Design circuit schematics and PCB layouts for CCTV cameras, NVRs/DVRs, and related IoT surveillance hardware.
Select appropriate electronic components, including image sensors, ISPs, SoCs, power management ICs, connectors, IR LEDs, and wireless communication modules, based on performance, cost, and availability.
Develop and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), schematics, PCB layout files, and technical design documentation.
Ensure hardware designs meet performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability requirements.

Assemble and bring up hardware prototypes, identifying and resolving issues related to power systems, signal integrity, and electromagnetic interference.
Conduct functional, stress, and reliability testing in collaboration with the Test and Validation team.
Use laboratory equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers to diagnose hardware issues.
Validate hardware performance and implement design improvements based on test results.

Collaborate with production and Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) teams to optimize designs for manufacturability and testability (DFM/DFT).
Support pilot production runs, New Product Introduction (NPI), and troubleshooting of hardware issues encountered during manufacturing.
Prepare Gerber files, assembly drawings, inspection procedures, and test documentation for production handover.
Work toward improving manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and production reliability.

Coordinate with firmware and embedded systems teams to ensure seamless hardware-firmware integration and successful product bring-up.
Collaborate with vendors and component suppliers on sourcing, component qualification, and evaluation of alternative components.
Support R&D initiatives involving new product development and continuous improvement of existing hardware.
Work with quality control and production teams to investigate failures and implement corrective actions.

Support product certification activities, including BIS, CE, FCC, and other applicable standards.
Ensure hardware designs comply with relevant electrical safety, EMI/EMC, and regulatory requirements.
Maintain design history files, test reports, revision records, and other technical documents to support audits and product traceability.
