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 proactive 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 initial schematics through to fully tested products in the field. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, detail-oriented, and experienced in both circuit and PCB design for robust, real-world applications.

Key Responsibilities
- Design circuits and multi-layer PCBs (2–4 layers) using tools such as KiCad or Altium, focusing on sensor interfaces, precision measurement, and microcontroller boards (ESP32 / STM32).
- Develop 12/24 V DC power stages incorporating surge protection, reverse-polarity safeguards, and fuses.
- Integrate various sensors and communication interfaces including UART, RS-485 / Modbus, I2C, SPI, and Wi-Fi.
- Design control panels for motors, pumps, and valves, incorporating relays, contactors, and overload protection mechanisms.
- Prototype, solder, test, and document hardware thoroughly, including schematics, Bills of Materials (BOMs), wiring diagrams, and test reports.
- Select appropriate IP65/IP67 rated 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 foundation in analog and power electronics principles.
- Experience with precision analog sensing, signal conditioning, and sensor calibration.
- Practical knowledge of designing for harsh outdoor environments, including considerations for temperature extremes, vibration, moisture, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
- Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters, and skilled in SMD soldering for device characterization.
- Understanding of safe AC switching and panel wiring standards.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
- Experience in robotics, particularly with motor drivers, encoders, and sensor feedback systems, is advantageous.
- Familiarity with IoT technologies including MQTT protocols, cloud dashboards, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware 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 selected for interviews will be contacted. We encourage applicants to prepare a detailed CV along with visual documentation of PCB designs to support their application.

We look forward to welcoming a skilled Electronics Hardware Engineer who is eager to contribute to innovative industrial solutions.
