Hardware Design Engineer

A Hardware Design Engineer PCBA & FPGA. He has to work for Acute Hardware Engineering team. The incumbent will be joining a team who is responsibility of developing creative solutions on challenging issues associated with the sustaining engineering medical devices & products. To support the core team in solving field issues/manufacturing issues by performing required analysis and testing as required, working towards the closure of SNCs(Supplier Notification for Changes), which involves doing RCA, finding/approving suitable alternate components to an existing electronic component by doing appropriate due diligence(technical/functional specifications comparisons and evaluation, laboratory bench testing etc).

• Develop PCB layout solutions for medical devices as per the requirements and standards that incorporate features such as world class multi-channel amplifier power, exclusive in-house FPGA/MCU algorithms and cutting-edge medical network interfaces.
• Lead PCB layouts reviews.
• Maintain PADS libraries.
• Keeping update on latest PCB material, layer construction, manufacturing guidelines and implementing into design, testing and validation as applicable.
• Electronic component selection and qualifications.
• Creating Engineering documentations that allows manufacturing of PCBAs, including schematics, BOM, assembly drawings, FAB specifications.
• If required, then need to work on ER documentation and release.
• Support Core team in finding/approving suitable alternate for an existing electronic component.
• Specification comparisons and analysis of alternate with existing electronic component and preparing Engineering report.
• Support core team by performing in-depth electrical engineering analysis and calculations.
• Support core team in troubleshooting and problem solving related to electrical aspects of the products and prepare engineering report for the same.
• Develops and maintains an effective and corroborative working relationship with the team.
• Have knowledge on the Change control process and management of Baxter to support the team as and when required.

Testing:

• Follow instructions and Test protocols with limited guidance from Design engineers during Test execution.
• Support/Own developing and Executing Test Procedures/Functional Requirements testing/Performance testing.
• Perform board bring up and electrical design verification.
• Diagnose, find root cause/Interact with core team to resolve board level design issues.
• Follow QMS, ensure good documentation practices.
• Works with external test houses (such as EMI, EMC tests for electrical boards and full device) to define the test scope, author the test plans, test procedures, execute & consolidate the reports.
• Experience in IEC basic safety, EMI-EMC standards testing.
