Senior Hardware Engineer

Descrizione del lavoro


We are seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer with expertise in designing and developing PCBA solutions for automotive oil pumps and industrial motor control systems. The ideal candidate will take technical ownership of electronic hardware platforms, from architecture, schematic design and PCB layout to debugging for EMC and electrical compliance, while collaborating closely with firmware, validation, and mechanical teams.

This role involves platform-level thinking, modular hardware development, and a strong focus on documentation and regulatory compliance for high-reliability applications in the automotive and industrial domains.

Electronic Architecture &Modular Design:



• Own the platform electronic architecture for the product generation.


• Decompose the overall system into electronic modules, defining modular design architecture for reusability.


• Create and maintain the electronic engineering module catalogue and configure modules for different projects.


• Evaluate the maturity and reusability of hardware modules.


• Contribute to electronic requirement reviews, assessing feasibility and proposing optimizations or deviations when needed.


• Define internal component-level requirements and derive interface specifications.


• Lead and contribute to decisions on the creation of new modules or module variants.


Design &Development:



• Design, simulate, and develop PCB As for oil pump controllers and industrial motor drives.


• Collaborate with suppliers on the development and simulation activities.


• Perform worst-case analysis, hardware calculation reports, and define electrical protections.


• Create and review all necessary hardware design outputs:


• Schematics (DSN, PDF)


• PCB Layout (BRD, Gerber RS274X)


• BOM ( Excel, PDF)


• Blueprints (. dpd), Drill Tables (ASCII)


• Mechanical integration files (. stp, . dxf)


• Pick &Place, Stackup, Fiducial, AOI/FCT/ICT test specs




Validation &Debug:



• Debug and resolve issues related to EMC, signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance.


• Conduct and support hardware integration testing and generate Hardware Integration Test Reports.


• Collaborate with supplier team for realization of AOI, FCT, and ICT validation.


• Provide support for DFMEA and risk assessments for design robustness.


Cross-functional Collaboration:



• Work closely with firmware developers, mechanical engineers, and testing teams to ensure system compatibility and integration.


• Participate in project reviews, gate reviews, and design for manufacturing (DFM) activities.


• Support design reviews and audits for ASPICE, ISO 26262, and other relevant automotive standards.


Required Qualifications:



• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, or a related field.


• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in hardware design for automotive or industrial applications.


• Proven experience in designing and debugging motor control PCB As and automotive electronic control units (EC Us).


• Strong understanding of EMC/EMI design principles and compliance testing.


• Proficiency in tools such as Candence OrCAD Tool chain, CAM 350 or equivalent.


• Familiar with industry standards: AEC-Q100, IPC standards, etc.


• Familiar with FMEA, WCA, thermal and electrical simulation tools.


• Strong Time Management and collaboration skills are essential


Qualifiche




• Experience in automotive sector.


• Hands-on experience with DC-DC converters, gate drivers, current sensing, and sensor integration.


• Exposure to Model- Based Design, Simulink, or MATLAB for system-level modelling.


• Understanding of CAN, LIN, or other automotive communication protocols.


• Soft skills of Critical thinking, Attention to detail &Interpersonal communication


• Familiar with industry standards: ISO 26262
