Lead Engineer-Hardware design

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Independently design and develop electronic hardware for Industrial Applications such as Electric Actuators.

• Design analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuits including microcontroller systems, sensor interfaces, power supplies, and signal conditioning.

• Translate subsystem requirements into robust, manufacturable hardware designs.

• Lead in schematic design, component selection, PCB layout, tolerance stack‑up, and routing considerations.

• Perform prototype hardware start‑up, debugging, and functional/performance validation.

• Conduct detailed analysis and resolution of hardware issues during development and testing phases.

• Ensure designs comply with EMI / EMC, safety, and environmental requirements by following established best practices.

• Work closely with firmware, mechanical, and test teams to ensure integrated system-level solutions.

• Support interaction with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and test labs for prototype and pilot builds.

• Mentor junior engineers in hardware design practices, debugging techniques, and documentation.

• Actively participate in technical reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.

• Communicate progress, risks, and technical challenges to the Technical Lead periodically.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• BE / Equivalent in Industrial Electronics / Electronics and Telecommunication with 8 to 12 years of experience in Electronics Hardware Design and Development.

• Strong hands‑on expertise in analog and digital circuit design.

• Proven experience in microcontroller-based designs, sensor interfacing, ADCs/DACs, and low‑noise signal conditioning.

• Good understanding of control electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and isolation techniques.

• Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, RS485, RS232, Ethernet, or USB.

• Hands‑on experience with AC/DC power supplies, SMPS, and DC‑DC converter designs.

• Ability to take designs from schematic capture to working prototypes, following structured processes from requirements specification, design guidelines, and PCB layout to DFM / DFT, collaborating effectively with mechanical and firmware teams across global locations.

• Solid understanding of EMI / EMC and safety compliance requirements.

• Proficiency in using lab equipment for independent debugging and validation.

• Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional and global teams.

• Strong documentation and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:

• Experience in industrial or automation product development.

• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., HART, Modbus, Ethernet based, Profibus, Wireless (such as Bluetooth, LoRaWAN) etc.).

• Experience with low-power embedded systems and battery management.

• Experience supporting manufacturing, pilot builds, and product launch activities.

• Mentoring or technical guidance experience for junior engineers.
