You’ll own critical hardware subsystems — from schematic capture and PCB layout to prototype bring-up and field testing — working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and mission readiness.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop embedded electronic systems for AUV platforms deployed in maritime environments
- Create detailed schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using industry-standard tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, Eagle, etc.)
- Evaluate, select, and validate electronic components with an emphasis on reliability and cost-effectiveness in harsh conditions
- Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation onsite using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment
- Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and test teams for integrated hardware-software system validation
- Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC standards and environmental ruggedization requirements
- Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including SoPs, BOMs, and validation reports
- Should have experience with DFM and DFT
- Work with manufacturing and assembly partners to enable design for manufacturability and ensure smooth production cycles
- Participate in onsite field tests, hardware iterations, and troubleshooting during vehicle integration and trials
- Hands-on experience with microcontroller circuit and PCB design like Arduino, STM32 etc.
- Good to have: experience with RF design.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- 2+years of embedded hardware design experience, preferably with exposure to maritime or robotics applications
- Expertise in schematic design and PCB layout for multi-layer boards (4+ layers) using Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, or OrCAD
- Strong understanding of analog, digital, and power electronics circuit design principles
- Experience with microcontroller-based embedded systems and communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and other serial protocols
- Proficiency with laboratory instruments including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters for hardware bring-up and debugging
- Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and design best practices for rugged environments
- Strong documentation skills and familiarity with version control and BOM management
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing electronics for underwater or harsh environmental conditions
- Familiarity with power management circuits including DC-DC converters and battery interfaces
- Understanding of thermal management and mechanical integration challenges in compact electronics
- Experience supporting onsite vehicle integration and system-level testing
