Electronics Hardware Engineer (Embedded & PCB Design)

Location: Islamabad (on-site, with occasional field visits)
Type: Full-time
Experience: 3–5 years

We are seeking a skilled Electronics Hardware Engineer to join our team in designing and developing industrial electronic devices. This role involves close collaboration with mechatronics and software teams, taking projects from schematic design through to fully tested field products. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, detail-oriented, and experienced in creating reliable hardware solutions for challenging environments.

Key Responsibilities
- Design circuits and multi-layer PCBs (2–4 layers) using KiCad or Altium, focusing on sensor interfaces, precision measurement, and microcontroller boards such as ESP32 and STM32.
- Develop 12/24 V DC power stages incorporating surge protection, reverse-polarity safeguards, and fuse protection.
- Integrate various sensors and communication interfaces including UART, RS-485/Modbus, I2C, SPI, and Wi-Fi.
- Design control panels for motors, pumps, and valves, including relays, contactors, and overload protection mechanisms.
- Prototype, solder, test, and document hardware designs thoroughly, producing schematics, bills of materials (BOMs), wiring diagrams, and test reports.
- Select appropriate IP65/IP67 enclosures and source locally available components to ensure durability and cost-effectiveness.

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering.
- Minimum of 3 years’ hands-on experience in circuit and PCB design, supported by a portfolio of designed boards.
- Strong fundamentals in analog and power electronics.
- Experience with precision analog sensing, signal conditioning, and sensor calibration techniques.
- Proven ability to design hardware for outdoor and harsh environments, considering temperature extremes, vibration, moisture, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
- Practical skills in using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters, along with proficiency in SMD soldering. Ability to analyze and characterize undocumented devices is essential.
- Knowledge of safe AC switching and panel wiring practices.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
- Experience in robotics, including motor drivers, encoders, and sensor feedback systems, is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with IoT technologies such as MQTT, cloud dashboards, and over-the-air (OTA) updates is a plus.
- Competitive salary packages and an exemplary work environment are offered.

Please note that the selection process is highly competitive. Only candidates shortlisted for interviews will be contacted. We encourage applicants to submit their CV along with photos or files of PCBs they have designed to be considered for this opportunity.

We look forward to welcoming a dedicated professional who is passionate about electronics hardware engineering and eager to contribute to innovative industrial solutions.
