What You’ll Do
Lead the end‑to‑end design of embedded electronic circuits and microcontroller‑based systems for power distribution, monitoring, protection, and control applications.
Architect robust hardware solutions that meet functional, reliability, environmental, EMI/EMC, safety, and compliance requirements (UL, IEC, NEC, and other relevant standards).
Own schematic creation, PCB layout guidance/review, component selection, derating analysis, circuit simulations, and design documentation.
Conduct prototyping, bring‑up, debugging, and iterative refinement to ensure design robustness.
Drive the integration of analog, digital, and power electronics elements into cohesive, production‑ready hardware systems.
Perform and review circuit‑level simulations using tools such as PSpice, LTSpice, Ansys, MATLAB, MathCAD, and other analysis tools.
Apply strong analytical skills to assess component stresses, thermal performance, fatigue life, signal integrity, and system reliability.
Utilize FEA/CAE tools as required for thermal, structural, and electromagnetic analysis supporting design decisions.
Demonstrate leadership in delivering at least two medium‑to‑high complexity hardware programs from concept through commercialization, including PoC development, design validation, compliance testing, and certification.
Ensure designs meet global regulatory, safety, and performance standards relevant to power distribution, switching, and protection products.
Support DVT/EVT phases, test plan creation, root‑cause analysis, and corrective action implementation.
Work closely with manufacturing and NPI teams to ensure designs are optimized for efficient assembly, cost, testability, and long‑term reliability.
Provide expertise on manufacturing processes including PCB assembly, SMT processes, soldering standards, component placement, and electronic board qualification. Review manufacturing test strategies, production issues, and field-return analysis to drive continuous improvement.
Partner with firmware, systems engineering, product management, test/validation, sourcing, and global development teams to deliver high‑quality products on schedule.
Lead or contribute to design reviews, DFMEA, PFMEA, risk assessments, and technical decision forums.
Provide guidance, mentorship, and technical leadership to junior engineers and global engineering partners.
Qualifications
Education level required : Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering / Electronics & Telecommunication (E&TC) / Instrumentation Engineering.
Years and area of experience required : 8+ years of hands‑on experience in electronic hardware design, development, and validation for power distribution, protection, switching, or metering product lines
Technical Knowledge
Strong analog design skills, including op‑amp circuits, filters, sensor interfaces, power supply components, and constant‑current drivers.
Solid digital hardware experience with microcontroller‑based systems (16/32‑bit MCUs) and communication interfaces like RS‑232, SPI, I²C, Ethernet, CAN, and wireless protocols.
Proficient in schematic design and knowledgeable in PCB layout guidelines for signal integrity, high‑speed design, thermal constraints, and EMI/EMC compliance.
Skilled in hardware bring‑up, bench debugging, and use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers.
Hands‑on experience with module‑level validation, physical‑layer testing, and design verification processes.
Able to perform circuit simulations, component derating, and stress/thermal analysis using tools such as PSpice, LTSpice, MATLAB, or Ansys.
Good understanding of power system fundamentals including VA, power factor, losses, and efficiency.
Experienced in defining hardware architecture, performance specifications, and system‑level requirements for embedded control systems.
Familiar with manufacturing processes including SMT assembly, PCB fabrication, DFM/DFT considerations, and supporting NPI builds.
Knowledge of UL/IEC/NEC standards and regulatory requirements for low‑voltage electrical products.
Skills
Soft skills :
Clear and concise communication—able to document designs and collaborate across global, cross-functional teams.
Structured problem solving, analytical thinking, and a quality-first mindset.
Ownership and accountability for commitments; ability to work independently with guidance and to contribute in code/design reviews.
Curiosity to learn, adapt, and drive continuous improvement and reuse.
