About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Significant experience in electronic design, including schematic design, component selection, PCB design, and design-for-manufacture, with depth across the full electronic design flow.
  • Experience managing or leading electronic design engineers, ideally across multiple locations or in a global team structure.
  • Hands-on knowledge of bill of materials management, component engineering, EEPROM setup and configuration, and PCB design and layout practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive designs from concept through design, validation, qualification, and production readiness.
  • Ability to collaborate and communicate across engineering, signal integrity, test, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, operations, sales, and product management.
  • Ability to engage credibly in electrical and electronic technical discussions with customer engineering teams and internal subject-matter experts.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and own all electronic design elements for internal cable products, including riser cables, and ICM product design, covering bill of materials, schematic capture, component selection, EEPROM setup and configuration, PCB design, and design-for-manufacture.
  • Manage, mentor, and grow a global team of electronic design engineers across multiple sites, setting clear standards, priorities, and development plans.
  • Establish and enforce electronic design standards, design rules, review gates, and design-for-manufacture/design failure mode and effects analysis practices to ensure consistent, high-quality, manufacturable designs across all sites.
  • Own bill of materials creation and management, driving component selection for performance, reliability, availability, cost, and supply continuity in partnership with sourcing and quality.
  • Own design-for-cost discipline across electronic design decisions, ensuring architecture, component selection, PCB technology, manufacturing process choices, and supplier constraints are evaluated against cost, performance, manufacturability, and supply-continuity trade-offs.
  • Lead should-cost analysis for electronic design content, partnering with sourcing, cost engineering, manufacturing, and product management to establish cost targets, validate supplier quotes, identify cost drivers, and drive value-engineering actions without compromising technical requirements.
  • Direct schematic design, PCB layout, and stack-up definition, ensuring designs meet electrical performance, signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and reliability requirements.
  • Define and oversee EEPROM setup, configuration data, and programming requirements across product families to ensure correct interoperability and platform compliance.
  • Partner with signal integrity, test, validation, mechanical design, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, operations, sales, and product management to align scope, timing, risks, and deliverables.
  • Drive design reviews, validation, qualification, and release activities with clear ownership, disciplined execution, and timely escalation.
  • Engage with customer and original design manufacturer/original equipment manufacturer engineering teams on electronic design requirements, trade-offs, validation results, failure analysis, corrective actions, and readiness.
  • Resolve complex electronic design issues spanning schematic, component, PCB, EEPROM, signal integrity, manufacturability, supplier quality, and customer qualification.
  • Capture voice-of-customer input and technology trends and feed them into design rules, component roadmaps, cost-reduction plans, and product development strategies.
  • Maintain ownership of cost-reduction roadmaps for electronic design elements, including alternate components, PCB stack-up optimization, design simplification, supplier optionality, and roadmap alignment with customer and business cost expectations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Signal integrity knowledge, including high-speed channel behavior, signal integrity/power integrity validation, and interfaces such as PCIe or related standards.
  • Direct Integrated Connector Module and magnetics product design experience.
  • Experience with internal cable assemblies, riser cables, high-speed connectors, and data center, server, storage, or networking platform applications.
  • Strong design-for-manufacture/design failure mode and effects analysis discipline and experience taking electronic designs into high-volume manufacturing.
  • Proven experience applying design-for-cost, should-cost analysis, value engineering, or costed bill of materials ownership in electronic product development or high-volume manufacturing environments.
  • Experience leading globally distributed engineering teams and standardizing design processes across sites.
  • Fluent Mandarin and English communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with Taiwan-based customers and global internal teams.

About the Company

Koch Industries

Private conglomerate in energy and materials

Koch Industries is a large, private, diversified conglomerate that operates in energy, chemical processing, and manufacturing. It started from an innovation that turned heavy crude oil into gasoline and grew through long‑term investments rather than short‑term market moves. The company generates value by refining fuels and producing chemical products, and it operates Georgia-Pacific, a major maker of paper and building products. Its business model relies on reinvesting most earnings back into the company to fund steady, long‑term growth rather than paying out frequent dividends or seeking quick profits. Koch differentiates itself from many competitors by staying privately owned, which reduces pressure from public markets and enables longer‑range planning. The company’s goal is to build scale and durability across its holdings by sustainable, multi‑decade growth rather than rapid, episodic gains.
