Pinetics; Pune District; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 3,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Pinetics in Pune invites a Senior Hardware Engineer to own embedded hardware end-to-end—from architecture to bring-up, bench validation and manufacturing hand-off.

You will design power, analog and digital sections, select components with cost and supply in mind, and collaborate with firmware, QA and manufacturing across medical, industrial and IoT products.

The role expects 5–7 years of embedded hardware experience, strong Altium skills, and leadership to mentor juniors in a fast-paced team.

Qualifications

• Engineering graduate in Electronics or a related field.
• 5–7 years of embedded hardware design experience.
• Experience with power supply design, analog signal conditioning, and EMI/EMC considerations.

Responsibilities

• Define product hardware architecture with product managers.
• Design embedded hardware per requirements: power, analog, digital, MCU, interfaces.
• Select components balancing performance, availability, cost and lifecycle; design schematics in Altium.
• Design PCB layouts with EMI/EMC considerations and generate Gerber files; coordinate with manufacturers.
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, and collaborate with firmware QA for validation.
• Mentor junior hardware engineers and review schematics & layouts.

Job description

We are looking for

A Senior Hardware Engineer and future leader who designs embedded product hardware end to end: architecture, power, analog, digital, microcontroller and communication interfaces - and then proves it on the bench. You will take products from requirements to a validated board, working alongside firmware, QA and manufacturing, across medical, industrial and IoT products.

The person we are looking for owns the whole board, not just the schematic: they select components with supply and cost in mind, design for the enclosure and the test jig, and treat bring-up as part of design, not someone else’s problem.

Should have the following responsibilities and background

1. Architecture and Design

• Work with the development team and product managers to define product hardware architecture.


• Design embedded product hardware as per requirements: power supply, analog, digital, microcontroller and communication interface sections.


• Select components balancing performance, availability, cost and lifecycle.


• Design and develop schematics in Altium Designer.

2. Layout and Manufacturing Hand-off

• Design PCB layouts in Altium considering EMI/EMC and enclosure requirements, or guide a layout engineer doing so.


• Generate Gerber files and coordinate with PCB manufacturers on ordering, queries and delivery.


• Handle component procurement for prototypes and coordinate with the prototype assembly team.

3. Bring-up, Debug and Collaboration

• Lead board bring-up, debugging and problem solving on your designs.


• Coordinate with the firmware team on hardware-firmware integration and with QA on validation.


• Mentor junior hardware engineers and review their schematics and layouts.

Technical Skills Required

• Hardware Design: 5 to 7 years designing embedded product hardware: discrete, power and microcontroller-based designs.


• Power & Analog: Power supply design (DC-DC, LDO), analog signal conditioning, protection circuits.


• Altium Designer: Schematic and PCB design; multilayer and mixed-signal boards.


• Memory Interfaces: Flash, eMMC, SDRAM, DDR2/3/4 design and integration.


• Interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART on-board; USB, Ethernet external interfaces.


• Wireless: BLE, Wi-Fi, RF, LoRa integration experience.


• Bring-up & Debug: Board bring-up, systematic fault isolation, bench instruments (oscilloscope, logic analyser, multimeter).


• Collaboration: Strong communication; comfortable in a fast-paced Agile / Scrum environment.

Preferred Skills (Added Advantage)

• Experience on medical devices or other regulated products (CE, FCC, UL, BIS, ISO 13485 awareness).


• EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing exposure and design-for-compliance practices.


• Working knowledge of embedded C to aid hardware-firmware debugging.


• Experience in a product design services or contract development environment.

Qualifications

• Engineering graduate in an Electronics-based branch.


• 5 to 7 years of experience in embedded hardware design.


• Good verbal and written communication in English.

What Success Looks Like

• Your boards go from schematic review to validated bring-up with few surprises.


• Firmware engineers trust your designs and your judgement during integration debugging.


• Junior engineers improve measurably from your reviews and mentoring.

Remuneration & Work Location

• CTC Range: As per industry standard for relevant experience.


• Pune, Wakad Office.
