Job Summary

Job Title: Associate Hardware Design Engineer

Location:On-site (Pune)

Reporting to:Engineering Manager

Platform Proficiency:Jira Schematic Design (EasyEDA/Altium) LTspice EVK Environments

Professional Objectives

We are seeking a proactive Associate Hardware Design Engineer to drive the research and development of our next-generation Vision Telematics and ADAS platforms. This role is centered on Zero-to-One R&D: conducting deep-dive component research developing hardware concepts and performing initial circuit validation. You will serve as a technical catalyst collaborating with AI Firmware and Compliance teams to ensure our designs are cutting-edge and optimized for complex automotive environments.

Core Responsibilities

Concept Research & Design:Research advanced components (AI processors camera sensors memory) and develop circuits for high-performance Vision Telematics and ADAS applications.
Hardware Prototyping:Build proof-of-concept models using Evaluation Kits (EVKs) including processor boards power supply boards and interface boards to verify hardware logic before full-scale design.
In-Depth Troubleshooting:Exercise high analytical skills to debug complex hardware failures and independently propose technical solutions or design modifications.
Cross-Functional Liaison:Act as the technical point of contact between AI and Firmware teams to translate system requirements into hardware specifications.
Compliance Support:Understand regulatory test cases (e.g. AIS-140 CE/FCC CB E-Mark etc) and author comprehensive Test Guides to assist lab technicians during the certification process.
Prototyping & Rework:Execute precision soldering including IC swaps and board modifications to facilitate rapid hardware iterations in the lab.

Technical Knowledge & Architecture

Power Supply Design: Strong expertise in power supply design. Familiarity with automotive-specific design requirements (transient protection load dump etc.) is a significant advantage.
Advanced Architecture:Working knowledge of Processor/RAM architectures MIPI/Analog camera interfaces and high-speed storage (SD/eMMC).
Communication & Wireless:Mandatory mastery of UART I2C SPI and USB; knowledge of GSM GNSS Bluetooth Wi-Fi and NFCfor peripheral connectivity.
Automotive & Industrial:Functional knowledge of CAN bus RS-485 RS232 K-Line and Ethernet.
Lab Instrumentation:Essential proficiency with DSOs (Digital Storage Oscilloscopes) Multimeters and Logic Analyzersfor hardware debugging and signal validation.

Candidate Profile

Experience:1 to 5 yearsin hardware R&D or design. You should be excited to work on next-generation technology that merges telematics with AI-driven safety.
The Maker Mindset:A hands-on engineer who enjoys building circuits from scratch and possesses the technical curiosity to master new hardware platforms quickly.
System-Level Thinker:Able to think independently to bridge the gap between customer requirements hardware constraints and firmware logic.
Collaboration & Communication:Strong technical writing skills to produce test guides and the ability to work under R&D timeline.
Coding (Added Advantage):Basic familiarity with C/C or Python for hardware sanity checks is appreciated but not mandatory.
