Lead Hardware Engineer

Job Title: Lead Hardware Engineer

Experience: 6–7 Years

Location: Hadapsar, Pune

Work Mode- Work From Office

Role Overview:

The Lead Hardware Engineer will be responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and validation of electronic hardware for embedded and IoT systems. This role requires deep technical expertise in circuit design, PCB development, and hardware testing — along with leadership to guide a team of engineers through the full product lifecycle from concept to mass production.

Key Responsibilities: Hardware Design & Development

• Lead schematic design, component selection, and PCB layout for embedded systems and electronic products.
• Develop analog and digital circuits including power supply, sensor interfaces, and communication modules.
• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, and design validation testing.
• Ensure design compliance with EMC, safety, and industry standards.

Project Ownership

• Translate system requirements into detailed hardware specifications.
• Manage hardware development schedules, prototypes, and documentation.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams for integrated product design.
• Support design reviews and continuous improvement activities.

Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead a team of junior and mid-level hardware engineers.
• Review schematics and PCB layouts; ensure design quality and adherence to best practices.
• Provide technical guidance and hands-on mentoring in circuit design and debugging.

Testing & Validation

• Develop test plans, perform hardware validation, and analyze results.
• Work with QA and production teams to support prototype testing and design-for-manufacturing (DFM).
• Troubleshoot field issues and implement design improvements.

Technical Skills Required:

• Strong expertise in analog/digital circuit design, signal integrity, and power management.
• Proficient with EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, or Eagle).
• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM, STM32, ESP32, etc.), sensors, and communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, RS485).
• Familiarity with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc.).
• Knowledge of embedded hardware design best practices, EMI/EMC considerations, and thermal design.
• Understanding of hardware-software integration and firmware bring-up processes.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with IoT devices, wireless modules (Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, GSM), and power electronics.
• Exposure to DFM / DFT principles and production test setup.
• Experience in compliance testing (CE, FCC, ROHS).
• Project management tools (JIRA, Confluence, or similar).

Key Deliverables:

• Functional hardware prototypes.
• Design documentation and test reports.
• BOM, schematics, and Gerber files ready for production.
• Trained and guided team members with improved technical output.
