integrated Manufacturing Solutions (IMS) provider partnering with global brands and innovative companies. We deliver end-to-end solutions—from design and engineering to advanced manufacturing and supply chain—bringing complex products from concept to scale.

This hands‑on role focuses on designing and developing advanced hardware solutions with a strong emphasis on power electronics, translating customer requirements into reliable, manufacturable designs. You will lead projects from concept through production, collaborating with internal teams and global partners to ensure seamless execution. Experience in firmware/software integration or mechanical systems is a plus, making this an ideal position for engineers who thrive in multidisciplinary environments.

• Lead technical execution and collaborate with project management to ensure timely, high-quality designs throughout the product lifecycle.
• Engage with customers to define specifications and develop proposals.
• Create compelling, cost-efficient engineering solutions aligned with customer needs.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation: schematics, PCB layouts, Gerber files, BOMs, work instructions, and test procedures.
• Define component strategies and oversee prototype development.
• Coordinate with domestic and international engineering teams to ensure manufacturability and repeatability.
• Conduct design reviews and implement qualification testing plans for reliability.
• Work within structured design processes (e.g., ISO
  9001) to ensure compliance and quality.
• Support smooth transition of approved designs to NPI and production teams.

• 4‑Year Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or a closely related field; advanced certifications or graduate coursework preferred.
• 6+ years of experience in hardware/electrical design and end‑to‑end product development.
• Demonstrated strength in customer‑facing technical engagement, including requirements definition, technical support, and cross‑functional collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, and program teams.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with deep expertise across core electronic engineering disciplines, including:
  • High‑speed digital design, including signal integrity analysis and PCB layout best practices.
  • Power supply design, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, efficiency optimization, and thermal considerations.
  • Analog circuit design, with emphasis on sensing, signal conditioning, and low‑noise architectures.
  • Wired and wireless communication interfaces, including SPI, I²C, USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and Wi‑Fi.
  • Working knowledge of embedded software development, including interaction with firmware teams and familiarity with real‑time operating systems (RTOS).
  • Understanding of IoT architectures, communication protocols, and system‑level integration considerations.
• Proficiency with PCB design tools, schematic capture, layout, and engineering documentation standards.
• Working knowledge of Artificial Intelligence applications in engineering design, research, and product development workflows.
