Robotics Engineer

Hiring: Electronics Engineer (Mixed-Signal, PCB Bring-up)

Location: Hyderabad

Experience: 37 years

Compensation: Competitive

About Us

PhoQtek Labs is a deep-tech startup building precision inertial sensing and control products for navigation and autonomous systems. You will join as an Electronics Engineer, playing a crucial role in developing these systems.

What You'll Do

Design low-noise analog and mixed-signal circuits (sensor front-ends, filtering, ADC/DAC interfacing)

Own end-to-end PCB design (stack-up, layout, grounding, power distribution, EMI management)

Coordinate PCB fabrication and assembly; lead board bring-up and debugging in the lab

Implement real-time signal processing

Work with photonics-related electronics: photodiode + TIA front-ends, laser diode drivers, precision temperature control, and noise-critical layouts

What We're Looking For

Must-Have

Proven end-to-end ownership of at least 12 custom boards (schematic PCB bring-up working product) in an R&D or product development environment

Strong analog fundamentals: low-noise design, precision amplifiers, filtering, and sensor interfacing

Hands-on lab skills: oscilloscope, signal generators, spectrum analyzers; noise measurement is a plus

PCB design proficiency (KiCad or similar)

Self-starter mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, iterative debugging, and making independent design decisions

Strong Plus

Experience with photonics/optics electronics: photodetector circuits, laser drivers, optical sensing systems, fiber handling

DFM/DFT mindset: designing for testability and manufacturability from day one

Precision measurement background: IMUs, gyroscopes, accelerometers, LiDAR, or similar sensor systems

Nice to Have

Experience with closed-loop control systems

Familiarity with modulation/demodulation techniques

Exposure to environmental testing (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC)

What We Offer

High ownership: your designs go from breadboard to product

Deep technical work: solve challenging problems in precision sensing (sub-V noise floors, thermal stability, phase detection)

Learning opportunities: work across analog, digital, and optical domains

How to Apply

DM or email: gautham.n@phoqtek.ai

Include:

Your resume/CV

A brief note (34 sentences) on your most complex board bring-up experience

Links to any portfolios, GitHub, or project documentation (optional but appreciated)

We Will Prioritize Candidates Who

Have built precision analog circuits from scratch

Can demonstrate tangible hardware projects (photos, schematics, test data)

Are excited about solving hard technical problems
