Job Title: Sr. Hardware Engineer

Experience: 4–6 Years

Location: Ahmedabad

Openings: 01 

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Sr. Hardware Engineer with strong experience in RF, audio, and Bluetooth product design. You will lead hardware development for NPI (New Product Introduction) projects, focusing on schematic design, PCB layout, system validation, and production readiness, while working cross-functionally with global and local teams. 

Key Responsibilities:

● NPI Hardware Design: Lead or contribute to NPI projects including schematic design, high speed/RF PCB layout, BOM creation, prototyping, and debugging.

● Design Execution: Own full hardware design cycle – schematic, layout , and validation.Including Flex and Rigid-Flex designs – ensuring signal integrity and manufacturability.

● Production Readiness: Ensure hardware is ready for mass production, including BOM finalization, DFM, DFT, yield optimization, and close collaboration with suppliers.

● Testing & Validation: Perform and oversee bench-level testing, debugging, validation, and root-cause analysis.

● DFM & Compliance: Ensure all hardware is designed with DFM/DFT principles, EMI/EMC compliance, and production ramp-up readiness.

● Cross-functional Collaboration: Coordinate with mechanical (SolidWorks), firmware, and production teams for enclosure integration, system fit, and manufacturability. 

Documentation: Generate all technical documents including schematics, BOMs, test reports, layout notes, and compliance summaries.

● Mentorship: Guide junior engineers or interns in basic tasks, layout techniques, and testing practices.

● Innovation: Stay up to date with RF, Bluetooth, and audio hardware trends and propose value-added improvements.  

Must-Have Skills:

● Bachelor’s degree in Electronics or equivalent.

● 4–6 years of experience in hardware design for embedded or consumer electronics.

● Schematic design and strong PCB layout experience for high-speed and RF circuits.

● Proficient in EDA tools: Altium, Cadence,KiCAD

● Experience with RF (BLE, Wi-Fi, Sub-GHz), Audio analog front ends, and Bluetooth Classic/LE modules.

● Sound knowledge of DFM, EMI/EMC design, and PCB manufacturing process.

● Comfortable with SolidWorks or 3D CAD tools for enclosure/mechanical coordination.

● Conduct board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging using lab tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, VNA, etc.).

Bonus/Preferred Skills:

● Exposure to RF simulation tools like CST, ADS, or Microwave Office.

● Familiarity with compliance and certification standards (FCC, CE, etc.).

● Experience working in NPI or fast-paced product development environments.

● Understanding of firmware-hardware co-design.
