Sr. Hardware Engineer

Job Summary

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.

Responsibilities

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.

  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.

  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.
