We are seeking a competent and enthusiastic Senior Hardware Design Engineer with expertise in Altium Designer and a strong background in hardware design and testing for automotive applications in the Electric Vehicle (EV) domain. Role Overview: As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, executing, and supporting Battery Management Systems (BMS), Vehicle Control Units (VCU), and Motor Control Units (MCU) for both low-voltage and high-voltage applications. You will work in a dynamic environment, collaborating across teams to drive innovation, reliability, and performance in our products. The ideal candidate is highly motivated, detail-oriented, and solution-driven, with a relentless focus on delivering high-quality, on-time results. This role requires someone who does not limit themselves by defined responsibilities but instead takes ownership to ensure the success of the product. Key Responsibilities: Design and develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, including motor control systems, power supplies, and embedded hardware Create circuit schematics, perform simulations (PSPICE, LTSPICE), and oversee PCB layouts Optimize hardware designs for manufacturability, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Design and analyze DC/DC switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and linear power supplies, including flyback, buck converters, linear regulators, and series pass regulators. Perform detailed component selection, including resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, and overcurrent/overvoltage protection circuits. Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC regulations, troubleshoot and resolve electromagnetic interference issues. Conduct detailed electrical analysis, calculating currents and voltages across all circuit components. Prepare engineering documentation, including hardware design documents, test plans, and validation reports. Research and implement emerging technologies to drive innovation in power electronics and embedded hardware. Evaluate and recommend cost-effective, scalable technological alternatives for future product development. Apply thermal management techniques and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) best practices in hardware design. Ensure strict adherence to safety standards and regulatory requirements throughout the development lifecycle. Demonstrate expertise in ISO 26262 functional safety standards, specifically ASIL C/ASIL D-compliant designs. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including firmware, software, and system engineering, to ensure seamless product integration. Qualifications & Skills: BE/ B.Tech OR ME / MTech / MS in Electonics / Electrical / Instrumentation / Robotics, etc. 2+ years of hands-on experience in automotive hardware design and testing. Strong expertise in Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout, and design reviews. In-depth knowledge of power electronics, battery management systems, and vehicle control architectures. Experience in EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and functional safety (ISO 26262 ASIL C/D). Proficiency in circuit simulation tools (PSPICE, LTSPICE) and hardware debugging techniques. Ability to analyze and optimize PCB layouts for signal integrity, power efficiency, and thermal performance. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot hardware issues at both component and system levels. Passion for electric mobility and automotive innovation, with a proactive and ownership-driven mindset.
