Sr. Hardware Design Engineer (Automotive )

Skills: EIS : Embedded Digital Hardware Design and Development

Experience Required: 10 & Above

Job title: Sr. Hardware Design Engineer

HIGHLEVEL:

As we continue evaluating candidates for the Senior Hardware Design position, please prioritize profiles that demonstrate proven end-to-end ownership of automotive hardware design. Strong expertise in PCB design reviews and high-speed layout is essential, and who has Automotive background will be highly helpful.

Candidates should have working knowledge of key automotive development and safety processes, including ISO 26262, FMEDA, DFMEA, and WCCA. We are specifically looking for individuals who can independently drive hardware architecture, validation activities, and technical decision-making across the product lifecycle.

The ideal candidate should also be comfortable leading cross-functional technical discussions and collaborating effectively with System, Mechanical, Firmware, Software, Manufacturing, and Customer teams.

Kindly align candidate screening and shortlisting accordingly.

Role Descriptions

Lead automotive electronic hardware development from concept through production. Translate customer and system requirements into hardware requirements| architecture| block diagrams| schematics| and detailed design documentation. Design analog| digital| power-supply| communication| sensor-interface| and microcontroller-based circuits.

Perform component selection considering performance| automotive qualification| reliability| availability| lifecycle| and cost. Review and guide PCB placement| routing| stack-up| grounding| shielding| thermal management| signal integrity| and power integrity. Perform circuit simulations| worst-case analysis| tolerance analysis| derating analysis| power-budget analysis| and design calculations.

Conduct hardware design reviews and ensure timely closure of technical findings. Develop and maintain the Bill of Materials and support component obsolescence management.

Support prototype development| board bring-up| integration| debugging| and functional testing.Define hardware verification and validation plans| test specifications| acceptance criteria| and test reports.Support EMC| ESD| electrical transient| environmental| vibration| thermal| and reliability testing.

Investigate design| manufacturing| validation| and field issues using structured root-cause analysis.Coordinate with system| software| mechanical| optics| validation| manufacturing| supplier| and customer teams.

Support design-for-manufacturing| design-for-testability| design-for-reliability| and production-launch activities.Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior hardware engineers and offshore teams. Support technical discussions| estimates| planning| customer reviews| and delivery commitments.
