About the role
- The Hardware Developer is responsible for designing, developing, testing, and validating electronic hardware used in company products, automation systems, and data‑driven platforms.
- This role focuses heavily on circuit board design, analog signal conditioning, microcontroller‑based systems, and embedded hardware development that supports reliable telemetry data acquisition and processing.
- The Hardware Developer participates in the full hardware lifecycle-from concept and schematic design through prototyping, testing, documentation, and release to production.
Responsibilities
- Hardware Design & Development
- Design and develop analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuits, including signal conditioning stages for sensors and instrumentation.
- Create schematics, PCB layouts, and component libraries using industry‑standard CAD tools.
- Develop hardware platforms that support telemetry data acquisition, filtering, buffering, and transmission.
- Build prototypes, evaluate performance, and iterate designs based on test results and system requirements.
- Maintain hardware documentation, BOMs, revision history, and engineering change records.
- Collaborate with software developer to ensure seamless integration between hardware and embedded software.
- Support embedded development by defining hardware‑software interfaces, pin mappings, and electrical constraints.
- Validate microcontroller performance, timing, and peripheral behavior under real‑world conditions.
- Develop and execute test plans for functional, environmental, and compliance testing.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related engineering discipline required.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in hardware development, PCB design, or embedded electronics.
- Strong experience with:
- Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
- Hands‑on experience with lab equipment for testing and debugging.
- Strong understanding of communication protocols relevant to embedded and hardware systems.
- Ability to interpret datasheets, electrical specifications, and system requirements.
