Design Engineer / Sr. Design Engineer – Electronics

Role Summary:

The Design Engineer will take part in whole end-to-end electronic design, development, prototyping, and testing of advanced electro-optical products such as thermal imagers, night vision systems, and weapon upgrade kits. The role involves hardware and embedded software design, cross-functional collaboration, and technical documentation, with a strong focus on innovation and quality.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electronics Design & Development:

• Lead and execute electronic hardware design including

  schematic design, PCB layout

  , component selection, and design validation.
• Design and develop embedded systems using

  MCUs like PIC, ESP32

  , etc.
• Develop and debug firmware/software using various tools.
• Ensure integration with mechanical and optical verticals for seamless product development.
• Modify existing designs for new requirements and upgrade existing products.

2. Testing, Debugging & Lab Work:

• Conduct

  testing and debugging

  using lab tools such as

  DSO, CRO, Logic Analyser,

  etc.
• Perform root cause analysis and support corrective design actions.
• Assist in prototype development, functional validation, and pre-production testing.

3. OEM & Technology Interaction:

• Source and evaluate global/local

  OEM components

  (thermal cores, lasers, microcontrollers, etc.) based on obsolescence, cost, and availability.
• Liaise with OEMs, DRDO labs, CSIR, SAMEER, and private labs for testing (EMI/EMC) and technology collaboration.

4. Project & Documentation Management:

• Maintain complete

  design documentation

  : requirement analysis, system architecture, schematic, BOM, testing reports, ECNs, etc.
• Prepare technical brochures, assembly/disassembly guides, and technology notes on ICCD, CMOS, SWIR/LWIR, etc.
• Ensure

  ECN control

  , SAP codification, and BOM finalisation and uploading.

5. Cross-functional Collaboration:

• Coordinate with

  Mechanical, Optical, and SCM teams

  for product housing, procurement, and timely execution.
• Work with Engineering & Project teams on client-specific tenders (RFI/RFP).
• Submit periodic updates, reports, and MIS to RM/HOD.

6. Innovation & Continuous Improvement:

• Analyse global technology trends and competitive products.
• Recommend in-house projects and contribute to joint development with DRDO/CSIR where feasible.
• Improve production techniques and address field feedback/improvement points.

Preferred Skills & Tools:

• Strong experience in

  Electronic Circuit Design

  ,

  Embedded Systems

  , and

  PCB development

  .
• Proficiency in

  Embedded Programming

  (C/C++) for platforms like

  ESP32, PIC,

  etc.
• Hands-on experience with

  lab testing tools

  : CRO, DSO, Logic Analyzer, etc.
• Familiarity with SAP for BOM and inventory management is a plus.

Qualifications & Experience:

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics/Electronics & Communication/Embedded Systems.
• 3–7 years of relevant experience in electronic product design & development.
• Experience in the

  defence, opto-electronics, or embedded systems

  industry will be preferred.
