Job description

Why?

Everyone worries about the dooms-day in climate change which is expected to occur in the 2050s. However, there's one doom's day which is the reality for millions of people around the world today. Air pollution takes more than 7 Million lives globally every single year. Over 5% of premature children death occur due to air pollution in developing countries. Everyone has relied on governments or experts to solve the problem, but most solutions up until today have either been too expensive or too ineffective. Praan is an attempt at making the future cleaner, healthier, and safer for the generations to come.

Job Description

• Selection, Design, Testing, Integration, and Maintenance of key electrochemical and mechanical sensor based systems with IoT Platforms.
• PCB Design, Simulation, Manufacturing, Testing, Debugging of custom electronic hardware boards for IoT built on the ARM platform.
• Perform LCA for embedded hardware and power electronic platforms to ensure compliance with international norms and internal product lifespan requirements.
• Design, manufacture, test, and integrate sensor calibration systems into products and test systems.
• Provide support for core technology test rig design, including sensor platforms, library development, and integration with other teams.
• Design and implement firmware edge cases, conduct stress testing to ensure robust performance.
• Antenna design and optimisation for low network applications.
• Designing circuits to ensure EMI/EMC compliance.
• Design, prototype, test, manufacture, debug, and perform scalability testing for low-voltage power electronics circuits.
• Collaborate with the supply chain team and international vendors for the sourcing of raw materials, optimizing material costs.
• Collaboration with mechanical design, simulation, software, product design teams for electronic hardware and harness integration.
• Working alongside third party validation companies such as UL, LEEDS, etc for commercial certification.
• Demonstrate a solid understanding of IoT systems and networks.
• Working alongside Technical Lead and Stakeholders on key product deliverables and timelines.
• Developing and maintaining key technology documentation across core technology and embedded teams.

Skill Requirements

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.
• 4+ years of work experience in Embedded Systems and Hardware Design.
• Exceptional experience in circuit design, encompassing Analog and Digital Circuits.
• Proficiency in simulation, PCB design, manufacturing, and testing for embedded hardware.
• Exceptional hands-on skills with testing equipment such as Multimeters, Scopes, DCAs, Logic Analysers, and Spectrum Analyzers.
• Exceptional hands on skills in circuit assembly: Through hole and SMD.
• Past experience working with and integrating expensive, high resolution sensors.
• Past experience manufacturing and shipping embedded hardware product.
• Past experience working with antenna and GSM based IoT Devices.
• Work experience involving high voltage power circuits and power electronics.
• Strong fundamentals and programming experience in C/C++ for embedded hardware.
