Hardware Design Engineer
About the Role
The Senior Hardware Design Engineer is responsible for leading the end-to-end development of embedded hardware products—from concept and architecture through design, prototyping, testing, certification, and mass production. This is a senior technical leadership role that requires hands-on expertise in hardware design, wireless technologies, and product development, along with the ability to mentor engineers and drive projects to successful completion. This position also acts as a functional lead for the hardware team, working closely with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and project management teams to deliver reliable, production-ready products within defined timelines.
What You Will Do
- Lead the complete hardware design lifecycle for embedded products, from concept to production.
- Design and review schematics, PCB layouts, and hardware architectures.
- Develop products based on System on Module (SOM) platforms.
- Design battery-powered embedded systems with efficient power management.
- Integrate wireless technologies such as 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), LoRa, and NB-IoT.
- Implement and debug communication interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, SDIO, Ethernet, and Modbus.
- Perform hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and product validation.
- Develop hardware test plans and support product verification and validation.
- Design and implement production test jigs and fixtures for manufacturing.
- Coordinate and support regulatory certifications such as CE and FCC.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless product development and successful product launches.
- Mentor junior hardware engineers by providing technical guidance and conducting design reviews.
- Lead multiple hardware development activities simultaneously while ensuring quality, cost, and schedule objectives are met.
What We’re Looking For
- 8–12 years of experience in embedded hardware design and product development.
- Proven experience in delivering 3–4 commercial products from design through production.
- Strong experience in SOM-based hardware design.
- Hands-on experience developing products using wireless technologies such as 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, or NB-IoT.
- Strong understanding of embedded communication protocols including SPI, I2C, UART, SDIO, Ethernet, and Modbus.
- Experience designing battery-powered products and power management circuits.
- Expertise in hardware debugging, board bring-up, and issue resolution.
- Experience creating hardware validation plans and supporting manufacturing test strategies.
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance and certification processes, including CE and FCC.
- Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills with the ability to guide a hardware team.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality products within aggressive timelines
