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 (BoMs) 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 SoCs 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.

•         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, KiCad, Eagle, or similar.

•         Experience with microcontrollers and SoCs, 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.
