We are seeking an experienced Lead Hardware Design Engineer to drive the design and development of high-performance, multi-layer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designs for our cutting-edge products. In this role, you will take ownership of end-to-end hardware development, ensuring robust and efficient electronic designs. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers, to deliver high-quality, production-ready hardware.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and testing of multi-layer PCB layouts, ensuring compliance with electrical and mechanical design constraints.
• Work on high-speed, analog, and mixed-signal circuit design, optimizing for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Oversee schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection, ensuring best practices in EMI/EMC compliance and thermal management.
• Conduct signal integrity and power integrity analysis to optimize board performance.
• Collaborate with fabrication and assembly vendors to ensure manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of PCB designs.
• Perform design validation, debugging, and prototyping, ensuring alignment with product requirements.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware with firmware and mechanical components.
• Mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation.
• Stay updated with the latest trends in PCB design, electronic components, and fabrication techniques to drive continuous improvement.

Required Skills & Qualifications

•  10+ years of experience in hardware design with expertise in multi-layer PCB design.
• Strong proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, KiCad, or Mentor Graphics).
• Hands-on experience with high-speed signal design, power distribution, and thermal management techniques.
• Knowledge of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design principles.
• Experience in design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for testability (DFT).
• Proficiency in simulation tools for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal analysis.
• Strong debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Experience working in a product development environment with cross-functional teams.
• Understanding of EMC/EMI compliance and regulatory requirements.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-frequency RF circuit design is a plus.
• Familiarity with FPGA/SoC-based hardware design.
• Exposure to automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics industries.
