Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Requirements Engineering & Traceability
• Lead definition, decomposition, and validation of hardware requirements from system and stakeholder inputs (functional, electrical, environmental, safety, regulatory).
• Establish and enforce bi‑directional traceability from stakeholder → system → hardware → design artifacts → verification → validation (V-model).
• Product Development Leadership
• Translate requirements into architectural choices and design constraints for PCBs, power, analog/mixed-signal, and environmental constraints.
• Collaborate with Electrical Design, Layout, and FW to ensure requirements are feasible, cost‑optimized, and testable.
• Align requirements with DFx (DFT/DFM/DFR), EMI/EMC, safety (e.g., IEC/UL), thermal, and reliability objectives.
• Guide teams through FMEA, FTA, worst‑case analysis (WCA), tolerance analysis, derating, and component selection aligned to lifecycle and obsolescence plans.
• Atleast lead min 1 product end to end responsibility from Design to Release to Market.
• Experience on ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) controller development is added advantage.

Must‑Have Qualifications

• 10–14 years of hands‑on hardware development experience, including:
• Analog design (low‑noise, precision, sensor interfaces, signal integrity)
• Power supply design AC/DC and DC‑DC flyback,Full bridge etc.
• Mixed‑signal systems (ADC integration, grounding, isolation strategies)
• Digital design (MCUs, FPGAs, high‑speed logic, clocking architectures)
• Deep understanding of PCB design and hardware architecture, including:
• Multi‑layer PCB stack‑up planning
• EMI/EMC‑aware layout practices
• Thermal‑aware design and component placement
• Proven expertise in hardware design analysis and validation, including:
• Worst Case Analysis (WCA), derating, and tolerance stack‑up analysis
• Simulation tools (SPICE, SI tools,
• Solid expertise in EMI/EMC and regulatory compliance, including:
• Design for compliance (emissions, immunity, ESD, EFT, surge)
• Standards such as IEC, UL, CISPR, ISO (as applicable)
• Pre‑compliance and certification test strategies
• Strong hardware debugging and root‑cause analysis capability:
• System‑level issue isolation across analog, digital, and power domains
• Experience resolving EMI/EMC failures, field issues, and production escapes
• Expertise in component engineering and lifecycle management, including:
• Component selection based on performance, cost, and availability
• Obsolescence risk mitigation and second sourcing
• Supplier technical interaction and qualification
