Secretlab is an international gaming chair brand seating over 3 million users worldwide, with our key markets in the United States, Europe and Singapore, where we are headquartered.
We're looking for a versatile Electrical Engineer who can take ideas from concept to production. This role requires strong experience in PCBA & hardware design, embedded firmware development, and power supply/electronics systems. You will work on designing reliable hardware, writing clean and efficient firmware, and integrating both into fully functional products.
Our Product team is involved with all Secretlab's industry-leading designs, including collaborative efforts with world-renowned brands such as Game of Thrones, Batman, Cloud9, Team Secret, as well as international esports organisers such as Riot Games for their League of Legends global tournaments.
Responsibilities
Hardware/PCBA Design
- Design schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, or OrCAD.
- Select components, create BOMs, and ensure cost-effective and reliable design.
- Work closely with manufacturers to prepare Gerber files, assembly drawings, and fabrication documentation.
- Conduct design reviews, DFM/DFT checks, and optimize layouts for signal integrity, EMC, and thermal performance.
- Develop and test power supply circuits (buck/boost converters, LDOs, battery charging, BMS).
Firmware Development
- Develop firmware for microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, ESP32, PIC, AVR, Nordic, TI).
- Implement communication protocols (IC, SPI, UART, USB, CAN, BLE, Ethernet, etc.).
- Write and maintain low-level drivers, hardware abstraction layers, and application logic.
- Work with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) when needed.
- Debug hardware and firmware using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other tools.
System Integration & Testing
- Bring up new hardware prototypes, perform functional testing, and resolve hardware/firmware issues.
- Perform power analysis, thermal validation, and reliability testing.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers, product designers, and manufacturing teams.
- Support product certification (EMC, safety, FCC/CE) when required.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related fields.
- 5 to 8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware and firmware.
- Strong experience with microcontroller-based designs.
- Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
- Solid understanding of power supply design (DC/DC converters, battery systems, protection circuits).
- Experience using debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters).
- Ability to read datasheets, application notes, and hardware reference manuals.
- Experience working with contract manufacturers (CMs) and supporting mass production.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Excellent communication and documentation habits.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Good team player with a collaborative mindset.
- Fluent in English & Mandarin (in order to liaise with Mandarin speaking suppliers).
- Availability to travel as necessary for visiting of suppliers/contract manufacturers.
Bonuses
- Experience with wireless technologies (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee).
- Experience with Linux-based embedded systems (Yocto, Buildroot).
- Knowledge of safety standards (UL, IEC) and EMC/ESD compliance.
- Exposure to Python for test automation or scripting.
- Experience with low-power design for portable or battery-powered devices.
