Senior Hardware Engineer

Role: We are looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer to drive the development of high performance of subsystems for a new tool platform at Applied Materials. As part of a multi-disciplinary team working on exciting new technologies, this role also offers solid personal career growth opportunities.

Responsibilities:

• Understanding the system requirements and derive hardware requirement for PCBA

• Conduct feasibility studies and evaluate different hardware options to determine the most suitable solution.

• Take ownership and lead the conceptual studies by designing, building, testing,

• Design and build prototypes at the module or system level.

• Design and develop hardware components such as circuit boards with microcontrollers/FPGA, sensors, and interfaces.

• Ownership component selections, schematics entry, able to perform analog and digital circuit simulations, BOM management, layout reviews.

• Owner of hardware design reviews.

• Identify and troubleshoot hardware issues, providing timely resolution.

• Identify the technical risks in the design, propose / implement mitigation strategies.

• Actively participate in DFMEA processes

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE QUALIFICATION:

• ME/M.Tech/BE/B.Tech in Electrical/Electronics engineering or equivalent

• 8-15 Years of experience in working with Hardware designs

TECHNICAL COMPETENCY:

Proficiency in schematic capture (Cadence OrCad ).

• Strong expertise in Analog circuit designs – involving Op-amps, instrumentation amplifiers and ADCs for data acquisition, DACs

• Familiarity with microcontrollers, Xilinx FPGA sensors, communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C), and power management.
