Hardware Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

Design electronic circuits including analog, digital, and mixed-signal subsystems Develop and review schematics and supervise PCB layout (Altium/KiCAD/Eagle or similar). Perform component selection based on technical and commercial parameters (cost, lead time, availability). Integrate microcontrollers, power supplies, sensors, communication interfaces (RS-485, RS-232, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, USB, etc.). Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and system teams for cross-functional product development. Interface with vendors for component sourcing, PCB fabrication, and assembly. Conduct bring-up, debugging, and functional testing of prototype hardware. Create design documents: schematics, BOM, layout reviews, test reports, and production guidelines. Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC, safety, and environmental standards (e.g., CE, FCC, BIS). Support DFM/DFT improvements and ongoing product enhancements. Required Qualifications and Experience: Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or related field. 3+ years of experience in hardware design and embedded systems. Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design. Proficient in schematic capture and PCB design tools. Experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, etc. Familiar with low-power design, SMPS, signal integrity, and thermal management. Good understanding of hardware-firmware interface. Experience with compliance testing (EMI/EMC, ESD) is a plus. Good to have skills: Exposure to RF, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi module integration. Knowledge of simulation tools (LTspice, PSpice). Hands-on experience with CAD for enclosure fitment reviews. Exposure to PLM tools, version control (Git), and Agile/Scrum environment. Personal Attributes: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
