Role & responsibilities
- Schematic Capture &
- Design:
Develop and architect robust electronic schematics for microcontroller platforms (STM32 and ESP32 architectures) incorporating analog/digital sensor interfaces, switched-mode power converters, and high-power motor drive circuitry.
- Component Selection &
- Analysis:
Analyze component datasheets to select critical hardware elements (MCUs, power MOSFETs/IGBTs, gate drivers, regulators, connectors) based on strict operational voltage levels, thermal performance, and low-level peripheral compatibility.
- Multi-Layer PCB Layout: Execute multi-layer PCB designs and layouts, placing high emphasis on signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), high-current copper pour sizing, and proper isolation/grounding strategies.
- High-Speed &
- Mixed-Signal Routing:
Route high-speed communication buses (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART) utilizing proper impedance matching, differential pair routing, and cross-talk isolation away from high-power switching nodes.
- EMI/EMC &
- Power Implementation:
Implement effective board-level shielding, decoupling networks, and optimized power circuitry to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC) stemming from high-frequency power converters and secure reliable system performance.
- Hardware Bring-up &
- Diagnostics:
Lead initial physical board bring-up, smoke testing, and hardware debugging using bench lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, electronic loads, and SWD/JTAG debuggers.
- DFM &
- Manufacturing Prep:
Prepare comprehensive production-ready documentation packages (Gerber files, drill files, BOMs, assembly drawings) and coordinate directly with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors.
- Hardware Iteration &
- ECAD Management:
Maintain strict version control of PCB design files and hardware schematics using Git repositories,
logging errata and physical edge-case failures to optimize subsequent board spins.
Preferred candidate profile
- ECAD Proficiency: Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB layout design tools (e.g., KiCad, EasyEDA or Altium Designer etc.) for multi-layer board development.
- Power Electronics &
- Converters:
Solid understanding of DC-DC power converter topologies (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost) and their control loops, including selection of inductors, switching elements, and layout optimization for power integrity.
- High-Power Motor Controllers: Experience designing and analyzing physical driver stages for brushless DC (BLDC) or DC motors, including gate driver circuits, phase current sensing architectures, and thermal management (heatsinking, thermal vias).
- PCB Design Fundamentals: Deep understanding of stack-up configuration, trace width/clearance rules for high current/voltage, copper pouring, via management (thermal, blind/buried), and high-speed routing constraints.
- Circuitry &
- Schematic Literacy:
Strong knowledge of electronics engineering fundamentals, including analog filtering, digital logic, voltage regulation, power distribution networks (PDNs), and component ratings.
- Hardware Interfacing &
- Protocols:
Practical experience designing physical layers for peripheral communication buses such as UART, SPI, I2C, ADC/DAC, and robust CAN communication network lines.
- Lab Equipment Mastery: Proficient in hardware troubleshooting and diagnostic toolsspecifically using oscilloscopes, differential probes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and serial logs to isolate layout or physical hardware faults.
- Microcontroller Hardware Architecture: Familiarity with the physical pinouts, peripheral mapping, and power requirements of STM32 (CubeIDE/HAL ecosystems) and ESP32 platforms.
- Hardware Version Control: Competent in using Git for managing ECAD design file revisions, schematic changes, and hardware release branches.
