INGSOL LLP; Dadri; On-site; INR 600,000 - 1,200,000; Full time

Job summary

INGSOL Labs is seeking a Hardware Design Engineer to design schematic and PCB layouts for embedded IoT boards, focusing on power, digital, and mixed-signal sections. You will prototype bring-up, debug using tools, and collaborate with firmware engineers to integrate hardware with software.

Responsibilities include BOM management, DFM/DFT reviews, and documentation from schematic to field deployment. Fresh graduates to 2 years experience are welcome.

Qualifications

• B.Tech/B.E. in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related field; fresher to 2 years.
• Hands-on experience with bare-metal ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers.
• Proficiency with KiCad or Altium for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Embedded C/C++ firmware experience at peripheral level (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC).
• Ability to read datasheets and application notes independently.

Responsibilities

• Schematic design and PCB layout for embedded/IoT boards (power, digital, mixed-signal).
• Component selection with cost, availability, and industrial-grade constraints (temperature, EMI/EMC).
• Prototype bring-up and debug using multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD.
• Write and debug low-level firmware for peripheral bring-up and board validation.
• Collaborate with firmware/software team on hardware-software integration.
• Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews; coordinate with PCB fabrication/assembly vendors.
• Document design files, BOMs, and test procedures.

Job description

INGSOL Labs is hiring a Hardware Design Engineer to work on custom IoT and edge gateway hardware for industrial

applications. You'll work alongside senior hardware and firmware engineers on production hardware — not isolated

coursework — designing, bringing up, and debugging real boards from schematic to field deployment.

1. 1. Schematic design and PCB layout for embedded/IoT boards (power, digital, mixed-signal)
2. 2. Component selection with cost, availability, and industrial-grade (temperature, EMI/EMC) constraints
3. 3. Prototype bring-up and debug using multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD
4. 5. Write and debug low-level firmware for peripheral bring-up and board validation
5. 6. Collaborate with the firmware/software team on hardware-software integration
6. 7. Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews, and coordinate with PCB fabrication/assembly vendors
7. 8. Document design files, BOMs, and test procedures

Requirements

1. 1. B.Tech/B.E. in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related field (fresher to 2 years experience)
2. 2. Working knowledge of KiCad or Altium (schematic capture and PCB layout)
3. 3. Hands-on project experience with visible debugging effort on a bare-metal ARM microcontroller (STM32 or similar Cortex-M) — worked at the register/peripheral level, not just library-abstracted code
4. 4. Embedded C/C++ firmware experience at the peripheral/driver level (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC)
5. 5. Solid fundamentals in digital/analog electronics, power supply basics, and microcontroller architecture
6. 6. Comfortable reading datasheets and application notes independently.

Preferred Qualifications

1. 1. Exposure to industrial protocols: Modbus, RS-485, CAN
2. 2. Familiarity with ARM-based SoCs/SBCs (e.g., NXP i.MX series) and/or Intel x86 embedded SoCs (N-series, Atom x7000RE)
3. 3. Embedded Linux basics (Yocto/Buildroot, image flashing/booting, device tree)
4. 4. Windows IoT/Embedded basics (driver installation, COM/USB debugging)
5. 5. RTOS experience (FreeRTOS)
6. 6. Exposure to TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking), hardware watchdog configuration, or TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
7. 7. Understanding of EMI/EMC and certification requirements (CE, UL)
8. 8. Genuine interest in industrial automation and manufacturing
