We are looking for a Hardware Design Engineer to design, develop, and qualify spacecraft avionics hardware. This includes schematics for the Onboard Computer (OBC), subsystem controllers, payload interfaces, and mission-specific electronics. You will be responsible for taking designs from concept through schematics, PCB layout, testing, and qualification, while ensuring compliance with space standards. The role also requires performing FMECA, component procurement, and supporting cross-functional teams in building reliable hardware for space missions.

Key Responsibilities:
- Design schematics for OBC, EPS, communication units, ADCS, and payload interfaces.
- Develop, simulate, and validate circuits for power regulation, signal conditioning, and digital/analog interfaces.
- Own PCB design lifecycle: schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, BOM preparation, and documentation.
- Perform FMECA for all designed hardware.
- Procure components, ensuring space-grade/reliable part selection, vendor qualification, and availability.
- Conduct design reviews (internal and cross-team)



to ensure compliance with mission/system requirements.
- Work with mechanical and thermal teams for board integration into spacecraft structure.
- Develop test procedures and validate boards through functional, environmental (TVAC, vibration, EMI/EMC), and reliability testing.
- Interface with software engineers to ensure hardware-software co-design and integration.
- Responsible for creating and maintaining comprehensive documentation of all hardware designs, test procedures, and results for traceability and mission heritage.

Required Skills & Qualifications:
- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Avionics, or related field.
- 2–6 years of experience in hardware design for aerospace/defense/embedded systems.
- Robust knowledge of digital/analog circuit design, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces.
- Hands-on experience with schematic & PCB design tools
