Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer (68 years' experience) to work on detailed hardware design, analysis, and validation of electronic products. The role focuses on handson schematic design, analog frontend implementation for accurate sensor readings, EMI/EMCaware design practices, component selection, and lifecycle support, while working under defined system architecture and guidance from technical leads.

Roles & Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Implementation

• Design and develop schematics for assigned hardware blocks or subsystems
• Implement analog frontend (AFE) circuits for accurate sensor measurements, including:
• Signal conditioning
• Filtering and amplification
• ADC interfacing and reference circuits
• Support MCU / processor selection by evaluating peripherals, performance, power, and availability
• Perform component selection for assigned circuits, considering cost, availability, and reliability
• Support PCB layout reviews with focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and noise control

Schematics Review & Debug

• Participate in schematic reviews for own designs and peer designs
• Debug hardware issues during prototype, bringup, and validation using lab equipment
• Support rootcause analysis of functional, performance, or reliability issues

EMI / EMCAware Design

• Apply EMI/EMC design best practices in schematics and layout guidelines, including:
• Grounding and decoupling
• Filtering and protection circuits
• Signal routing considerations
• Support EMI/EMC testing and debugging under guidance from senior or lead engineers

Obsolescence & Legacy Product Support

• Support component obsolescence activities, including:
• Identifying alternate components
• Updating schematics and BOMs
• Supporting validation of replacement parts
• Contribute to design updates and improvements for legacy products, such as:
• Minor redesigns
• Cost optimization changes
• Reliability fixes based on field feedback

Documentation

• Prepare and maintain detailed hardware design documentation for assigned modules, including:
• Schematic notes and design rationale
• Interface descriptions
• Test and validation notes
• Ensure documentation is updated as part of design changes and ECOs

CrossFunctional Collaboration

Work closely with firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, test, and quality teams

Support manufacturing bringup, pilot builds, and production issue resolution

Communicate design intent, limitations, and issues clearly to stakeholders

Required Qualifications

Bachelors degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering or related field

68 years of handson experience in hardware design and development

Solid experience in:

• Analog and mixedsignal circuit design
• Sensor interfacing and measurement circuits
• MCU / processorbased designs
• Experience using schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence, Mentor, or equivalent)
• Practical lab debugging experience (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer)
• Good technical documentation and communication skills
