• Perform schematic design, PCB layout, and component selection for reliable IoT device operation.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, certification requirements, and power optimization for low-power IoT applications.
• Firmware/Driver Integration
• Collaborate with firmware engineers to integrate drivers for peripherals, sensors, and communication modules.
• Debug and optimize firmware-hardware interactions to achieve high performance, stability, and scalability.
• Provide support in bootloader development, device bring-up, and system validation.
• IoT System Integration
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate IoT modules into larger system architectures.
• Ensure connectivity, interoperability, and data flow across IoT devices, gateways, and cloud platforms.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware-related issues impacting system-level performance.
• Testing & Validation
• Develop and execute test plans for hardware prototypes, pre-production units, and final devices.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for failures, implement corrective actions, and improve system reliability.
• Collaborate with quality and compliance teams to support certification and regulatory approvals.
• Documentation & Collaboration
• Create and maintain hardware design documentation, technical specifications, and integration guidelines.
• Work closely with product management, R&D, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful product delivery.
• Mentor junior engineers, share best practices, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
