This role in summary

The Hardware Engineering position will serve as the technical lead in electronics hardware design, development, and validation for cutting-edge consumer durable appliances. This role demands expertise in circuit design, PCB development, and system-level integration, collaborating across functional teams to deliver innovative, high-quality, and reliable electronic control systems from concept to production.

Your responsibilities will include

Technical Leadership:

• Act as a technical lead for hardware design projects, guiding cross-functional teams through end-to-end development cycles.

• Conduct technical design reviews, root cause analysis, FMEA, and validation to ensure robust designs.

• Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and influence design decisions.

Circuit Design & PCB Development:

• Develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, including motor controllers, power supplies (AC/DC, DC/DC), and microcontroller-based systems.

• Design circuit schematics, perform simulations (PSPICE, LTSPICE), and oversee PCB layouts using tools like Cadence Allegro.

• Optimize designs for manufacturability, testability, and regulatory compliance (e.g., UL, IEC, CE, BIS).

System Integration:

• Collaborate with system architects and cross-disciplinary teams to integrate hardware solutions into appliance platforms.

• Manage component selection, de-rating analysis, and supplier engagement to meet performance, cost, and reliability goals.
