About the role

As a Senior Engineer, Electronics Hardware Design, you are a specialized technical expert focused on developing advanced electronic systems. Your primary responsibilities include circuit design, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout, and ensuring signal integrity, with a strong emphasis on power management optimization and Radio Frequency (RF) performance. You ensure seamless integration with software and mechanical systems to deliver high-performing, reliable, and compliant solutions. You apply cutting-edge simulation, modeling, and prototyping techniques to create robust and innovative hardware designs. Your technical expertise contributes to the development of products and technologies that address complex challenges and align with industry standards.

Key responsibilities

• Take technical ownership of the design, development, verification, and lifecycle maintenance of industrial PLCs, smart relays, I/O modules, and associated products.
• Define and drive hardware system and module architecture, including MCU or processor platforms, memory, power supplies, industrial I/O, communication interfaces, isolation, protection, diagnostics, and hardware/firmware partitioning.
• Lead the design and verification of analog and digital circuits, relay and transistor outputs, signal-conditioning circuits, embedded interfaces, and industrial power-supply functions.
• Independently perform and review schematic design, component selection, design calculations, circuit simulation, PCB layout, prototype bring-up, and complex hardware troubleshooting.
• Establish hardware design requirements, verification strategies, test plans, and acceptance criteria covering functionality, performance, EMC, environmental reliability, thermal behavior, and product safety.
• Lead root-cause analysis of complex design, verification, production, and field issues, and drive robust corrective and preventive actions with cross-functional teams.
• Drive hardware and firmware integration, including clocks, reset, watchdog, boot, debug, memory, peripheral interfaces, diagnostics, and fault handling.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable industrial standards and engineering practices related to EMC, electrical safety, reliability, manufacturability, testability, and component lifecycle.
• Lead component qualification, second-source introduction, cost optimization, production support, certification activities, and sustaining-engineering initiatives while protecting product quality and compliance.
• Provide technical direction and mentoring to less-experienced engineers, and collaborate effectively with multi-site R&D teams, industrialization, sourcing, quality, manufacturing, certification partners, and suppliers.

About you

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering, Automation, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience in hardware architecture, design, development, verification, and lifecycle support of embedded electronic products; experience with industrial automation or control products is strongly preferred.
• Strong and broad knowledge of analog and digital electronics, circuit analysis, embedded hardware, power electronics, measurement techniques, and systematic troubleshooting.
• Proven experience defining embedded-system architecture, including MCU or processor selection, memory technologies, clocks, reset and watchdog circuits, boot and debug interfaces, peripheral buses, diagnostics, and hardware/firmware partitioning.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own complex hardware boards, modules, or major product functions from requirements and architecture through design, verification, certification, industrialization, and lifecycle support.
• Hands-on expertise in schematic design, PCB design and layout review, component selection, design calculations, circuit simulation, prototype bring-up, laboratory verification, and root-cause analysis.
• Solid experience with industrial digital and analog I/O, power-supply circuits, communication interfaces, isolation, protection, grounding, thermal design, and creepage and clearance requirements.
• Practical experience with embedded and industrial interfaces such as Ethernet, RS-485/Modbus, CAN, USB, UART, SPI, and I²C.
• Proficiency with Cadence Allegro/OrCAD or equivalent schematic and PCB design tools, together with effective use of simulation and laboratory measurement equipment.
• Strong ownership, analytical thinking, and written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively across cross-functional, multicultural, and multi-site teams.
