What you need

  • Must be based in China (or willing to relocate) with the ability to travel frequently to other manufacturing hubs in Asia, including Taiwan and Vietnam.
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong ability to write clean, optimized C/C++ for embedded, resource-constrained systems.
  • Excellent ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and component datasheets to debug hardware issues on the fly.
  • Hands-on experience working directly on the factory floor with Joint Development Manufacturers (JDMs), Contract Manufacturers (CMs), or Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) during New Product Introduction (NPI).
  • Hands-on experience debugging embedded communication buses like CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART.

Nice to have

  • Professional working proficiency in Mandarin Chinese to communicate effectively with local JDM engineering teams.
  • Proven experience taking complex consumer electronics, robotics, or automotive hardware from initial prototype through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production.
  • Proficiency in Python for developing manufacturing test scripts, data parsers, and automated test-fixture infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with the distributed systems, sensors (IMUs, absolute encoders, force-torque), and power requirements typical of advanced robotics.

What you get

  • The base salary range for this full-time position is between ¥600,000 – ¥1,000,000 RMB annually.
  • The total compensation package may include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role.

Worth weighing

  • The role requires frequent travel across Asia, which may impact work-life balance.
  • The position is highly autonomous and hands-on, which may not suit those preferring a more structured environment.
  • The salary range is specified, but total compensation details will only be shared upon extending an employment offer.
