The environment is highly technical, innovation-driven, and focused on safety-critical solutions that impact global aviation systems. This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerospace technologies while working alongside highly skilled engineering experts.

• Lead end-to-end hardware development lifecycle activities, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, validation, and product support.
• Design digital electronic circuits and perform schematic capture and Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) development for complex systems.
• Work extensively with high-speed interfaces and bus technologies such as Ethernet, I2C, USB, LVDS, SERDES, and DDR memory interfaces.
• Conduct signal integrity, timing analysis, and system-level testing to ensure performance and reliability under defined standards.
• Execute and support environmental and compliance testing aligned with standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461.
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting using advanced engineering lab equipment to resolve hardware issues efficiently.
• Apply Design for Cost (DTC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Design for Test (DFT) principles to optimize product lifecycle performance.
• Ensure traceability of requirements, testability, and compliance across all stages of hardware development.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including systems, manufacturing, and validation engineering to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and explore embedded system integration opportunities where applicable.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field.
• Minimum 9+ years of experience in hardware development lifecycle, preferably in complex embedded or avionics systems.
• Strong expertise in digital electronics design, schematic capture, and PCB/CCA development.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces including Ethernet, USB, LVDS, SERDES, I2C, and DDR1/2/3 memory systems.
• Solid understanding of signal integrity, timing analysis, and hardware validation techniques.
• Experience in environmental and regulatory testing standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461.
• Proficiency in troubleshooting hardware using lab instruments and engineering test setups.
• Strong knowledge of DFM, DFT, and cost-optimized design methodologies.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Ability to manage complex technical challenges independently while collaborating in cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in high-stakes, safety-critical engineering environments.
• Embedded systems experience is considered a strong advantage.

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience and industry standards
• Comprehensive group health insurance coverage
• Group term life insurance and personal accident insurance
• Meal coupons and additional allowances
• 18 days of annual vacation plus 12 days of contingency leave
• Employee scholar programme for continuous learning and development
• Work-life balance support and flexible collaboration models (onsite/hybrid depending on role)
• Car lease programme and fuel/maintenance allowances
• National Pension Scheme (NPS) and LTA benefits
• Opportunity to work on advanced aerospace and defense technologies in a global engineering environment
