e. Perform board level simulations for thermal, circuit analysis, EMI/EMC analysis.
f. Develop understanding of the applicable standards for the components being developed (IEC, IEEE, AIS, BIS etc.) and apply to the designs.
g. Implement corrective actions based on self-evaluation, feedback from testing and integration teams.
h. Perform section-wise testing and board bring-up activities on the hardware
i. Design for Life (durable component)
2. Prototyping and Testing: -
a. Provide support during prototype evaluation, debugging and help in troubleshooting.
b. Assist in the creation of prototypes and conduct testing to validate design concepts
c. Analyze test data and refine designs based on test results
d. Support certification and compliance testing processes.
3. Collaboration: -
a. Collaborate with other teams and stakeholders to understand system requirements and define detailed technical requirements
b. Collaborate with other teams to come up development timelines for responsible hardware development
c. Collaborate with other teams for meeting vehicle level requirements and support vehicle integration activities
d. Collaborate with other teams to aid in enclosure design, define thermal requirements, component placement etc.
4. Documentation and Reporting: -
a. Ensure proper documentation of schematics design, PCB layout, BOM, Cost Analysis and design specifications.
b. Maintain a comprehensive test case matrix to track completion of functional requirements of the components.
c. Prepare thorough test reports and maintain detailed reports for component developed
