Sr. Design Engineer

Experience: 5 - 8 Years

Role Summary:

Sr. Design Engineer will be responsible for end-to-end electronic design, development, and prototyping of advanced electro-optical products such as thermal imagers, night vision systems, and weapon upgrade kits. The role involves embedded firmware design and components design, cross-functional collaboration, and technical documentation, with a strong focus on innovation and quality.

Key Responsibilities:

1.
Electronics Design & Development:

• Design and develop e
  mbedded systems (Linux/FreeRTOS)
  using
  MCUs
  like PIC, ESP32, ARM Cortex, ATMEL, TI, Renesas, AVR, etc., and
  Microprocessors
  like Xilinx, NVIDIA, etc.
• Design and develop
  embedded software and firmware.
• Apply Wired Communication Protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, RS485, USB, CAN, Ethernet, SDI 12) and IoT Protocol (MQTT).
• Understanding of Boot loader and Low-level device driver and their development.
• Ensure integration with mechanical and optical verticals for seamless product development.

• Execute electronic design including schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, and design validation.

• Testing, Debugging & Lab Work:

• Conduct testing and debugging using lab tools such as DSO, CRO, Logic Analyser, etc.

• Perform root cause analysis and support corrective design actions.

• Assist in prototype development, functional validation, and pre-production testing.

• OEM & Technology Interaction:

• Source and evaluate global/local OEM components (thermal cores, lasers, microcontrollers, etc.) based on obsolescence, cost, and availability.

• Liaise with OEMs, DRDO labs, CSIR, SAMEER, and private labs for testing (EMI/EMC) and technology collaboration.

• Project & Documentation Management:

• Maintain complete design documentation: requirement analysis, system architecture, schematic, BOM, testing reports, ECNs, etc.

• Prepare technical brochures, assembly/disassembly guides, and technology notes on ICCD, CMOS, SWIR/LWIR, etc.

• Ensure ECN control, SAP codification, and BOM finalization and uploading.

• Cross-functional Collaboration:

• Coordinate with Mechanical, Optical, and SCM teams for product housing, procurement, and timely execution.

• Work with Engineering & Project teams on client-specific tenders (RFI/RFP).

• Innovation & Continuous Improvement:

• Analyze global technology trends and competitive products.

• Recommend in-house projects and contribute to joint development with DRDO/CSIR where feasible.
• Improve production techniques and address field feedback/improvement points.

Preferred Skills & Tools:

• Strong experience in Electronic Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, and PCB components.
• Proficiency in Embedded Programming (C/C++, Python, Assembly) for platforms like ESP32, PIC, STM32, etc.
• Hands-on experience with lab testing tools: CRO, DSO, Logic Analyzer, etc.
• Familiarity with SAP for BOM and inventory management is a plus.

Qualifications & Experience:

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics/Electronics & Communication/Embedded Systems.
• 5–8 years of relevant experience
  in electronic product design & development.
• Experience in the defense, opto-electronics, or embedded systems industry will be preferred.
