Hardware Engineering Specialist

As a specialist hardware Engineer, you will be part of an agile team who develops intelligent embedded electronic devices for high performance, real-time controls and protective relays used for smart grid applications in the electrical power distribution industry. You will collaborate with a multi-discipline engineering team (software, hardware, and test), distributed around the world, to define requirements between hardware and software subsystems. -Own end‑to‑end electronic hardware architecture, design, and verification for embedded products (digital/analog, power, high‑speed interfaces, microcontrollers/microprocessors, PMICs, sensors, comms, etc.), from requirements through validation and production release. -Lead hardware requirements flow‑down, design tradeoffs, derating, simulation/analysis, design reviews and DfX (DFM/DFA/DFT). -Champion product compliance/readiness for utility environments (e.g., IEC 61850‑3, IEEE 1613), working with codes & standards and test labs. -Collaborate with firmware & software Systems, Marketing, Test, Manufacturing/Quality, Product and Supply Chain teams to ensure platform reuse, manufacturability, and robust V&V plans across the lifecycle. -Develop test script for board bring up and design verification, document test plan, test criteria and conduct test for circuitry design -Support and resolve engineering problems found during production and field -Understand logic and algorithms for signal processing, real-time control algorithms, and high-speed communication interfaces -Mentor/lead engineers' team, facilitate communities of practice, guide technical reviews and coaching plans. -Influence/lead capacity planning and skill development; help shape staffing plans and competency assessments used by managers. (This role is intended to transition into a Resource Manager when headcount and business needs align.) -Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or computer science from an accredited institution -Minimum 7 years of experience in electronic design or developing embedded communication or control devices -Master's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited institution -Experience developing control algorithms, experience developing signal processing algorithms -Experience in FPGA design simulation (i.e. MATLB and Simulink) -Proficiency in Altium Designer, signal integrity tools, and simulation platforms. -Familiarity with Agile development, DFSS, PPAP -Knowledge of power systems, switchgear and regulator controls products/applications is an added advantage We are committed to ensuring equal employment opportunities for all job applicants and employees.
