Job Title: Hardware Design Engineer – Smart Metering Our client is seeking a Hardware Design Engineer to support the development of next-generation metering products for energy, water, and gas segments. In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end PCB design lifecycle—from concept through production release—delivering reliable, cost-effective, and compliant hardware for high-volume smart meters.

Experience: 6–9 years

Lead end-to-end PCB design and layout for smart metering products, from concept definition through production release.

Perform schematic capture, component selection, and signal/power integrity analysis using industry-standard EDA tools.

Develop and maintain PCB layouts in compliance with DFM/DFT guidelines and manufacturing constraints.

Conduct hardware bring-up, functional testing, and validation—including debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.

Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and validation teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software components.

Support product certification efforts for EMI/EMC, safety, and regional regulatory compliance (e.g., Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and root-cause analysis of field failures and lab anomalies.

Prepare and maintain documentation including BOMs, assembly drawings, test plans, and manufacturing databases.
