Technical Lead Engineer – Analog & Mixed-Signal Design

SolarEdge Technologies; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 3,500,000 - 5,500,000; Full time

Job summary

SolarEdge Technologies in Bengaluru seeks a Technical Lead Hardware Engineer to design digital and mixed-signal boards for advanced energy storage products. This hands-on role requires deep real-world experience in grounding, EMI, accurate measurement, and verification at the board and system level.

You will define architectures, mentor engineers, own verification, and drive subsystems while collaborating across departments to deliver robust hardware solutions.

Qualifications

• B.Tech. in Electrical, Electronics or related Engineering streams; Masters/PhD preferred.
• 12+ years of hands-on mixed-signal HW design, taken to mass production.
• Deep expertise in precise analog measurement, calibration, and verification at board/system level.
• Strong grounding, return-path and power distribution design.
• EMI/EMC design-for-compliance experience.
• Experience designing robust communication links (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART) with signal integrity.
• Knowledge of power electronics and DC-DC converters.
• Proficiency with simulation tools LTspice, PSpice or PSIM.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging and lab bring-up skills.
• Experience with high-density multilayer PCB layouts.

Responsibilities

• Define system architecture and converter topology for new product lines.
• Mentor and guide senior/junior engineers; review designs, simulations, PCB layouts, firmware, tests.
• Review & design digital and mixed-signal boards from concept to mass production.
• Ensure accurate grounding, robust communication, and power distribution at board and system level.
• Own verification and characterization of designs on bench and in the full system.
• Drive subsystems independently and contribute to design reviews.
• Collaborate across departments and sites to deliver robust hardware.
• Maintain thorough documentation and lifecycle management.

Job description

About The Role

We are seeking a strong Technical Lead Hardware Engineer to design the digital and mixed‑signal boards at the heart of SolarEdge’s advanced energy storage products. This is a hands‑on design role for an engineer with deep, real‑world experience in the disciplines that make or break a mixed‑signal design — grounding, EMI, robust communication, and accurate measurement — and in how these are verified at the board and full‑system level.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Define system architecture and converter topology selection for new product lines; conduct trade‑off analysis on efficiency, cost, size, and reliability
• Mentor and guide senior and junior engineers; review detailed designs, simulations, PCB layouts, firmware code, and test results
• Review & Designing digital and mixed‑signal boards, from concept through mass production
• Review & Designing accurate measurements, robust communication, grounding, and power distribution — at both board and system level
• Owning verification and characterization of your Project designs, on the bench and within the complete system
• Taking technical ownership of subsystems and driving them independently
• Contributing to design reviews and mentoring junior engineers
• Working in a multidisciplinary environment and collaborating across departments and sites

Requirements

• B.Tech. in Electrical, Electronics Or related Engineering Streams. Masters/PhD is Preferred.
• 12+ years of hands‑on mixed‑signal HW design, taken to mass production
• Deep expertise in precise analog measurement — accuracy budgeting, error sources, calibration — and in verifying accuracy at board and system level
• Strong command of grounding, return‑path, and power‑distribution design
• EMI/EMC design‑for‑compliance experience — designed in up front, not fixed late
• Experience designing robust, noise‑immune communication links (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, differential) — protocol‑agnostic; robustness, isolation, and signal integrity are what matter
• Experience designing protection circuits (overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit)
• Knowledge of power electronics and DC‑DC converters (Buck, Boost, Flyback, Forward)
• Proficiency in simulation tools such as LTspice, PSpice, or PSIM
• Strong problem‑solving, debugging, and lab bring‑up skills, with a systematic verification mindset
• Experience with high‑density, multilayer PCB layout
• Strong command of AI tools and a demonstrated ability to leverage them to accelerate engineering work — analysis, documentation, scripting, and debugging
• Strong documentation skills — design reviews and product lifecycle management

Advantageous Qualifications

• Experience with Battery Management Systems (BMS) or energy storage technologies (Li‑Ion, Solid State, etc.)
• Familiarity with functional safety concepts and safety standards for battery and energy storage systems
• Understanding of thermal management in electronic designs
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance in electronics (CE, UL, etc.)
