Senior Control Electronics Engineer (R&D)

About the role

ABB is hiring a Senior Control Electronics Engineer in its R&D team in Beijing, reporting to the R&D Team Lead. The role covers system and circuit design, simulation and verification, PCB design, debugging and testing, productization and technical pre-research.

Key responsibilities

• System design: define technical specifications and interfaces for control electronics hardware (main controller, power supply, communication, sampling) and design the system architecture balancing performance, cost, reliability and manufacturability.
• Circuit design: core circuits such as multi-core DSP/ARM minimum systems, FPGA logic, power supplies, high-precision ADC sampling, optical-fiber communication and sensor interfaces.
• Simulation and verification: use simulation tools for functional simulation, verification and reliability analysis.
• PCB design: multi-layer PCBs with signal integrity, power integrity and EMC/EMI performance, meeting safety regulations.
• Debugging and testing: build test platforms and independently perform functional, performance, reliability and EMC tests, troubleshooting problems.
• Productization: write design documents, test reports and production guides, support trial and mass production and drive cost reduction and quality improvement.
• Technical pre-research: track industry trends and lead selection and evaluation of new devices and technologies.

Required profile

• Master's degree or above in Electronic Engineering, Automation, Power Electronics or a related field.
• At least 5 years of control hardware development in frequency converters, servo drives, industrial control, new energy electronic control or related fields, with successful mass-production cases.
• Familiarity with electrical drive product design standards; medium-voltage frequency converter experience preferred.
• Project management experience and fluent English preferred.

Required skills

• Hardware design for TI C2000 series DSP or similar, and at least one ARM Cortex-M/R/A processor.
• Analog and digital circuit design, DC/DC power supply development and optimization, and knowledge of magnetic components.
• Simulation tools such as PSpice, LTspice or Saber.
• Multi-layer PCB design with Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro or Mentor PADS.
• Use of standard test equipment for debugging and fault diagnosis.
