Job Description

We are looking for a Lead/Principal Hardware Engineer with strong hands-onexperience in smart electricity meter hardware design and development.

The role will involve owning the end-to-end hardware design and validation ofsingle-phase and three-phase electricity meters, including Whole Current (WC),Low-Tension Current Transformer (LTCT), and High-Tension Current Transformer(HTCT) variants.

The successful candidate will be responsible for schematic design, multi-layer PCBdesign, metrology circuits, power supplies, hardware bring-up, debugging,validation, and supporting EVT/DVT/PVT builds through production.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of metering hardware based on energy measurement AFE/ICs, for single-phase and three-phase applications.
  
• Design current-sensing front ends appropriate for WC, LTCT, and HTCTmeter variants using shunts, current transformers (CTs), and Rogowskicoils, as applicable.
  
• Perform schematic capture and multi-layer PCB design using AltiumDesigner and/or Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, Mentor PADS, or KiCad.
  
• Own component selection, BOM development, PCB stack-up definition,design-for-manufacturing (DFM), and design-for-test (DFT) activities.
  
• Design and validate metering power supplies, including SMPS and/orcapacitive dropper power supplies, as applicable to the product architecture.
  
• Implement surge, ESD, EFT, and other protection mechanisms required forreliable meter operation and regulatory compliance.
  
• Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, characterization, and validation.activities from prototype through production.Plan and execute EVT, DVT,and PVT builds in collaboration with EMS/CM partners.
  
• Define and support the development of production jigs, fixtures,automated/manual test stations, and hardware validation setups.
  
• Work closely with firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality,and certification teams to resolve hardware and system-level issues.
  
• Support regulatory and certification testing, including accuracy, type testing,EMC/immunity, surge, ESD, and environmental qualification.
  

Required Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics Communication Engineering(ECE), Electrical Electronics Engineering (EEE), or a related discipline.
  
• 6+ years of relevant experience in electronics hardware design, preferablywith significant experience in smart electricity meters or meteringequipment.
  
• Demonstrated experience taking hardware products through the completedevelopment lifecycle, from architecture and schematic design through PCBdevelopment, prototype bring-up, validation, certification, and production.
