• Utilize deep knowledge of Linux, Single Board Computers and 32-bit MCUs to design electronic circuits around it.
• Integrate industrial and wireless communication interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS485/RS232, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee, LoRaWAN.
• Select components ensuring performance, reliability, lifecycle longevity, and supply chain robustness.
• Design rugged systems with surge/ESD protection and industrial-grade safety practices.
• Perform schematic design, hardware bring-up, signal integrity analysis, debugging, and root-cause investigation.
• Provide production support including test jig design and manufacturing issue debugging.
• Ensure environmental ruggedization compliance (e.g., IP65/IP67, shock/vibration standards).
• Understanding of compliance with EMI/EMC, CE, UL, FCC, and industrial product standards.
• Prepare and maintain QMS documentation with traceability and version-controlled records.

Required Qualifications:

• Ensure environmental ruggedization compliance (e.g., IP65/IP67, shock/vibration standards).
• Understanding of compliance with EMI/EMC, CE, UL, FCC, and industrial product standards.
• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in EEE / ECE / Electronics.
• Minimum 4-8 years of experience in electronic circuit design and PCB hardware development for industrial systems.
• Strong knowledge in Digital & Analog Electronics, power stages, and protection circuitry.
• PCB Design Tools: Fusion 360 – Eagle (minimum 2-layer PCB design), Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad.
• Experience in PCB layout review, stack-up design, and SI/PI considerations.
• Knowledge of memory/storage interfaces: RAM, eMMC, SD card, Flash/NVM.
• Familiarity with embedded code for board validation (basic Embedded C, Python)
• Proficient with hardware test instruments and signal/data analysis tools.
• Expertise in Design for Manufacturability and Reliability (DFM, DFA).
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC compliance — design and pre-compliance validation.
