The role requires practical experience in designing sensor interface circuits, signal conditioning modules, power management circuits, communication interfaces and embedded electronics.
The candidate will work towards developing a modular and scalable electronics assembly process for Plumule's industrial IoT products.
3. Key Responsibilities
A. Electronic Circuit Design
Design analog and digital electronic circuits for industrial applications.
Develop 4–20 mA current loop interface and signal conditioning circuits.
Design circuits for RTD, thermocouple, voltage and current-based sensor interfaces.
Develop signal isolation, amplification, filtering and protection circuits.
Design DC-DC converters, voltage regulators and power management circuits.
Design interfaces for industrial sensors and communication modules.
Understand datasheets and select appropriate electronic components.
B. PCB Design and Development
Create schematic diagrams and PCB layouts using KiCad, Altium Designer or equivalent tools.
Design single-layer, double-layer and multilayer PCBs.
Perform component footprint selection, routing, grounding and power-plane design.
Ensure EMI/EMC considerations, electrical isolation and industrial noise immunity.
Generate Gerber, BOM, Pick-and-Place and fabrication files.
Coordinate with PCB fabrication vendors and manage design revisions.
C. Electronic Circuit Assembly
Assemble electronic circuits and PCB modules using through-hole and SMD components.
Perform soldering, desoldering, rework and component replacement.
Work with soldering stations, hot-air rework stations and basic assembly equipment.
Integrate electronic modules, connectors, terminal blocks, sensors and communication devices.
Develop standardised assembly procedures and work instructions.
Support prototype development and small-batch production.
D. Testing and Quality Assurance
Test assembled PCBs for electrical continuity, short circuits and component functionality.
Perform voltage, current, signal and power measurements.
Use digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators and bench power supplies.
Troubleshoot hardware faults and identify root causes.
Conduct functional testing and burn-in testing wherever required.
Maintain test reports, inspection records and product traceability.
E. Embedded Electronics and IoT Integration
Integrate ESP32, STM32 and other microcontroller-based platforms.
Interface electronic circuits with LoRaWAN communication modules.
Integrate industrial sensors with wireless IoT nodes.
Understand UART, SPI, I2C, RS485, Modbus RTU and MQTT interfaces.
Support firmware testing and hardware-software integration.
Assist in developing compact, modular and field-deployable IoT devices.
