Senior Hardware Design Engineer Power Electronics

Utthunga Technologies; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,400,000 - 2,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Utthunga Technologies is seeking a hands-on hardware engineer to carry power and hardware subsystems from schematic to validated, shipping products. You will own the delivery, bring boards up on the bench, characterize current and thermal behavior, and drive EVT/DVT/PVT to production in rugged industrial platforms.

You will validate wide-input DC front-ends, AC-DC and DC-DC converters, PMICs, hot‑swap and power‑mux architectures while collaborating with cross‑functional teams to ensure

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of hands-on power electronics and hardware-validation experience in embedded/rugged products.
• A degree in Electronics / Electrical / ECE or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Proven experience taking products from design validation to production.
• Confidence reading schematics, datasheets and layouts, and debugging real hardware at the bench.
• Solid grasp of power delivery, power sequencing, EMI/EMC, thermal and DFx fundamentals.

Responsibilities

• Implement power circuits and verify the full power tree — input sources, conversion stages, rail budgets and load allocation.
• Validate power sequencing (power-up/down order, timing, EN/PG dependencies) and optimize for efficiency, thermal headroom and quiescent current.
• Own hardware bring‑up and bench debugging of new boards from first power‑on.
• Perform measurement and characterization — ripple, transient response, timing margins, current profiling and thermal mapping.
• Plan and run EVT / DVT validation and support PVT into production.
• Lead failure analysis and root‑cause investigation with data‑backed CAPA feedback.
• Support EMI/EMC pre‑compliance, noise‑source identification, filtering optimization and formal EMC qualification.
• Run thermal‑chamber, vibration, shock, humidity and reliability testing.
• Partner with Firmware, Mechanical, SI/PI, PCB, Manufacturing and Compliance teams to close issues and support ramp.

Job description

We’re looking for a hands‑on hardware engineer who lives at the bench and loves taking a design from schematic to a validated, shipping product. You’ll implement, validate, debug and qualify the power and hardware subsystems that keep our platforms running — wide-input DC front-ends, AC-DC and DC-DC conversion, PMICs, PoE, hot‑swap and power‑mux architectures — across industrial edge AI computers, AGV controllers, railway onboard units and rugged networking gateways. This is a true engineering‑execution role. You’ll work from the architecture and requirements set by our System Architects and Technical Leads, then own the delivery: getting the power design right, bringing boards up on the bench, characterizing current and thermal behavior, driving products through EVT/DVT/PVT, and standing behind them into production.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Implement power circuits and verify the full power tree — input sources, conversion stages, rail budgets and load allocation.
• Validate power sequencing (power-up/down order, timing, EN/PG dependencies) and optimize for efficiency, thermal headroom and quiescent current.
• Own hardware bring‑up and bench debugging of new boards from first power‑on.
• Perform measurement and characterization — ripple, transient response, timing margins, current profiling and thermal mapping.
• Plan and run EVT / DVT validation and support PVT into production.
• Lead failure analysis and root‑cause investigation with data‑backed CAPA feedback.
• Support EMI/EMC pre‑compliance, noise‑source identification, filtering optimization and formal EMC qualification.
• Run thermal‑chamber, vibration, shock, humidity and reliability testing.
• Partner with Firmware, Mechanical, SI/PI, PCB, Manufacturing and Compliance teams to close issues and support ramp.

• 4–6 years of hands‑on power electronics and hardware‑validation experience in embedded/rugged products.
• A degree in Electronics / Electrical / ECE or related field — or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• Proven experience taking products design validation production.
• Confidence reading schematics, datasheets and layout, and debugging real hardware at the bench.
• Solid grasp of power delivery, power sequencing, EMI/EMC, thermal and DFx fundamentals.

Power systems: wide-input DC systems, AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, buck & boost regulators, PMICs, load switches, hot‑swap solutions and power‑mux architectures. Board‑level validation: power measurements, current profiling, thermal characterization, power‑integrity (PI) measurements and start‑up/shut‑down sequence verification. EMI/EMC: pre‑compliance verification, EMI troubleshooting, noise‑source identification, filtering optimization and EMC qualification support. Product qualification: thermal, vibration, shock, humidity, temperature‑cycling and reliability testing to Industrial and Railway profiles. Equipment: oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, vector network analyzer, power analyzer, electronic load, thermal camera and environmental chambers.
