Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Senior Hardware Design Engineer with extensive expertise in embedded hardware design, high-speed digital systems, power electronics, FPGA-based platforms, and product development. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience across the complete product lifecycle from requirements of definition and architecture through design, validation, compliance testing, and production release.

This role requires strong technical leadership, system-level thinking, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality engineering.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Architecture & Design

• Candidate should be able to drives end-to-end development of high-level architecture of FPGA platform and translates platform-level requirements to circuit and component-level specifications.
• Define hardware architecture, block diagrams, and design specifications for embedded systems.
• Experience with successfully implementing various high-speed memory, Video, IO, and network interfaces
• Design analog, digital, mixed-signal, FPGA-based, and high-speed electronic boards.
• Develop schematics, BOMs, PCB stack-ups, and design documentation.
• Perform component selection considering performance, reliability, cost, and lifecycle requirements.
• Design and validate power supply circuits, power distribution networks & Power integrity designs.
• EDA tool exposure ( Concept HDL, OrCAD, Allegro, Ansys, Hyper Lynx)
•  

Product Development

• Review of the multi-disciplinary platform-level (Lz) requirements and translating into design.
• Participate in requirements gathering, feasibility analysis, effort estimation, and project planning.
• Drive end-to-end product development from concept through production release.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and manufacturing transfer activities.
• Coordinate with vendors for component procurement, PCB fabrication, and assembly.

Board Bring-Up & Validation

• Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and system integration activities.
• Conduct functional testing, design verification testing (DVT), and system testing.
• Perform power integrity, timing analysis, signal integrity evaluation, and root-cause debugging.
• Collaborate closely with firmware teams for interface validation and troubleshooting.
• Hands on experience on different instrument like oscilloscope, logic analyser and other equipment
• Verilog experience and working with Quartus design tools is a plus
• Hands-on debugging skills is a must

Compliance & Reliability

• Develop EMI/EMC test plans and support certification activities.
• Ensure compliance with industrial safety, reliability, and regulatory standards.
• Analyze test failures and implement corrective design improvements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with firmware, software, mechanical, CAD, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Participate in technical reviews and customer discussions.
• Prepare technical documentation, design reports, and engineering release packages.
