Job Description

Job Description

Position Summary: This role focuses on hardware design, embedded firmware development, and compliance testing for industrial environments. Candidates must have hands-on experience with analog/digital circuit design, PCB development, and microcontroller programming.

Key Responsibilities

New Product Development

  • Lead end-to-end design of instrumentation and control products (e.g., transducers, transmitters, electronic switches) from concept to launch.
  • Architect and design electronics systems, including analog/digital circuits and PCB layouts using tools such as Altium or Eagle.
  • Develop embedded firmware for microcontrollers in C/C++ and integrate with hardware systems.
  • Prototype and validate hardware designs, ensuring proper integration with mechanical components.
  • Perform compliance, functional, and environmental testing—including EMI/EMC, hazardous locations, vibration, shock, and climatic—to ensure adherence to specifications and certification standards

Sustaining Engineering

  • Drive engineering changes and cost-reduction initiatives without compromising form, fit, or function.
  • Support production with technical inquiries and troubleshooting.
  • Address customer quality issues with urgency and provide robust design solutions.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead project teams and coordinate with global design centers in Germany and India.
  • Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, vendors, certification agencies, and customers.

Critical Skills & Experience

  • Hands-on expertise in analog and digital circuit design (Op-Amps, Filters, SPICE simulation).
  • Proficiency in PCB design tools (Altium, Eagle or equivalent).
  • Embedded C programming experience for microcontrollers and hardware integration.
  • Knowledge of ultra-low power mixed-signal electronics for industrial automation.
  • Experience with EMI/EMC compliance testing and hazardous location certifications.
  • Familiarity with DFM, FMEA, DVP&R, and 8D problem-solving methodologies.

Professional Experience/ Skills & Qualifications

  • BS/MS in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
  • 4+ years of experience in electromechanical or mechatronics systems design.
  • Strong background in embedded hardware development, including Microcontroller-based designs (RAM, EEPROM).
  • ASICS bases designs
  • Analog/digital circuit design and signal conditioning.
  • Crystal oscillator circuits, UART, LED/LCD interfaces.
  • Experience with oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, and debugging tools.
  • Preferred knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, BLE, I²C, SPI).
  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (QAD or equivalent).
