Ø Support for Prototype testing at External accredited Laboratories (TUV, EnVi test etc)

Ø Travelling to Field for troubleshooting, Testing and commissioning

Ø Establish Communication with Engineers / Project Managers both in India and SISCOs

Main Responsibilities:

• Design and development of analog/digital electronic boards
• Requirements analysis Collect and analyze technical specifications.
• ELN Component selection Choose appropriate components for the circuit based on design specifications, compliance with regulations, cost targets, longevity, and safety. Update components library.
• Schematic design Once components are selected, create the schematics, verifying performance where necessary through simulations (numerical, SPICE tools, etc.), considering tolerances, temperature variations, etc., using E-CAD tools.
• PCB design Develop PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layout using E-CAD tools, prepare production documentation for EMS and follow the supplier during prototyping/pre-series phases (design review, etc.).
• Testing and validation Perform tests on prototypes to verify functionality and compliance with specifications; manage validation and debugging phases using standard measurement tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, signal generators, etc.).
• Technical documentation Prepare schematics, BOMs, functional specifications, and test reports
• Compliance and standards Ensure compliance with electrical safety regulations and applicable EMC standards (electromagnetic compatibility).
• Interdisciplinary
• collaboration Collaborate with other teams (firmware, mechanical, production) to integrate the system and ensure product development in line with specifications.

Mandatory Requirements (Must-have)
