Job Details:

Job Description:

Drives end-to-end development of platform hardware and translates platform-level requirements to circuit and component-level specifications.

Designs, develops, modifies, and evaluates electronic parts, components, PCB, or integrated circuitry for hardware platforms, electrical engineering applications, and equipment.

Conducts logical design of printed circuit boards through component definition and schematic capture, defines component placement and circuit trace routing rules, and oversees board layout from feasibility studies to board tape-out while meeting multi-disciplinary platform-level requirements.

Considers BOM cost and availability data versus design trade-offs at the board and system levels.

Applies design expertise to define processes for technical platforms, system specifications, input/output, and working parameters for hardware and software compatibility. Incorporates feedback from other functions (including verification, validation, manufacturing, and customer) to improve development methods.

Performs design research and verification, development, testing, and utilization of firmware, hardware, components, mechanisms, materials, thermal solutions, circuitry processes, packaging, and chassis for platform hardware.

Collaborates with architects, other platform hardware design engineers, hardware verification engineers, technical project managers, and technicians to plan and lead platform hardware power-on and debug activities.

Resolves system development and bring-up issues to deliver high-quality boards and platforms for customers.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics & Communication, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in hardware board design life-cycle.
  • Strong expertise in processor, FPGA, and SoC-based system design.
  • Proficiency in circuit design, analysis, and simulation.
  • Hands-on experience with key EDA tools such as Concept HDL, OrCAD, Allegro or equivalent.
  • Expertise in high‑speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal design principles.
  • Experience in embedded, telecom, or RF-based hardware platforms is a plus.
  • Exposure to thermal and mechanical design review and integration is an added advantage.
  • (Advantageous) Experience in silicon validation, electrical characterization, test card design, or platform enablement for early silicon bring-up.
