EMBEDDED HARDWARE ENGINEER

Company Overview

Company information is not specified.

Job Summary

The Embedded Hardware Engineer will design, develop, and validate high-precision analog and mixed-signal circuits, including sensor interfaces, signal conditioning front-ends, ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter)/DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) systems, and low-noise amplifier stages. This position sits at the intersection of precision measurement and system-level hardware design, requiring deep expertise in noise analysis, component-level circuit design, and PCB layout for analog systems.

Responsibilities

• Design & Development:

  • Design and simulate precision analog circuits, such as instrumentation amplifiers and active filters.
  • Design complete ADC/DAC interface sub-systems, including anti-aliasing filters, input buffers, voltage references, and settling-time analysis for 12-24 bit converters.
  • Create schematic captures and lead layout reviews in Altium Designer or KiCad, focusing on mixed-signal partitioning, guard rings, and low-noise analog routing.
  • Perform circuit simulations using LTspice, Cadence SPICE, or MATLAB/Simulink (covering AC, transient, and noise analyses) prior to hardware build.

• Testing & Validation:

  • Characterize analog performance and conduct EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)/EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) pre-compliance testing for analog-specific susceptibility.
  • Generate validation reports, test protocols, and design documentation compliant with IEC measurement system standards.
  • Root-cause and debug hardware failures.

• System Integration & Collaboration:

  • Collaborate with firmware engineers to define hardware-software interfaces.
  • Interface with mechanical and PCB teams to ensure board material selection, layer stack-up, and shielding meet signal integrity and EMC requirements.
  • Review supplier datasheets, participate in BOM (Bill of Materials) optimization, and engage with component vendors for alternate sourcing of precision analog devices.

Qualifications

• Educational Qualifications:

  • B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) / B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) / M.Tech (Master of Technology) in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) or Electrical Engineering (EE).

• Key Skills:

  • Proficient in op-amp, instrumentation amplifier, comparator, and active filter design (Mandatory).
  • Extensive experience in sensor interface design (Mandatory).
  • Proficiency in LTspice SPICE simulation (Mandatory).
  • Experience in PCB layout for mixed-signal/analog boards (Preferred).
  • Familiarity with Altium Designer / KiCad schematic capture and layout (Preferred).
  • Knowledge of EMC design practices for analog circuits (Preferred).

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with PCB layout tools, specifically for mixed-signal and analog boards.
• Experience with EMC design practices.

Experience

• Total experience of 2-10 years in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
• At least 2 years of specific experience in analog circuit design, sensor interfaces, or measurement system design.
• End-to-end product experience encompassing concept, schematic, PCB layout review, bring-up, design verification testing (DVT), and production support.
