PCB Hardware Design Engineer

Company: Tech OVN Private Limited

Experience: 2–5 years

Qualification: B.Tech/B.E. in Electronics, Electronics & Communication, or a related discipline

Location: Binola, Gurugram

Employment Type: Full-time, On-site

Tech OVN is looking for a practical and detail-oriented Hardware Design Engineer with hands-on experience in electronic circuit design, PCB development, board bring-up, testing, and troubleshooting.

The candidate should be capable of taking a hardware product from design requirements through schematic development, PCB layout, manufacturing documentation, prototype testing, compliance testing, and production readiness.

• Capture and document hardware design requirements.
• Develop electronic schematics using Altium Designer.
• Perform schematic review and circuit simulation.
• Design multilayer PCB layouts while following EMI/EMC, signal-integrity, grounding, isolation, and thermal-management guidelines.
• Design boards according to applicable IPC standards.
• Carry out PCB Design for Manufacturing and Assembly—DFM and DFA.
• Prepare complete manufacturing documentation, including:
• Gerber and fabrication files
• Assembly files
• Bill of Materials
• Pick-and-place/SMT data
• Stencil data
• Silkscreen details
• PCB manufacturing guidelines
• Nodal test-point information
• Coordinate with PCB manufacturers, component suppliers, and SMT assembly teams.
• Perform board bring-up, functional testing, debugging, and design validation.
• Troubleshoot circuit, component, communication, EMI/EMC, and manufacturing-related issues.
• Support product type testing, reliability testing, and compliance testing.
• Incorporate improvements identified during prototype development and testing.
• Design boards to meet 35 kV immunity and RF jammer compliance requirements, wherever applicable.

The candidate should have practical knowledge of:

• Altium Designer
• Schematic capture and circuit simulation
• PCB layout and multilayer PCB design
• PCB DFM and manufacturing processes
• IPC standards
• EMI and EMC design practices
• Board bring-up and hardware troubleshooting
• Product reliability and type testing
• RS-485 and Ethernet communication interfaces
• GPRS, Wi-Fi, and other wireless communication modules
• Antenna placement, PCB antenna layout, and antenna-tuning considerations
• Power-supply and protection circuit design

The candidate should be familiar with the selection and application of components such as:

• Microcontrollers and processors
• SMPS controller ICs
• LDO regulators
• Operational amplifiers
• Communication and wireless modules
• Capacitors, including electrolytic capacitors
• X1, X2, Y1, and Y2 safety capacitors
• MOVs, TVS diodes, and surge-protection components
• Relays, optocouplers, isolation components, and interface ICs
• Connectors, magnetic components, and other PCB-level electronic components

• Strong practical understanding of electronic hardware rather than only theoretical knowledge.
• Experience developing industrial, IoT, energy-monitoring, communication, or embedded electronic products.
• Ability to independently debug prototypes using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analysers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment.
• Understanding of component selection, availability, lifecycle, alternates, and cost optimisation.
• Good documentation and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Ownership-oriented approach with the ability to take designs from concept to production.

Tech OVN designs and manufactures industrial electronics, IoT-enabled energy-monitoring products, communication hardware, and AC EV-charging solutions. We are building reliable, connected hardware products for Indian and international markets.
