Senior Hardware Engineer – Digital, Power and FPGA

RADWIN Chennai India Full-time

The Role

RADWIN is looking for a hands-on Senior Hardware Engineer to develop next-generation wireless platforms based on Qualcomm networking SoCs ARM-based processors and FPGAs.

Reporting to the Platform Group Manager you will take technical ownership of digital and power hardware development from architecture and schematic design through board bring-up validation and production. You will work closely with RF and antenna mechanical software firmware compliance and manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop hardware architectures block diagrams and detailed designs taking projects from concept through mass production.
• Design processor-based boards using Qualcomm SoCs and other ARM-based processors including DDR memory flash PCIe USB Ethernet/SerDes interfaces clocking and reset circuits.
• Design power systems including multi-rail PMICs DC/DC converters power sequencing PoE (PD/PSE) protection circuits and power budgets for outdoor products operating across wide temperature ranges.
• Develop FPGA board designs including device selection pin planning configuration high-speed interfaces and integration with FPGA and firmware engineers.
• Create and maintain schematics in OrCAD Capture. Guide PCB layout define stack-up and signal- and power-integrity constraints and review component placement and routing.
• Perform signal-integrity power-integrity and thermal analyses validating results against lab measurements.
• Bring up and debug complex boards with software and firmware teams using oscilloscopes logic and protocol analyzers JTAG and power analyzers.
• Define and execute hardware design verification tests including margin temperature power and reliability testing. Support EMC surge and safety qualification.
• Work with Qualcomm and other component vendors on reference designs design reviews and technical issue resolution.
• Support manufacturing test development production troubleshooting component obsolescence and design improvements.
• Contribute to design reviews engineering documentation and design guidelines and share technical expertise with other engineers.
