Minimum 8 years of experience in hardware design, with a strong focus on high-power electronics and medical devices. Demonstrated experience designing hardware for safety-critical applications in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. Working knowledge of defibrillators, electrocautery systems, or X-ray systems will be a distinct advantage. Experience in people management and team handlinSkills & CompetenciesStrong foundation in circuit theory, electrical engineering principles, and mixed-signal circuit design. Hands-on expertise in high-power electronics — DC-DC converters, SMPS, MOSFET and IGBT-based designs, and high-voltage component selection. Proficiency in signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC design concepts. Experience designing firmware for microcontroller interfaces. Familiarity with EDA tools such as Cadence, Altium, PSpice, OrCAD, and Mentor Graphics. Proficient with standard test instruments including DSOs, multimeters, and power supplies. Strong understanding of product reliability and performance characterisation.Proven ability to guide and mentor PCB and hardware design teams.Why This Role MattersThis is a high-impact, hands on role for someone who is ready to take full ownership of high-power electronics.You will take end-to-end ownership of high-power hardware design for a life-critical medical device, with significant technical and leadership accountability. The role offers deep specialisation in a niche and highly valued domain — high-power electronics within regulated medical device development. You will work across the full hardware development lifecycle — from requirements and design through compliance, validation, and manufacturing transfer. You will have the opportunity to mentor and shape a team of engineers, directly influencing technical standards and engineering culture. Your work will contribute to devices deployed in emergency and critical care settings, where the quality and reliability of your designs has a direct and meaningful impact on patient outcomes.Location - Bangalore
