JobType: full-time

We are looking for a highly skilled **Principal Hardware Architect** to lead the end-to-end development of next-generation power and embedded electronics for aerospace and UAV platforms. This role demands deep expertise in high-reliability hardware design, power electronics, mixed-signal architecture, and compliance with defence-grade qualification standards. You will take full ownership of system-level hardware delivery—from concept and architecture to validation and production release.

**Key Responsibilities**

** Own complete hardware lifecycle**: define requirements, lead architecture, develop schematics, drive PCB design, prototype, validate, and transition products to manufacturing.

** Design mission-critical electronics** including power conversion stages, BLDC motor drivers, battery management circuitry, high-speed sensor modules, and embedded compute boards.

** Engineer complex PCB architectures** (10+ layers) involving controlled impedance, high-speed routing, differential signaling, power integrity, and thermal design.

** Ensure aerospace-grade robustness** with qualification strategies aligned to MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, DO-160, or equivalent standards.

** Lead EMI/EMC planning and mitigation** through design rules, component selection, grounding strategies, shielding, and enclosure-level filtering.

Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, systems, and test engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and product reliability.

Conduct **design reviews, DFMEA, signal integrity analysis, thermal simulations, and validation testing** to guarantee performance under extreme environments.

Drive modular hardware platforms supporting multiple communication protocols (CAN, SPI, UART, RS485, Ethernet, USB, etc.) and sensor ecosystems.

Act as a technical leader and mentor for the hardware engineering team, establishing best practices, design standards, and review processes.

**Required Technical Experience**

8+ years of hands-on experience in power electronics, embedded hardware, or mixed-signal design for aerospace, defence, robotics, automotive, or ruggedized industrial products.

Proven ability to design and deliver high-power electronics (motor controllers, DC-DC converters, power distribution units, etc.) with thermal and efficiency constraints.

Strong command of EMI/EMC design considerations, signal integrity, grounding topologies, and system-level noise mitigation.

Experience taking hardware products from prototype through certification to production.

Deep understanding of closed-loop control, sensors, high-speed interfaces, and real-time embedded platforms.
