About Niqo Robotics

Niqo Robotics is a Bangalore based Agri-tech company focused on AI, Computer Vision and Robotics, revolutionizing the way farming is undertaken in India and the world. Through our robots we aim to provide smart and sustainable solutions to maximize farmer profitability whilst minimizing the ill effects of excessive chemical spraying on the environment.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Hardware Design Engineer to join our innovative engineering team. As a Hardware Design Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the design, analysis, and implementation of analog, digital and power circuitry for our cutting-edge products.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and analyse analog, digital and power circuitry for our products, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and power efficiency
  • Understand and apply SOC/CPU/GPU architecture principles to guide hardware design decisions
  • Select appropriate SOC/CPU/GPU components based on project requirements and specifications
  • Design high-speed digital systems, considering signal integrity, noise reduction, and power distribution
  • Develop a robust and reliable cable harnessing system to meet automotive and agricultural environments
  • Conduct antenna selection and system interface design for wireless communication capabilities
  • Implement impedance matching techniques to optimize signal transfer and minimize reflections
  • Perform RF tuning and testing to ensure optimal wireless performance and compliance with wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, and GNSS
  • Select and configure microcontrollers, microprocessors, and DSPs, considering target performance, power consumption, and system requirements
  • Design and validate driver circuits for various loads such as relays, solenoid valves and LED arrays
  • Demonstrate proficiency in low-speed and high-speed serial and parallel communication protocols such as RS232, RS485, UART, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, MIPI, PCIe, DDR and CAN
  • Collaborate with PCB layout designers and board fabricators to create well-organized and manufacturable PCB layouts
  • Conduct signal integrity analysis to identify and mitigate potential issues related to noise, crosstalk, and impedance mismatches
  • Profile the system power consumption and create a power tree to better understand and hence optimise the system’s power consumption
  • Optimise component selection across sub-modules to achieve target product costs, reliability and performance
  • Create designs keeping in mind concepts such as DFM and DFA

Qualifications/Capabilities:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's degree preferred)
  • Proven experience in analog, digital and power circuit design and analysis
  • Strong understanding of SOC/CPU/GPU architecture and its application in hardware design
  • Experience with high-speed digital system design and signal integrity analysis
  • Familiarity with antenna selection, RF tuning, and wireless communication protocols
  • Proficiency in selecting and configuring microcontrollers, microprocessors, and DSPs
  • Knowledge of serial communication protocols (RS232, RS485, UART, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, PCIe and CAN)
  • Experience in PCB layout design and signal integrity analysis
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot hardware-related issues and establish RCA
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in cross-functional teams
