Job description

Position Summary:

We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented, and highly motivated Hardware Design

Engineer with 1 to 3 years of hands-on industry experience to join our core engineering

team. In this role, you will be owning the design, development, and validation of critical

hardware components and electronic subsystems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Schematic & PCB Design: Independently own and execute multi-layer schematic


• capture and PCB layouts, adhering to industry best practices for high-speed routing, signal integrity, and manufacturing rules (DFM/DFA).


• Subsystem Bring-up & Verification: Drive the prototyping phase, board bring-up, hardware debugging, and verification of new hardware designs using standard laboratory equipment (DSOs, MSOs, logic analyzers, electronic loads, etc.).


• Simulation & Analysis: Perform circuit simulations, power integrity analyses, and thermal estimations using tools like LTspice, PSpice, or TINA to validate design margins prior to fabrication.


• Component Engineering: Component selection, Bill of Materials (BOM) optimization, and proactive component sourcing, striking an optimal balance between reliability, cost, lead times, and design longevity.


• Design Reviews & Compliance: Actively participate in and prepare documentation for technical design reviews. Implement structural circuit protection mechanisms (EMI/EMC filtering, ESD/TVS isolation) to meet strict industrial or automotive grade parameters.


• Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate directly with embedded firmware and mechanical team members to perfectly align electrical interfaces, connector configurations, and physical enclosure constraints.


• Technical Documentation: Generate comprehensive engineering documentation, including hardware requirement specifications (HRS), verification test reports, and engineering change notices (ECN).

Qualifications & Technical Skills:

• Education: Bachelors degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering, or a strictly related field.


• Core Electronics: Strong foundation in circuit analysis, analog circuit design (op-amps, power topologies, regulators), digital circuits, and standard microcontroller architectures.


• EDA Tools: Proven professional proficiency in professional hardware design suites, such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCAD, or equivalent EDA environments.


• Circuit Protection & EMI: Direct experience or clear exposure to implementing robust hardware protection circuits, including TVS protection, isolated communication lines (CAN, UART, SPI), and input EMI filters.


• Attributes: Strong analytical problem-solving abilities, a keen eye for physical layout detail, clear technical communication skills, and an eagerness to innovate within highly collaborative teams.
