Embedded Hardware Engineer

# 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. ## Environment *Work setting details, location, and physical or environmental conditions are not specified.* ## Salary *Salary details are not specified.* ## Growth Opportunities *Career advancement opportunities within the company are not specified.* ## Benefits *Employee benefits such as insurance, paid leave, and work policies are not specified.*
