Computer Hardware Engineer (Full Time)

Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development:

Design, develop, and test computer hardware components and systems, including circuit boards, microprocessors, memory devices, input/output (I/O) interfaces, and other peripheral devices.

Create detailed technical specifications, block diagrams, and schematics for new hardware designs.

Select appropriate electronic components (ICs, passives, connectors) based on performance, cost, availability, and reliability requirements.

Prototyping & Testing:

Build and test prototypes of new hardware designs, performing rigorous functional, performance, stress, and reliability testing.

Conduct debugging, fault isolation, and root cause analysis of hardware issues using specialized test equipment.

Verify designs against specifications and industry standards.

Schematic Capture & PCB Layout:

Utilize Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for schematic capture and oversee or perform Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout design, ensuring signal integrity and manufacturability.

Collaborate with PCB fabricators and assemblers to ensure quality production.

System Integration:

Integrate hardware components with firmware, operating systems, and application software to ensure seamless system functionality.

Work closely with software and firmware development teams to define hardware-software interfaces.

Documentation & Compliance:

Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including design specifications, test plans, test reports, manufacturing instructions, and Bill of Materials (BOMs).

Ensure all hardware designs comply with relevant industry standards (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet), regulatory requirements (e.g., EMI/EMC, RoHS, WEEE), and safety certifications.

Troubleshooting & Debugging:

Diagnose and resolve complex hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions throughout the product lifecycle.

Provide technical support for manufacturing and field issues related to hardware.

Research & Innovation:

Stay updated with the latest advancements in computer hardware technology, microarchitectures, and industry trends.

Contribute to research initiatives and explore innovative solutions for future product development.

Collaboration:

Work effectively in a cross-functional team environment, collaborating with mechanical engineers, software developers, firmware engineers, quality assurance, and manufacturing teams.

Local Communication:

Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely. Fluency in Marathi and Hindi is beneficial for local team collaboration. Excellent English proficiency is essential for technical documentation, design reviews, and interaction with global partners or resources.
