Our clients span India, South Asia, South East Asia, Africa, and LATAM. We're headquartered in Dubai, with offices in Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Nairobi, and Mexico City. Our development centre is in Gurugram, India.

The Role

We are looking for a PCB Design Engineer — from schematic capture through fabrication-ready Gerbers. You'll work closely with firmware and mechanical teams on compact, ruggedized, sensor-heavy boards for edge-deployed systems.

Core Responsibilities

Design multi-layer PCBs in Altium Designer, from schematic capture to layout, routing, and DFM/DFA checks
Select components (MOSFETs, MCUs, RF modules, sensors, power regulators) balancing cost, availability, and performance
Design power delivery networks, signal integrity-critical traces (high-speed, RF, analog), and EMI/ESD protection
Collaborate with mechanical engineering using Fusion 360 for enclosure fit, thermal considerations, and 3D board-in-box validation
Use CircuitMaker or equivalent for early-stage schematic prototyping/collaboration where applicable
Generate and validate BOMs, Gerbers, pick-and-place files, and fab/assembly documentation
Work with contract manufacturers (CMs) for prototyping, bring-up, and troubleshooting
Support bring-up and debug of assembled boards (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
Maintain design revision history and documentation standards

Key Requirements

3-6 years of experience in PCB design and embedded hardware development
Strong hands-on experience with Altium Designer (schematic + PCB layout)
Working knowledge of Fusion 360 for mechanical/electro-mechanical co-design
Solid grasp of analog/digital circuit design fundamentals — power regulation, signal integrity, grounding/shielding
Experience with component selection, datasheets, and sourcing (Mouser/Digikey/Octopart)
Understanding of DFM/DFA principles and PCB fabrication constraints
Comfortable reading and debugging with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers

Good to Have

Experience with RF/antenna design or GSM/LTE modules
Familiarity with CircuitMaker or similar schematic capture tools
Exposure to ESP32/embedded MCU-based product design
Familiarity with UART/I2C/SPI protocol-level integration and OEM protocol design
Prior experience in defence-tech, IoT, or ruggedized product environments
Basic firmware literacy (C/C++) to collaborate effectively with embedded teams

What We Offer

A front-row seat to the build-out of unsecured lending in emerging markets
Direct exposure to senior stakeholders across global financial services
Competitive base + variable tied to qualified meetings and SQLs
Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
A high-velocity, low-bureaucracy environment where good ideas ship the same week

Location & Work Model

Location: Gurugram, Sector 65, work from office
Start date: Immediate joiners preferred
