Automotive / Automotive Electronics Job Summary We are looking for an

Engineer – ECU Hardware Design & Validation

with 2–3 years of experience in automotive electronics and ECU hardware validation. The candidate will be responsible for hardware validation, circuit analysis, PCB debugging, failure analysis, and supporting ECU development activities. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience with laboratory test equipment, good understanding of electronic circuits, and the ability to troubleshoot hardware issues systematically. Key Responsibilities Perform

hardware validation and testing

of automotive ECUs as per defined test plans and specifications. Analyze ECU hardware circuits and support design verification activities. Use laboratory instruments such as

oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and function/signal generators

for hardware testing and debugging. Perform

power supply testing , including voltage, current, ripple, transient, and load-condition checks. Support

PCB bring-up, debugging, and troubleshooting . Analyze hardware failures and perform

root-cause analysis . Support identification, reproduction, and resolution of hardware issues during validation. Prepare and execute hardware validation test cases and document test results. Support

environmental and reliability testing

of ECU hardware. Work closely with hardware design, embedded software, systems, and validation teams to resolve technical issues. Review test results and prepare validation reports and technical documentation. Support continuous improvement of ECU hardware validation and testing processes. Must-Have Skills 2–3 years of experience in

ECU hardware validation/testing . Good understanding of

analog and digital electronic circuits . Hands-on experience with

oscilloscopes and other electronic test instruments . Basic understanding of

PCB design, layout, and debugging . Experience in

hardware troubleshooting and failure analysis . Knowledge of power supply testing and measurement techniques. Ability to read and understand

schematics and circuit diagrams . Good analytical and problem-solving skills. Understanding of automotive ECU development and validation processes. Good-to-Have Skills Exposure to automotive ECU development and testing. Knowledge of

automotive communication interfaces such as CAN/LIN . Exposure to

EMC/EMI testing . Knowledge of environmental testing such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and thermal cycling. Familiarity with automotive standards such as

ISO 26262, ISO 16750, and CISPR . Experience with test documentation, validation reports, and defect-tracking tools. Educational Qualification Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, or a related engineering discipline. Key Competencies ECU Hardware Validation Circuit Analysis Oscilloscope & Laboratory Instrumentation PCB Debugging Hardware Troubleshooting Failure / Root-Cause Analysis Power Supply Testing Environmental Testing Test Documentation Cross-functional Collaboration Interview Focus Areas Candidates should be prepared to discuss: How do you validate a newly designed ECU? What instruments do you use during hardware validation? Explain a hardware failure you diagnosed and how you identified the root cause. What is the difference between

verification and validation ? How do you conduct environmental testing? What challenges have you faced during PCB debugging? Explain different

power supply testing methodologies . Which

automotive standards

are you familiar with and how have you applied them? Experience:
