Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Hardware Design Engineer to contribute to the development of telematics hardware systems for automotive applications. As a key member of the hardware engineering team, you will be responsible for designing and validating robust embedded hardware for vehicle connectivity, diagnostics, and data acquisition. This role emphasizes hands-on design, testing, and compliance with automotive standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop telematics control units (TCUs) with integrated GPS, cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and CAN interfaces.
• Define hardware architecture and select Industrial/Automotive-grade components ensuring reliability under harsh conditions (temperature, vibration, EMC).
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout reviews using tools such as Altium Designer.
• Conduct signal integrity analysis, power distribution network design, and thermal management for high-reliability operation.
• Validate hardware through rigorous testing including RF performance, EMC/EMI compliance, and environmental stress testing.
• Component selection, datasheet evaluation, and lifecycle management.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in hardware design for automotive or industrial embedded systems.
• Strong knowledge of RF design, antenna placement, and high-speed signal layout.
• Proficiency in using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.
• Familiarity with automotive standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100, CISPR 25).

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with GNSS modules, LTE/5G modems, and RF shielding techniques.
• Knowledge of power supply design including DC/DC converters and battery management.
• Exposure to design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testability (DFT).
• Understanding of reliability engineering and failure mode analysis (FMEA).
