Position Description:

As a Hardware design engineer, you will develop, improve, and test components and systems including circuit boards. This highly technical role requires attention to detail through the design, deployment, and troubleshooting processes, analyse test data to enhance performance, make repairs and changes to both analog and digital circuitry, and ensure proper functionality.

You shall work with computers, an increasing number of engineers specialize in designing hardware for devices that incorporate circuit boards, such as electronic devices.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and Develop Hardware Components - including circuit boards, switches, processors, and networking elements. Examine technological specifications and functional requirements, designing components and systems that will deliver the expected performance while working in tandem with other analog or digital elements of the device.

Modify Existing Hardware - make modifications to existing hardware components and systems based on changes in functional requirements or use cases. Eliminate performance issues that cause the device to malfunction. In this aspect of the role, the hardware design engineer ensures that changes to components work with the system as a whole and do not impede performance.

Test Components - conduct component tests throughout the design process, testing the elements individually and in conjunction with other hardware (and sometimes software) systems, then analyse test data to guide changes, enhance system performance and stability, and eliminate defects. Each time the hardware is altered, it should conduct additional tests to ensure functionality and performance.

Create Documents and Specifications - prepare and maintain documents throughout the design and development process. These can include data regarding equipment specifications, power requirements for digital and analog components, and notes on testing or configuration. Rigorous documentation ensures that components and systems work as intended and can be successfully integrated into other devices. Maintaining documentation also helps with testing and troubleshooting by providing a detailed record of changes and fixes.

Oversee Manufacturing Processes - collaborate with manufacturing personnel to ensure that elements are built according to specifications. Work closely with fabricators to create a prototype of a design in order to conduct further testing and modifications and modify the design based on this prototype. Provide feedback to manufacturing teams to update specifications and requirements.

Collaborate with Software Developers – You may also work with software engineers and developers during the development cycle, especially if you are designing hardware for devices that integrate with software systems. This ensures that the hardware reliably runs the intended software. This collaboration often results in many rounds of testing and revision to both hardware and software components.

Requirements

Skills and Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering

Minimum 3+ years of experience in related field

Process oriented and a good verbal and written communicator.

Demonstrated ability in high-speed digital electronic design, prototyping and debugging.

Previous use of Hardware engineering software (Altium, OrCAD Cadence Allegro)

Experience in Electronics tools (soldering irons, magnifiers, multimeter, Oscilloscope, power supply, anemometer, air purifier, RPM meter)

Familiarity with SoC designs (32-bit minimum) including DDR3/4 and high-speed peripheral interfaces, e.g., PCIe, USB 3.0, SATA.

Prototyping experience – knowledge of manufacturing and prototyping processes can be extremely helpful in this role, since hardware design engineers tend to work with fabricators to develop models and rapid prototypes

Analytical thinking – hardware design engineers conduct tests and interpret the results, so effective analytical skills and the ability to process data and derive insights from that data is vital

exp in all phases of Hardware Development Life Cycle Microprocessor / Microcontroller based embedded hardware digital board design, Analog and mixed signal board design, EMI / EMC testing

Signal Integrity, PCB design (at least 2/4-layer design)
