Senior Embedded Hardware Engineer | 4+ Years experience Role & Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end system-level hardware architecture including design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing of high-reliability electronics for airborne and space applications.
• Gather system requirements, perform component selection, and create Bills of Materials (Bo. Ms) with consideration for cost, availability, and lead times.
• Design power architectures including DC-DC converters, LDOs, protection circuits, power sequencing, and detailed power budgeting.
• Develop, review, and maintain schematics and PCB layouts for embedded hardware systems.
• Implement and interface RFSoC/MPSoC, FPGAs, MCUs, and So. Cs with external peripherals; integrate and validate interfaces such as SPI, UART, I²C, GPIO, and PCIe.
• Coordinate with external partners and vendors for fabrication, assembly, and testing in compliance with aerospace standards (AS9100).
• Collaborate closely with firmware teams to support hardware bring-up, debugging, and system validation.
• Perform comprehensive hardware testing and ensure compliance with quality and reliability standards.
• Create and maintain detailed technical documentation and work effectively with cross-functional teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics & Communication, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering discipline.
• 4+ years of demonstrated experience in electronic hardware design, development, and testing.
• Strong hands-on experience in schematic capture and PCB layout (single and multilayer boards) using tools such as Altium, Ki. Cad, Eagle, or similar.
• Experience with microcontrollers and So. Cs, peripheral interfacing, and communication protocols including SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, PCI-Express, USB, MIPI, LVDS, DDRx and others.
• Expertise in power supply design, including SMPS, DC-DC converters, LDOs, PMICs, and battery-operated systems with BMS.
• Advanced hardware and firmware debugging skills for effective troubleshooting of embedded system boards.
• Hands-on experience in SI, PI, and EMI/EMC–compliant PCB design, covering stack-up planning, impedance control, power distribution and decoupling, grounding strategies, and EMI mitigation techniques.
• Experience in designing schematics and layouts for RF circuits, integration for wireless modules is highly desirable.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment.
