Job summary

Datacultr, a global Digital Operating System for risk management and debt recovery, is seeking a PCB Design Engineer in Gurugram to design compact, ruggedized boards from schematic capture to fabrication-ready Gerbers. You'll collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams, ensuring high-speed, EMI-conscious layouts and robust power delivery.

This role offers exposure to global stakeholders and a fast-paced, result-driven environment.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years of PCB design and embedded hardware experience.
• Proficient with Altium Designer (schematic capture and PCB layout).
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA and PCB fabrication constraints.
• Experience selecting components from Mouser/Digikey/Octopart.

Responsibilities

• Design multi-layer PCBs in Altium Designer from schematic capture to layout, routing, and DFM/DFA checks.
• Select components (MOSFETs, MCUs, RF modules, sensors, power regulators) balancing cost, availability, and performance.
• Design power delivery networks, signal integrity-critical traces, and EMI/ESD protection.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering using Fusion 360 for enclosure fit, thermal considerations, and 3D board-in-box validation.
• Use CircuitMaker or equivalent for early-stage schematic prototyping/collaboration where applicable.
• Generate and validate BOMs, Gerbers, pick-and-place files, and fab/assembly documentation.
• Work with contract manufacturers for prototyping bring-up and troubleshooting.
• Support bring-up and debug of assembled boards (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer).
• Maintain design revision history and documentation standards.

Job description

Datacultr is a global Digital Operating System for risk management and debt recovery, helping consumer lending, retail, telecom, and fintech organisations expand into the under-penetrated New-to-Credit and Thin-File segments. We drive collection efficiency, reduce delinquencies, and lower NPLs.

We're on a mission to enable 35 million unbanked and under-served consumers to access formal financial services by the end of 2026. Our clients span India, South Asia, South East Asia, Africa, and LATAM. We're headquartered in Dubai, with offices in Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Nairobi, and Mexico City. Our development centre is in Gurugram, India.

The Role

We are looking for a PCB Design Engineer — from schematic capture through fabrication-ready Gerbers. You'll work closely with firmware and mechanical teams on compact, ruggedized, sensor-heavy boards for edge-deployed systems.

Core Responsibilitie

• Design multi-layer PCBs in Altium Designer, from schematic capture to layout, routing, and DFM/DFA checks
• Select components (MOSFETs, MCUs, RF modules, sensors, power regulators) balancing cost, availability, and performance
• Design power delivery networks, signal integrity-critical traces (high-speed, RF, analog), and EMI/ESD protection
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering using Fusion 360 for enclosure fit, thermal considerations, and 3D board-in-box validation
• Use CircuitMaker or equivalent for early-stage schematic prototyping/collaboration where applicable
• Generate and validate BOMs, Gerbers, pick-and-place files, and fab/assembly documentation
• Work with contract manufacturers (CMs) for prototyping, bring-up, and troubleshooting
• Support bring-up and debug of assembled boards (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
• Maintain design revision history and documentation standards

Key Requirements

• 3-6 years of experience in PCB design and embedded hardware development
• Strong hands-on experience with Altium Designer (schematic + PCB layout)
• Working knowledge of Fusion 360 for mechanical/electro-mechanical co-design
• Solid grasp of analog/digital circuit design fundamentals — power regulation, signal integrity, grounding/shielding
• Experience with component selection, datasheets, and sourcing (Mouser/Digikey/Octopart)
• Understanding of DFM/DFA principles and PCB fabrication constraints
• Comfortable reading and debugging with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers

Good to Have

• Experience with RF/antenna design or GSM/LTE modules
• Familiarity with CircuitMaker or similar schematic capture tools
• Exposure to ESP32/embedded MCU-based product design
• Familiarity with UART/I2C/SPI protocol-level integration and OEM protocol design
• Prior experience in defence-tech, IoT, or ruggedized product environments
• Basic firmware literacy (C/C++) to collaborate effectively with embedded teams

What We Offer

• A front-row seat to the build-out of unsecured lending in emerging markets
• Direct exposure to senior stakeholders across global financial services
• Competitive base + variable tied to qualified meetings and SQLs
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefitsA high-velocity, low-bureaucracy environment where good ideas ship the same week
