Embedded Hardware-Lead designer Engineer

Embedded Hardware-Lead Designer Engineer

Hardware-Lead designer Embedded Hardware Engineer for Value Engineering team, focusing on cost optimization, lead time reduction, component standardization, and supply chain resilience for HVAC product lines across globe.

Key Responsibilities

• Review Requirements, Schematic and BOMs to identify value engineering opportunities for cost, lead time, SKU consolidation, and sourcing flexibility.
• Analyze and improve existing hardware designs to support cost optimization, obsolescence mitigation, and supply chain resilience.
• Evaluate and implement alternate electronic and electro-mechanical components (e.g., VFD units, relays, transformers, contactors etc).
• Design and modify embedded systems using 8/16/32-bit microcontrollers, integrating both analog and digital circuitry.
• Replace custom or high-cost unique components with standard, cost-effective equivalents without compromising function, manufacturability, or regulatory compliance.
• Update and maintain schematics, BOMs, component libraries, and supporting design documents.
• Support sustenance engineering activities such as component lifecycle management and redesigns.
• Contribute to compliance support, including UL/CE re-certification following design updates.
• Propose and validate alternate PCB layouts for cost and manufacturability improvements.
• Prepare and execute module/system-level test plans for modified hardware.
• Able to prepare component tests plans based on data sheets and application scenarios.
• Adhere to internal product development and engineering change processes and contributing to continuous improvement.

Requirements

• 7?10 years of Embedded hardware design and development experience, with good exposure to value engineering or sustaining engineering roles.
• Hands on experience in mixed-signal embedded system design using 8/16/32-bit microcontrollers (e.g., PIC, TI MSP, ST).
• Skilled in digital and analog circuits, including op-amps, ADCs/DACs, filters, and signal conditioning.
• Exposure to electro-mechanical components such as transformers, relays, contactors, and fan controls.
• Experience in VE and component engineering and alternate part qualification.
• Exposure to schematic capture (OrCAD, Dx-Designer) and PCB layout tools (Allegro, OrCAD Layout).
• Experience in stress analysis, MTBF/MMBTF estimation, and reliability evaluation.
• Knowledge of compliance requirements (UL, CE, REACH, RoHS) and experience supporting certification processes.
• Well versed in using HW Equipment ? Digital multimeter, DSO, LRC meters, AC/ DC Power supplies, Function generator etc.
• Understanding of DFM/DFT principles and manufacturing interface requirements.
• Experienced with version control and defect tracking systems.
• Strong documentation, collaboration, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Self-motivated, quick learner, and committed to delivering results in a team-driven, collaborative environment.
