Key Responsibilities

  • Hardware Design & Development:
    Lead the complete hardware design lifecycle — from concept, schematic design, PCB layout, and prototyping to testing and production.
    Develop and validate complex multi-layer PCBs, ensuring compliance with performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards.

  • PCB Design Expertise:
    • Drive schematic capture and PCB layout using industry-standard tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, Mentor Graphics, or OrCAD.

    • Optimize PCB designs for signal integrity, power distribution, EMI/EMC performance, and thermal management.

    • Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and system engineers to ensure seamless integration of PCB designs into complete products.

  • Leadership & Mentorship:
    • Lead a team of hardware engineers and provide technical guidance throughout the product development process.

    • Review designs, conduct design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-testability (DFT) assessments, and ensure adherence to best practices.

    • Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence.

  • Testing & Validation:
    • Define test plans, perform board bring-up, debug hardware issues, and validate prototypes.

    • Work closely with test and manufacturing teams to ensure hardware reliability and quality through pre-production and mass manufacturing.

  • Cross-functional Collaboration:
    • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and system design teams to ensure holistic product functionality.

    • Engage with suppliers and manufacturing partners for component selection, cost optimization, and production support.

  • Documentation & Compliance:
    • Create and maintain detailed hardware design documentation including schematics, layout files, BOMs, and test reports.

    • Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and quality standards (CE, UL, RoHS, REACH, etc.).

Key Skills & Competencies

  • Core Expertise: PCB Design (multi-layer, high-speed, high-density boards)
  • Tools: Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, or equivalent
  • Hardware Design Skills: Analog/digital circuit design, power supply design, signal integrity, EMI/EMC control, component selection
  • Testing & Debugging: Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power analyzer, and other diagnostic tools
  • Leadership: Team management, design review, mentorship, and stakeholder communication
  • Knowledge of Manufacturing Processes: PCB fabrication, assembly, and testing methods

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • 7–15 years of hands-on experience in PCB design and hardware development
  • Proven track record of delivering complex hardware systems from concept to production
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities
