Embedded Hardware Engineer

Embedded Hardware Engineer

Experience : 3-8 Years

Location : Ahmedabad, Work from Office

Salary : 8-9 LPA

Role Overview

We are looking for a passionate and hands-on Embedded Hardware Engineer to join

our multidisciplinary engineering team. In this role you will own the full electronics

hardware lifecycle — from concept and schematic capture through PCB layout,

fabrication, bring-up, and handoff to production. You will collaborate closely with

firmware, mechanical, and production teams to build robust, manufacturable, and

cost-effective hardware products.

Key Responsibilities

Schematic & Circuit Design

Design and review analog, digital, power, and mixed-signal schematics using

industry-standard EDA tools (Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence, or equivalent)

Select appropriate components based on electrical performance, availability, lead

time, and cost

Perform schematic DRC and peer reviews to ensure design correctness before layout

PCB Layout & Fabrication

Create high-quality multi-layer PCB layouts following signal-integrity, EMC, and

thermal management best practices

Apply PCB DFMA (Design for Manufacturability & Assembly) guidelines to reduce

fabrication risk and assembly cost

Generate fabrication packages (Gerbers, drill files, assembly drawings, IPC-2581) and

coordinate with PCB fab vendors

Manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and version-controlled design files

Bill of Materials (BoM)

Create, maintain, and validate multi-level BoMs including MPNs, approved vendor

lists (AVLs), and alternates

Work with procurement to ensure part availability and manage obsolescence risk

Prototyping & Soldering

Assemble and rework prototype PCBs including fine-pitch SMD (0402, QFP, BGA)

and through-hole components using hot-air, reflow, and soldering stations

Build test jigs and bench setups to support rapid prototype evaluation

Board Bring-Up & Hardware Debugging

Lead board bring-up activities: power sequencing, clocking, communication bus

verification (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet)

Debug hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, spectrum

analyzers, and JTAG/SWD debuggers

Work with firmware engineers to validate hardware–firmware interactions and

resolve integration issues

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Firmware / Embedded Software teams on hardware bring-up and driver

development

Collaborate with Mechanical Engineering on board form-factor, connector

placement, and thermal solutions

Support Production Engineering with DFM feedback, test fixture design, and

manufacturing documentation

Participate in design reviews (PDR, CDR) and contribute to project schedules and

risk assessments

Required Qualifications

● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical

Engineering, or a closely related field

● 3 – 8 years of hands-on embedded hardware engineering experience in a

product development environment

Required Skills

● Proficiency in EDA tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, or Cadence

● Strong command of schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, and design rule checks

● Solid understanding of power electronics, microcontroller/microprocessor interfacing, and standard communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN)

● Demonstrated experience with hardware bring-up and debugging using lab instruments

● Hands-on SMD soldering and rework skills

● Experience generating and managing BoMs for production handoff

Preferred Skills

● Experience with high-speed digital design (DDR, USB 3.x, PCIe, SerDes)

● Background in RF / wireless hardware design (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee)

● Knowledge of functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262) or EMC/EMI compliance (FCC, CE, CISPR)

● Familiarity with ECAD–MCAD co-design workflows (STEP import/export, IDF/IDX)

● Scripting skills (Python) for design automation, BoM processing, or test automation

● Prior experience in an Agile / NPI hardware development environment

Why Join

● Work on cutting-edge environmental monitoring products

● Opportunity to lead and influence hardware product development

● Collaborative environment across design, engineering, and IoT domains

● Real-world impact through sustainable technology solutions

● Flexible work arrangements and a collaborative team culture
