Hardware Engineering Manager 硬體研發主管

The Role

We are looking for a Hardware Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-calibre team responsible for the design, validation, and production introduction of Peplink’s next-generation routers, access points, and connectivity appliances. You will own the full hardware lifecycle from concept through mass production, drive cross-functional execution with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams, and directly influence product roadmap decisions. This is a hands-on leadership role: we need someone who can review schematics, debug board bring-up issues, and also build a world-class engineering culture.

Key Responsibilities

1) Lead, mentor, and grow a team of hardware engineers across board design, RF, power, and signal integrity disciplines.

2) Own the end-to-end hardware development process: architecture definition, schematic and layout review, prototype build, DVT/PVT, and manufacturing handoff.

3) Drive aggressive development cycle targets (12-month concept-to-production) by removing blockers, improving tooling, and optimising team workflows.

4) Collaborate closely with firmware, product management, and industrial design teams to define product requirements and resolve cross-domain trade-offs.

5) Manage relationships with contract manufacturers, component suppliers, and test houses; lead design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews.

6) Establish and enforce design standards for high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe Gen 3/4, USB 3.x, Ethernet up to 10 GbE), cellular modem integration (4G/5G), and Wi-Fi 6E/7 RF front-ends.

7) Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies including 60 GHz mmWave radios, FPGA-based packet processing, and satellite modem interfaces.

8) Champion quality and reliability through robust HALT/HASS programmes, thermal analysis, and field-return root-cause investigations.

9) Define team hiring plans, manage budgets, and report progress to senior leadership with clear, data-driven metrics.
