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

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.
