Job Description
Job Description
We are looking for a Hardware Design Engineer (5–8 years) to join our core engineering team. The
role involves end-to-end ownership of embedded hardware design, including schematics,
component selection, library creation, and guiding PCB layout through fabrication in collaboration
with PCB teams. The ideal candidate should have strong communication skills, a practical
understanding of real-world systems, and the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams.
We are looking for a serious, long-term professional who is passionate about hardware design and
willing to take full ownership of product development.
Job Responsibilities
• Design and develop end-to-end embedded hardware systems (analog & digital)
from concept to production
• Architect and implement designs using MPUs/MCUs (i.MX, Sitara, STM32,
Renesas)
• Develop robust schematics, perform component selection, and ensure reliability,
safety, and compliance considerations
• Implement and integrate high-speed and industrial interfaces (DDR, Ethernet,
USB, CAN, RS-485, SPI, I2C, UART)
• Perform circuit simulations and design validation using tools like PSpice / LTSpice
• Work closely with PCB layout engineers to:
• Define stack-up and routing constraints
• Ensure Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI)
• Review and approve PCB layouts
• Analyze schematics and design documents to guide PCB placement and routing
strategy
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, and root cause analysis
• Use lab tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.) for hardware validation and
troubleshooting
• Ensure DFM/DFT compliance and support manufacturing, assembly, and testing
• Drive designs through prototype (PCBA), validation, and production readiness
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams for system-level integration
• Participate in design reviews, risk analysis, and issue resolution
Required Skills
• Strong expertise in analog circuit design (power, filtering, protection, signal
conditioning)
• Solid experience in digital design using MCU/MPU-based system
• Hands-on experience with:
o NXP i.MX / TI Sitara (MPU-based systems preferred)
o STM32 / Renesas microcontrollers
• Proven experience in high-speed hardware design:
o DDR memory interfaces
o Ethernet, USB, and high-speed communication buses
• Strong understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI)
• Experience working with and guiding PCB design using:
o Mentor Graphics Xpedition
o Cadence Allegro o Altium
Designer
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools (PSpice, LTSpice)
• Strong hardware debugging skills using:
o Oscilloscope
o Logic analyzer
o Multimeter
• Experience in board bring-up and hardware validation
• Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Testability)
• Exposure to EMI/EMC design practices
• Experience in taking designs from schematic → PCB → PCBA → validation →
production
• Good understanding of hardware–firmware interaction and system integration
• Strong problem-solving and root cause analysis capability.
