Technical Lead -Embedded Hardware Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and design of ADAS modules (radar, camera and sensor-fusion ECUs) against OEM requirements and vehicle-level specifications.
• Design schematics and hardware for automotive-grade ECUs and sensor modules, and guide PCB layout and bring-up.
• Translate OEM requirements into technical specifications using design input sheets and House of Quality (HOQ / QFD).
• Create and maintain system design documentation, software architecture and traceability to OEM requirements.
• Review embedded software on Linux-based platforms (Python / C++) and ensures code quality, integration and adherence to automotive process standards.
• Conduct DFMEA and drive risk mitigation in line with ISO 26262 functional safety and ASPICE practices.
• Plan and lead system verification and validation (V&V), including HIL/SIL, bench, vehicle-level and field testing, through to OEM sign-off.
• Prepare E-BOMs and cost models for OEM RFQs; optimize component selection for cost, availability, AEC-Q qualification and long-term supply.
• Manage the product through APQP / PPAP and the product lifecycle using PLM, including change management, revision control and obsolescence planning.
• Support OEM and Tier-1 customers in design reviews, milestone gates and issue resolution.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (software, mechanical, testing, quality, procurement, manufacturing) to meet program timelines.
• Lead and mentor a team of 35 engineers and support technical decision-making.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech (M.Tech preferred) in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 6–8 years of experience in embedded/electronics product development, with at least 3 years in ADAS or automotive programs (OEM or Tier-1).
• Mandatory: hands-on experience with Radar (integration, data processing, and validation).
• Hands-on expertise in automotive electronics hardware design and schematic development.
• Working knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN / CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, LIN).
• Strong knowledge of component selection and E-BOM preparation.
• Working knowledge of DFMEA, HOQ, and design input sheets.
• Working knowledge of ISO 26262, ASPICE, and the automotive V-model development lifecycle.
• Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and product management.
• Experience leading a small team or work stream and delivering at least one product from design to production.
• Knowledge of AUTOSAR, ISO 21434 (cybersecurity), AEC-Q standards, and homologation requirements (e.g., AIS / ECE).
• Experience with HIL/SIL setups and vehicle data logging and analysis tools.
