Embedded Hardware System Design

CIEL HR; Khordha; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 2,400,000; Full time

Job summary

CIEL HR in India seeks an experienced Embedded Hardware Engineer to architect flight control HW, select MCU/MPU/SoC, manage power, sensors, and safety circuitry for airborne systems.

You will design high-speed PCBs, integrate IMU, GPS, barometer, and develop interfaces like MIPI, Ethernet, CAN, and UART, while ensuring SWaP optimization and EMI/EMC compliance.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design flight control hardware including MCU/MPU/SoC selection (ARM CortexM/A, MPU+FPGA where required), Power management, sensor interfaces, and safety circuitry
• Design schematics and multi-layer PCBs optimized for High-speed operation, Low noise and signal integrity
• Integrate flight-critical sensors IMU, magnetometer, barometer, GPS, airspeed sensors
• Implement redundancy, watchdogs, fail-safe, and health monitoring circuits
• Design payload control and processing boards for cameras, RF modules, EW payloads or custom mission sensors
• Support high-bandwidth data interfaces MIPI CSI/DSI, Ethernet, USB, CAN, LVDS, UART
• Develop interface boards for gimbals, actuators, and high-speed data links
• Optimize payload electronics for size, weight, power (SWaP) constraints
• Design efficient power architecture: DC-DC converters, LDOs, EMI filters, battery interfaces
• Perform high-speed digital design: DDR, Ethernet PHYs, high-speed serial links
• EMI/EMC compliance and noise robustness for avionics-grade systems
• Bring-up and debug new hardware boards
• Perform: Signal integrity and power integrity analysis, Thermal, vibration, and environmental testing
• Support HIL/SIL testing and flight trials
• Root-cause and resolve hardware failures from lab to field
• Generate production-ready documentation: Schematics, PCB layouts, Gerbers, BoM, test procedures
• Support DFM/DFA reviews with manufacturing partners
• Assist in production testing, yield improvement, and field issue resolution
