Hardware Engineer Embedded and Power

Job Description: Hardware Engineer Embedded & Power

Location: KR Puram, Bengaluru
Open Positions: 1
Experience: 1–4 Years
Notice Period: Immediate to 15 Days
Qualification: B.E./B.Tech in ECE, EEE, or a related field

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Hardware Engineer to join our hardware team. The candidate will be responsible for designing MCU-based hardware boards, developing power circuits, designing PCBs, and performing board bring-up and debugging. The role involves working closely with the firmware and RF teams to develop reliable hardware solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design schematics for MCU-based boards using STM32, ESP32, NXP, TI, or similar microcontrollers.
• Develop clock, reset, boot, debugging, and programming circuits.
• Select components and interpret datasheets to verify pin configurations, electrical specifications, and peripheral requirements.
• Design and debug communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN/CAN-FD, and USB.
• Design power circuits, including buck/boost converters, LDOs, load switches, eFuses, power multiplexing, and battery input protection.
• Perform power budgeting, thermal estimation, and component derating.
• Implement ESD, EMI, and transient protection for connectors and external interfaces.
• Design 4-layer PCBs, including stack-up planning, component placement, routing, grounding, power/ground planes, and decoupling.
• Perform hardware bring-up, power-on checks, power rail validation, interface testing, and debugging in the laboratory.
• Coordinate with the firmware team to identify and resolve hardware-related issues.
• Prepare and maintain BOMs, verify component availability, and identify alternative components.
• Prepare design documentation, test reports, and support technical design reviews.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), or a related field.
• 1–4 years of hands-on experience in hardware design and development.
• Strong understanding of microcontroller hardware, including GPIO, ADC, timers, clocks, boot modes, and SWD/JTAG.
• Practical experience with UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN communication interfaces at the hardware level.
• Experience designing DC-DC converters and LDO power circuits, including component selection and basic loop stability.
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB design/review tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, or similar.
• Practical experience using oscilloscopes, multimeters, DC power supplies, and electronic loads.
• Ability to independently read and interpret datasheets and application notes.

Good to Have

• Exposure to RF circuits, matching networks, RF layout, antennas, or spectrum/network analysers.
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, LVDS, DDR, or MIPI.
• Understanding of controlled impedance, signal integrity, and length matching.
• Familiarity with DFM, DFT, and EMI/EMC testing.
• Experience in avionics, defence, UAVs/drones, or communication products.

Candidate Preference

Candidates with strong hands-on experience in embedded hardware design, power electronics, PCB layout, and laboratory debugging are preferred.
