The company provides end-to-end engineering services, product development support and advanced training & certification programs in Battery and AI space. Techlanz is also developing Battery Digital Twin in combination with the battery tech.

Position OverviewJoin our Hardware R&D team as an Embedded Hardware Design Intern, where you’ll help turn product concepts into robust, testable electronic prototypes. You’ll work alongside senior hardware, firmware, and manufacturing engineers on schematic capture, PCB layout support, bring-up, and lab validation—gaining real, hands-on exposure to embedded systems used in consumer, IoT, and industrial applications.

Job Responsibilities

• Assist in schematic capture for MCU-, sensor-, and power-based circuits using Altium/KiCad under guidance.
• Contribute to PCB layout activities (layer stack decisions, placement, routing, DRC fixes) and prepare fabrication/assembly files (Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place).
• Support board bring-up: solder/rework prototypes, power-on testing, interface checks (I²C, SPI, UART), and basic firmware flashing via JTAG/SWD.
• Execute lab validation using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM, and power supplies; log measurements and anomalies with clear test notes.
• Debug common hardware issues (signal integrity, noise, grounding, power rails) with systematic root-cause analysis.
• Perform component selection from datasheets; create and maintain symbols/footprints and accurate BOMs.
• Run basic simulations (LTspice/PSPICE) for filters, power stages, and signal chains; compare results with bench data.
• Participate in design reviews; capture actions, implement fixes, and update documentation/version control (Git).
• Support DFM/DFT readiness: footprints, test-points, panelization inputs, and assembly guidelines for EMS partners.
• Assist in pre-compliance checks for EMI/EMC and ESD handling practices; document findings and propose mitigations.
• Collaborate with firmware/mechanical teams to resolve electro-mechanical fit, connector pinouts, and interface timing.
• Prepare concise build reports, test plans, and user notes for internal and manufacturing stakeholders.

Qualifications, Experience, Skills

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in ECE/EEE (final-year or recent graduate); strong analog/digital electronics fundamentals.
• Familiarity with schematic/PCB tools (Altium Designer or KiCad/Eagle) and library management (symbols, footprints, 3D).
• Working knowledge of microcontrollers (STM32/ESP32/AVR) and common interfaces: I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC.
• Hands-on with lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM, bench PSU) and safe ESD practices.
• Basics of power electronics (buck/boost regulators, LDOs), decoupling, grounding, and signal integrity.
• Ability to read datasheets, create BOMs, and perform component derating/alternates identification.
• Exposure to circuit simulation (LTspice/PSPICE/Multisim) and simple worst-case/thermal checks preferred.
• Understanding of prototyping workflows (reflow/soldering, rework) and bring-up/board-level debugging.
• Bonus: awareness of EMI/EMC considerations, IEC/BIS safety norms, and DFM/DFT for volume manufacturing.
• Strong documentation habits, version control (Git), curiosity, and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment.
