Electronics Hardware Engineer

Role Summary

The position is responsible for mixed signal low powerdesign and development of electronic systems for ATEX environments including certification and product lifecycle management. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams on product requirements and delivering robust, cost-effective and reliable products.

Principle accountabilities

• Design and develop analog and digital electronic circuits, including microcontroller-based systems, power supplies, signal conditioning, sensor interfaces and communication interfaces.

• Create and maintain schematics, PCB layouts, board stack-ups, component libraries and manufacturing documentation using Altium Designer.

• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging and troubleshooting using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, function generators and power supplies.

• Review and validate hardware designs for manufacturability, assembly, electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic compatibility, safety, and serviceability requirements.

• Lead component lifecycle analysis to identify obsolete, NRND, high-risk and long-lead components and develop appropriate mitigation plans.

• Evaluate and implement hardware changes resulting from component obsolescence, product improvements, cost reduction and availability issues.

• Prepare and manage engineering documentation including schematics, PCB files, BOMs, component specifications, test reports, design calculations, change documentation and release packages.

Educational Qualification & Experience

• Engineering degree in Electronics or Electrical or Instrumentation with minimum of 8 years of experience in electronics hardware design, PCB development and product development.

Competencies and Skills

• Proficiency in embedded hardware design, including analog and digital circuit design, microcontroller-based systems, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces.

• Strong hands-on experience in Altium Designer including Schematic, PCB layout, component/library management, Design rules, Board stack-up, Gerber/manufacturing outputs.

• Proficient in hardware bring-up, debugging and validation using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies and other laboratory instruments.

• Working knowledge of ERP/BOM systems and engineering master-data processes. Knowledge of engineering change management, product release and configuration management.

• Strong Understanding of industrial communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, RS485, and communication protocols such as HART, Fieldbus, Modbus, PROFIBUS and Ethernet.

• Strong Understanding of key design standards such as IEC 60079-11, IEC 61508, IPC standards for PCB

• Good project-management skills, including the ability to plan activities, prioritize tasks, manage technical risks and meet project milestones.

• Effective communication skills with the ability to present technical issues, design decisions, risks and recommendations to project and engineering teams.
