Job Role & Responsibilities

Role:   Connectivity solutions hardware

Technical/ Functional:

• Design and develop connectivity and user-interface platforms for electric vehicles, including Telematics Units, Instrument Clusters, Access Control Systems, and Infotainment hardware.
• Integrate wireless communication technologies such as 4G/5G/LTE/NB-IoT, GNSS, BLE, and Wi-Fi, along with display and backlight modules.
• Develop the complete RF signal chain including RF front-end, antenna design, matching networks, filters, and protection circuits.
• Design the power management architecture using DC-DC converters, LDOs, sequencing, and automotive-grade transient/surge protection; integrate secure elements, SIM/eSIM, memory, and vehicle sensors (Radar, Ultrasonic, IMU, etc.).
• Implement and validate digital communication interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN, and Ethernet.
• Create detailed system architectures, block diagrams, schematics, BOM, and all supporting design documentation.
• Plan and execute PCB layout and mechanical packaging, ensuring electrical performance, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal reliability, and serviceability.
• Develop signal conditioning, filtering, and EMI/EMC-robust PCB designs meeting automotive safety and regulatory standards.
• Perform circuit simulations (worst-case analysis, Monte Carlo), component selection, derating analysis
• Conduct hardware bring-up, debugging, failure analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Collaborate with firmware teams for hardware–software integration and system-level performance optimization.
• Coordinate with suppliers for prototype builds and production readiness.
• Evaluate opportunities for functional consolidation into single ECUs to achieve cost, packaging, and manufacturing efficiencies.
• Drive improvements in design efficiency, manufacturability, and yield.
