Electronics Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Role of an Electronics Hardware Engineer (R&D Department)

Electronics Hardware Engineer in R&D

• Designing and developing

  electronic circuits

  (analog, digital, mixed-signal).
• Creating

  prototype hardware systems

  for testing and evaluation.
• Supporting the development of

  innovative electronic products

  by researching and implementing new technologies.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams including software, mechanical, and product teams.

1. Circuit Design & Development

• Design

  schematics and layouts

  for PCBs using tools like

  Altium Designer, Eagle, OrCAD

  .
• Select appropriate

  electronic components

  (ICs, resistors, capacitors, etc.).
• Design analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuits depending on application needs.
  

2. Prototyping & Testing

• Build and test

  prototypes

  using breadboards or custom PCBs.
• Perform

  functional, stress, and reliability testing

  on hardware.
• Use equipment like

  oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters

  , etc.

3. Simulation & Analysis

• Simulate circuits using tools like

  SPICE, Proteus, Multisim

  .
• Analyze performance to ensure it meets

  specs, safety, and compliance standards

  .

4. Documentation

• Prepare detailed

  technical documentation

  , including schematics, test plans, BOM (Bill of Materials), and design justifications.
• Maintain version control and

  design records

  for audits and certifications.

5. Collaboration & Integration

• Coordinate with

  embedded software

  , mechanical, and product development teams.
• Support

  firmware integration

  , especially for microcontroller-based designs.

6. Innovation & Research

• Research emerging technologies and

  evaluate new components and design methods

  .
• Work on

  patents or papers

  if required by the organization.
• Optimize power, size, cost, and performance of electronics.
  

7. Compliance & Standards

• Ensure designs comply with

  industry standards

  (e.g., EMC, RoHS, ISO).
• Support

  certification

  processes for CE, UL, FCC, etc.

Skills Required

• Strong knowledge of

  analog/digital electronics

• Hands-on experience with

  PCB design tools

• Proficiency in

  circuit simulation

• Understanding of

  embedded systems

• Ability to work with

  test and measurement tools

• Basic knowledge of

  firmware or embedded C

  is often a plus
• Familiarity with

  compliance and testing standards
