Hardware Design Engineer (PCB & Circuit Design)

Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled Hardware Design Engineer with hands-on experience in Analog/digital circuit design, high-speed PCB layout, and Electronic/Electrical system validation. This role demands a strong understanding of Multilayer PCB design, Power management, Signal & Power Integrity and EMI/EMC compliance, with a proven track record in delivering complex, production-grade hardware for cutting-edge Electro-optics products.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and develop Analog and Digital circuits including component selection, schematic design, and PCB layout (up to 8 - 10 layers)
Use EDA tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, Xpedition, Allegro, OrCAD for schematic and PCB development
Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal considerations are addressed in designs
Develop and maintain BoMs, design documentation, and test plans
Perform board bring-up, hardware testing, and debugging using lab equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Multimeters, Function generators and Logic analyzers
Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC design best practices at PCB, Sub-System and System level
Collaborate with Firmware, Software, Mechanical, Production and Service teams
Diagnose and troubleshoot production and site units as and when required
Build and test prototypes and drive design reviews
Coordinate with PCB fabricators and EMS vendors to facilitate manufacturability and timely deliveries
Conduct feasibility analysis and trade-off studies during concept and architecture phase
Support DFM/DFT activities and ensure designs meet reliability and quality targets

Required Qualifications & Experience:
Education: Bachelors degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering

Experience:

Demonstrated experience with Power electronics, Signal conditioning, and Mixed-signal Design
Proven delivery of designs compliant with international standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL, RoHS)

Technical Skills:
Circuit design (Analog and Digital) using modern EDA tools
Proficiency in multilayer PCB design (8-10 layers), signal integrity, power distribution, and thermal management
Experience with Microcontrollers, Microprocessors, SoCs, and communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, RS485, USB)
Hands-on experience in hardware debug, rework, and component-level troubleshooting
Familiarity with simulation tools such as LTspice, Multisim, Altium SIM
Strong knowledge of earthing and grounding at both board and system levels
Experience in DFM/DFT, PCB stack-up design, impedance control, and EMI mitigation
Board bring-up experience and test plan execution

Soft Skills:
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
Proactive approach with strong ownership and accountability
Ability to manage timelines and deliver quality outcomes under tight schedules

Preferred (Nice to Have):
Experience with FPGA
Experience in high-speed digital interfaces and signal integrity simulation
Exposure to electro-optics or mechatronic system development environments
