Sr. Hardware Design & Bring-up Engineer

A hands-on hardware engineer who reviews schematics and PCB layouts before fabrication, leads board bring-up, and diagnoses board-level problems down to the component. The person who catches design problems before fabrication and makes a stubborn board work on the bench.

What you will do

• Review schematics (analog, digital, power, MCU) and Altium layouts: placement, planes, high-speed and differential routing, impedance, DFM/DFA, BOMs.
• Assess EMI/EMC, SI and PI risks and fix them before fabrication.
• Lead bring-up: power sequencing, clock and reset, peripherals; root-cause faults with JTAG/SWD, scopes, logic and protocol analysers; rework and hand-soldering.
• Work with firmware on integration issues; coordinate fabricators and assembly houses; mentor engineers and own review checklists.

You have

• 8+ years hands-on hardware design, review and bring-up.
• Altium (KiCad/OrCAD acceptable with willingness to move).
• DC-DC (buck/boost/flyback), LDOs; ARM Cortex-M/A (STM32, i.MX, ESP32); QSPI, eMMC, DDR; USB, Gigabit Ethernet, LVDS; EMI/EMC pre-compliance; thermal design.
• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, E&TC, Electrical or related.

Nice to have: IoT/IoMT, embedded C and RTOS, wireless (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, cellular, GPS), Python, CE/FCC/UL/BIS/ISO 13485, services environment.
