Job Description
Hardware Design Engineer

Experience:
3–6 Years Department: R&D; / Product Engineering Role: Hardware Design and End-to-End Product Development 1. Job Summary We are looking for a hands-on Hardware Design Engineer with 3–6 years of experience in electronic hardware development. The candidate should be capable of independently handling end-to-end hardware design, including component selection, schematic design, PCB layout review, prototype development, board bring-up, debugging, validation, and transfer to manufacturing. The ideal candidate should have solid fundamentals in analog and digital electronics, practical troubleshooting skills, and the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineering, firmware, manufacturing, quality, and product certification teams. 2.

Key Responsibilities
A. Hardware Design and Development
• Understand product requirements and translate them into hardware architecture and circuit designs.
• Select appropriate electronic components based on technical specifications, cost, availability, reliability, and lifecycle considerations.
• Design complete schematics for analog, digital, power supply, and interface circuits.
• Design hardware involving microcontrollers, processors, sensors, communication interfaces, and peripheral circuits.
• Perform analog circuit simulations and analysis to validate circuit performance before prototyping.
• Review PCB layouts for signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, thermal management, EMC/EMI, and manufacturability.
• PCB layout design experience will be an added advantage.
• Develop rapid prototypes to validate concepts and accelerate product development. B. Prototype Bring-Up, Testing and Debugging
• Perform first-time board bring-up, functional verification, and hardware validation.
• Troubleshoot hardware failures using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other relevant laboratory instruments.
• Perform systematic fault analysis, identify root causes,



and implement corrective actions.
• Work closely with firmware engineers to debug hardware–firmware integration issues.
• Document test results, design changes, and validation reports. C. Reliability and Design Quality
• Conduct DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and participate in risk assessment and mitigation.
• Identify potential design weaknesses and improve product reliability, robustness, and serviceability.
• Support design validation, environmental testing, EMC/EMI testing, and applicable product certification activities.
• Incorporate lessons learned from field failures and manufacturing issues into design improvements. D. Manufacturing Support and Product Industrialization
• Work closely with manufacturing, production, and quality teams to resolve production-related hardware issues.
• Support prototype builds, pilot production, and transition to mass manufacturing.
• Prepare and maintain schematics, BOMs, test procedures, engineering change documentation, and other hardware design records.
• Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews.
• Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring production failures. E. Cross-Functional and Customer Coordination
• Collaborate effectively with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and certification teams.
• Coordinate with component vendors and technical partners for component selection and design support.
• Communicate technical concepts, design decisions, risks, and project status clearly.
• Interact with customers when required to understand technical requirements, discuss design solutions, and resolve hardware-related concerns. 3. Required Technical Skills
• Strong fundamentals in analog and digital electronics.
• Hands-on experience in component selection, schematic capture, and complete hardware design.
• Experience with microcontrollers, embedded hardware, power supplies, and common communication interfaces.
• Knowledge of circuit simulation tools for analog circuit analysis.
