Key Responsibilities :

- Design and develop embedded electronics, including analysis, specification, verification, and lifecycle maintenance.

- Create schematics for MCU/SoC interfaces, power management, analog front ends, and protection circuits.

- Support PCB layout with design rules, SI/PI/EMC guidelines, and perform layout reviews.

- Handle hardware brings up & debugging (power sequencing, clocks, interfaces) in close collaboration with firmware teams.

- Define and execute verification plans (electrical, functional, environmental); support EMC/EMI troubleshooting.

- Perform component selection, derating, reliability checks, and qualification.

- Work with Manufacturing/EMS for industrialization, test strategy, and series ramp up.

- Prepare documentation for designs, tests, and support compliance approvals (CE/UL).

Mandatory Skills :

- Strong experience in embedded hardware design, schematics, and component selection.

- Expertise in power supplies & power management (DC/DC, LDO, sequencing).

- Good knowledge of analog & digital circuits and signal handling.

- Hands on with MCU/SoC interfaces (SPI, IC, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PWM, ADC).

- Proficient in lab debugging (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, power analyzer).

- Experience with EDA tools like Altium, Cadence, Mentor, and performing PCB layout reviews.

- Good understanding of EMC/EMI principles and troubleshooting.

- Familiarity with structured development processes and documentation.
