Job description

Experience: 3+ yrs

Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, Sanand, Gujarat, India

As a Hardware Engineer, you will be responsible for driving end‑to‑end hardware development and ensuring product reliability from concept through production. You will collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to translate product requirements into robust PCB layouts, firmware interfaces, and board‑level prototypes, while maintaining compliance with industry standards. Your expertise will influence design choices, component selection, and thermal, signal‑integrity, and EMC optimizations to meet tight performance and cost targets. You will also lead troubleshooting efforts, provide design reviews, and support manufacturing turnaround to deliver high‑quality products on schedule.

Requirements

• Develop detailed PCB schematics and layout designs for new and existing products.
• Perform signal integrity, thermal, and power analysis to ensure robust performance.
• Select and specify suitable components, carriers, and passive devices for optimal functionality.
• Create design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) guidelines and collaborate with manufacturing partners for production readiness.
• Produce manufacturing test plans, repair procedures, and documented validation reports.
• Provide post‑production support, including root‑cause analysis and field‑service assistance.
• Lead rapid prototyping and iterative design improvements based on test feedback.
• Coordinate with firmware and software teams to integrate hardware and embedded software interfaces.
• Manage documentation, including bill of materials (BOM), design change records, and compliance filings.
• Continuously research emerging technologies and industry trends to enhance product competitiveness.
• Bachelor's or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field.
• Minimum 3+ years of hands‑on PCB design experience using industry‑standard tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, etc.).
• Strong understanding of high‑speed digital design, impedance control, and power delivery concepts.
• Experience with design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) and design‑for‑assembly (DFA) best practices.
• Proficient in component selection, library management, and schematic capture.
• Hands‑on experience with production test setups, boundary‑scan, and in‑circuit testing.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC, thermal simulation, and IDF/EDIF standards.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to troubleshoot hardware failures.
• Effective communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration and documentation.
• Proactive attitude toward learning and adopting new tools, standards, and emerging technologies.
