Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer
A Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer leads the end-to-end development of electronic systems, managing circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, and prototype testing. Acting as a technical lead, they guide junior engineers and ensure designs meet performance, cost, and manufacturing standards from concept to mass production.
Responsibilities
- System Design & Architecture: Lead system‑level architecture, determining hardware specifications, component selection, and defining technical roadmaps.
- Circuit & PCB Design: Perform digital and analog circuit design, schematic capture, and oversee multi‑layer PCB layout; conduct signal integrity and power integrity analyses.
- Prototyping & Bring‑up: Lead prototype bring‑up, debugging, system integration, and fault troubleshooting down to the component level.
- Testing & Validation: Develop test methodologies to conduct Design Verification Testing (DVT) and ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., EMC, EMI, and Safety certifications).
- Manufacturing Transition: Collaborate with production teams to implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Testing (DFT) principles.
- Mentorship: Provide technical coaching, design guidance, and peer reviews to junior hardware engineers.
- Simulation: Utilize Ansys EMI/EMC solution, LT‑spice, and TINA; familiarity with MATLAB & Ansys is an advantage.
- Hardware Knowledge: Deep understanding of microcontrollers, processors, FPGAs, power electronics, and communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
- Analytical Thinking: Strong problem‑solving skills for debugging, failure analysis, and design optimization.
Required / Minimum Qualifications
