Key Responsibilities: Hardware Design & Development
Design and develop TDR hardware including pulse generation circuits, high‑speed analog front ends, sampling circuits, and signal conditioning stages
Design PCB layouts for high‑frequency, low‑noise TDR circuits using tools such as Altium Designer, or Cadence
Select and evaluate components including ADCs, DACs, op‑amps, FPGAs, and microcontrollers suitable for TDR applications
Develop impedance matching networks and transmission line interfaces for various cable types (coax, twisted pair, MV power cables)
Design power supply and protection circuitry compliant with safety and EMC standards
Signal Processing & Firmware
Collaborate with firmware/embedded engineers to develop DSP algorithms for TDR waveform acquisition, averaging, and fault‑distance calculation
Define requirements for FPGA or microcontroller‑based acquisition systems
Develop calibration routines and compensation algorithms to ensure measurement accuracy across temperature and load conditions
Contribute to real‑time signal processing pipeline design for sub‑nanosecond pulse resolution
Prototyping & Validation
Build and test hardware prototypes in the lab — hands‑on bench work with oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
Conduct design verification testing (DVT) and design validation testing (DVT) across full environmental and electrical specifications
Perform EMC pre‑compliance testing and support formal EMC/EMI certification
Validate TDR accuracy against reference cables and known fault conditions
Support field trials on renewable energy sites to validate performance under real‑world conditions
Standards & Documentation
Ensure designs comply with relevant standards including IEC 61010, IEC 61000 (EMC), and ISO 9001 quality requirements
Produce detailed design documentation including schematics, BOMs, design rationale, and test reports
Maintain version‑controlled design files and contribute to IP/patent documentation where applicable
Work closely with software, firmware, mechanical, and product management teams in an agile development environment
Engage with customers and field engineers to gather requirements and validate designs against real‑world needs
Stay current with advances in TDR technology, high‑speed analog design, and renewable energy diagnostics
Contribute to patent filings and technical publications where appropriate
The Skills You Bring:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline
5+ years of experience in analog/mixed‑signal hardware design, ideally in instrumentation or test & measurement
Strong proficiency in PCB design — schematic capture and layout using Altium Designer, or equivalent
Solid understanding of high‑speed analog circuit design — signal integrity, transmission line theory, impedance matching
Hands‑on experience with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators
Familiarity with TDR principles — pulse generation, reflection analysis, fault‑distance calculation
Experience writing or reviewing hardware test plans and design verification reports
Nice to Have:
Direct experience designing TDR, OTDR, or reflectometry‑based instrumentation
FPGA design experience (Xilinx / Intel) for high‑speed data acquisition
Knowledge of cable types used in renewable energy — DC string cables, MV AC feeders, armored underground cables
EMC design experience and familiarity with IEC 61000 / FCC Part 15 test processes
Experience with SPICE simulation tools (LTspice, or similar)
Familiarity with IEC 61010 safety standard for electrical test & measurement equipment
Exposure to ISO 9001 or IEC 62443 (industrial cybersecurity for instrumentation)
Master's degree or PhD in relevant electronics/instrumentation field
