Job summary

Tricog Health is seeking a Hardware Engineer with 4–5 years of hands-on electronics hardware design experience to join our hardware team in Bengaluru. You will design schematics and PCB layouts, bring boards up, debug, and collaborate with firmware and software engineers across distributed teams.

The role involves bench-characterisation, EMC/IEC 60601-1 pre-compliance checks, and developing validation scripts in Python or C to streamline testing and data analysis.

Qualifications

• 4–5 years and more of hands-on electronics hardware design.

Responsibilities

• Design schematics and layout PCBs; own bring-up and debugging of new boards.
• Characterise boards on the bench with oscilloscope, logic analyser, and power measurements; run pre-compliance checks (EMC, IEC 60601-1).
• Evaluate analog and differential signal chains and characterise performance against requirements.
• Take a board from design through fabrication, assembly and production test with vendors.
• Write Python or C scripts for hardware validation, test automation, and data analysis.

Job description

Tricog Health is a medical technology company delivering telecardiology at scale. Our InstaECG and InstaEcho platforms combine AI with a team of cardiologists to report ECGs in under 20 minutes (critical cases within 10 minutes) and echocardiograms within 2 hours, detecting over 140 heart conditions across clinics, emergency departments, cardiac care units and cath labs. At this point, we have diagnosed more than 13 million lives of patients. Our hardware team designs the devices behind this service, from the ECG recorders and the VCardia point-of-care system to a new ultrasound platform.

• Designation: Hardware Engineer.
• Experience: 4 - 5 years & more of hands-on electronics hardware design.

What You'll Do:

• Design schematics and lay out PCBs; own bring-up and debugging of new boards.
• Characterise boards on the bench (oscilloscope, logic analyser, power measurements) against requirements, and run pre-compliance checks (EMC, IEC 60601-1) before the test house.
• Evaluate analog and differential signal chains; characterise performance against requirements.
• Select components by going through datasheets under real constraints (cost, power, availability, lead time)
• Take a board from design through fabrication, assembly and production test, working with contract manufacturers and vendors.
• Write Python or C scripts for hardware validation, test automation, and data analysis.
• Use AI tools (Claude Code, NotebookLM, etc.) to accelerate design work, debugging, and documentation.
• Read and summarise technical papers; translate findings into actionable design decisions.
• Collaborate with firmware and software engineers; communicate clearly across a distributed team.

Good to Have:

• Board design around an FPGA (power sequencing, configuration, high-speed I/O, layout)
• Firmware development in C for microcontrollers beyond bring-up (RTOS, drivers, application code)
• Working with AI agents (Claude Code or similar) as part of the daily design workflow.
• Linux SoM / compute-module based system design (MIPI, high-speed interfaces)
• High-channel-count analog front ends (ultrasound, multi-channel ADC systems)
• Wireless standards: Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE.
• Any hardware product taken from design all the way through to mass production.

Who You Are:

• Curious and self-driven — comfortable picking up research papers and figuring things out independently without being asked.
• Collaborative and pleasant to work with — you contribute to a positive team environment and people enjoy working with you.
• Proactive communicator — you flag blockers early and share findings openly.
