Embedded Hardware Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Embedded Hardware Engineer to design and develop robust hardware systems for industrial automation and CNC applications. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in designing reliable PCB systems capable of operating in harsh industrial environments. This role involves end-to-end hardware development, including high-speed interfaces, microcontroller/processor-based boards, and power electronics design.

You will collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-performance and production-ready hardware solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop robust multi-layer PCBs for industrial automation applications capable of operating in harsh environments (temperature, vibration, EMI/EMC conditions).
• Architect and design microcontroller and processor-based embedded hardware systems.
• Develop and optimize high-speed communication interfaces such as Ethernet and USB.
• Design and validate power electronics circuits, including DC-DC converters, power regulation, protection circuits, and power distribution systems.
• Perform schematic design, component selection, PCB layout review, and signal integrity analysis.
• Conduct hardware debugging, board bring-up, validation, and testing.
• Ensure compliance with industrial standards related to EMI/EMC, safety, and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including embedded software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.
• Support prototype development, testing, and transition to mass production.
• Prepare and maintain comprehensive hardware design documentation.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience in:
• Power electronics design (DC-DC converters, SMPS, power regulation, protection circuits).
• Designing microcontroller/processor-based boards.
• High-speed interface design such as Ethernet and USB.
• Strong experience in multi-layer PCB design for industrial applications.
• Understanding of signal integrity, impedance control, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Experience with industrial communication standards is a plus.
• Proficiency in PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, Cadence, or similar).
• Experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers.
• Knowledge of industrial-grade component selection and derating practices.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testability (DFT).
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Experience

• Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware design.
