Hardware Design Engineer

JOB PROFILING – Hardware Design Engineer – BEC (Bussed Electrical Center)/HV PDU, DC-DC Converter, OBC (On Board Charger), BMS (Battery Management System) etc.

Education : B.Tech./M.Tech (Electrical Engineering)

Minimum Experience : 4+ Years

Role Summary

You will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of several hardware modules & platforms across a product. You will start contributing in the product concept phase to the engineering phase till the design is transferred to production. Your role will cover several aspects of E&E hardware, like Power design, high speed design, PCB design, EMC design, wiring harness design, simulations, design calculations, execution of DFM and DVP strategy, testing and certification for particular

Module /platforms. This role will involve a lot of cross-functional collaboration with other teams to meet product goals.

Skill Set

Technical Competencies :

• Understanding product requirements from customer point of view and converting them to technical requirements.
• Design hardware concepts and platform architecture based on product requirements
• Do block level design for estimation of project timeline and cost for project budgeting
• Develop schematics, layout, perform power and signal integrity analysis, simulations, testing and validation reports of sub-modules like power converters, BMS, motor drives, valve drives, display interfaces, processors, memories and communication interface modules.
• Collaborate with CFTs like firmware, software, mechanical design and validation teams for integration of modules with the product to achieve the product goals.
• Responsible for delivery of entire module/platform hardware design along with complete design and manufacturing documentation
• Design calculations, worst case calculations, component selection, alternate part search and documentation
• Development of application note documents for module / platform to enable use to internal customers in future projects
• Development of Manufacturing transfer documentation for E&E hardware, including PPAP, APQP, End of Line testing plans for a product before production rollout.
• Conceptualizing and developing specifications for automation of Jigs & Fixtures required for production planning, developing test plans.
• Conduct FMEA, DVP and risk management for modules and platforms
• Technical liaising with suppliers for E&E hardware
