Descrição da vaga

Job Description

We are seeking a Hardware Engineer with at least 5 years of proven industry experience designing and delivering field-deployed electronic equipment. This role will lead and execute hardware development activities for embedded controllers, mixed analog/digital systems, communication devices, motor-drive interfaces, power converters, and industrial electronics.

Job Description

We are seeking a Hardware Engineer with at least 5 years of proven industry experience designing and delivering field-deployed electronic equipment. This role will lead and execute hardware development activities for embedded controllers, mixed analog/digital systems, communication devices, motor-drive interfaces, power converters, and industrial electronics.
The Senior Hardware Engineer is expected to own complex designs, guide technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and drive products from concept through validation, production release, and field support. The role requires strong hands‑on capability, sound engineering judgment, and a demonstrated record of releasing reliable products into real operating environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of mixed-signal hardware for embedded control, communications, sensing, motor drives, and power conversion.
• Own the PCBA lifecycle, from architecture, requirements, schematics, and component selection through prototyping, bring-up, validation, and production release.
• Define hardware requirements, design trade-offs, validation strategies, and acceptance criteria.
• Model and analyze electrical systems, including power converters, motor‑drive circuits, protection circuits, and control interfaces.
• Define and support digital control requirements using simulations, calculations, and experimental data.
• Lead board‑and system‑level debugging, addressing EMI/EMC, thermal, grounding, signal and power integrity, and environmental robustness.
• Drive root‑cause analysis for field failures, production issues, and reliability concerns; support supplier evaluation, DFM/DFT, certification, and engineering changes.
• Work across engineering and product teams, mentor engineers, and prepare or review technical documentation, test plans, validation reports, and release packages.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Control and Automation Engineering, or a related field; 5+ years of hardware development experience.
• Proven experience delivering production‑ready, mixed‑signal hardware for embedded systems, including analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers, power electronics, protection, and communication interfaces.
• Strong PCBA lifecycle experience, from schematic design and PCB review through prototype bring‑up, validation, and production support; familiarity with Altium or similar ECAD tools.
• Hands‑on debugging experience with lab equipment, EMI/EMC, grounding, filtering, thermal behavior, and reliability, preferably in industrial, energy, automotive, agricultural, or other harsh environments.
• Fluent English.
