Hardware Design Engineer (MCU-Based Embedded Systems)

Qualification

B.E. / B.Tech in Electronics & Telecommunication (EXTC), Instrumentation, or Electrical Engineering.

M.Sc. in Electronics or Diploma in Industrial Electronics with significant relevant experience.

Work Experience

• 3-10 years of experience as a Hardware Design Engineer.

Core Technical Skills

Microcontrollers: Proficient in designing with 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit MCUs (Experience with STM32, PIC, Microchip, Renesas, or Nuvoton families is preferred).

Circuit Design: Strong grasp of Analog, Digital, and Mixed-Signal circuit design (Op-amps, ADCs, DACs, Signal Conditioning for sensors like Thermocouples/RTDs).

PCB Design: Hands‑on experience with EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad, or Orcad) for Schematic Capture and Multi‑layer PCB Layout.

Industrial Protocols: Knowledge of hardware interfaces for Modbus RS-485, SPI, I2C, UART, and TCP/IP (Ethernet/Wi‑Fi).

Power Supply Design: Experience designing linear and SMPS power supplies, and battery management circuits.

Compliance: Understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for EMC/EMI (noise immunity in industrial environments).

Soft Skills

Ability to troubleshoot hardware using Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and Multimeters.

Strong documentation skills for creating Bill of Materials (BOM) and fabrication files.

Effective communication to collaborate with firmware engineers and production teams.

Location

• Dahisar East (Prefer candidate from Mumbai Western Suburb).

Job Description

Design & Development: Conceptualize and design hardware architecture for new temperature controllers, data loggers, and thyristor power cards.

Schematic & Layout: Create error‑free schematics and PCB layouts, ensuring signal integrity and thermal management for high‑current applications.

Component Selection: Select cost‑effective and available electronic components (active/passive) while managing the BOM to prevent obsolescence issues.

Prototyping & Testing: Assemble and debug prototypes. Conduct rigorous testing for linearity, accuracy, and temperature drift.

Industrial Hardening: Perform pre‑compliance testing for surge protection, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electrical noise filtering suitable for heavy industrial factory floors.

Production Support: Generate Gerber files, pick‑and‑place files, and test procedures for the manufacturing team. Assist in resolving field failures or RMA analysis.

Legacy Maintenance: Upgrade existing analog/digital designs to modern MCU‑based architectures to improve performance and reduce cost.
