Principal Hardware Engineer Qualification:Engineering graduate (Masters Degree  optional) Responsibility: Requirements Gathering and Analysis: a Participate in hardware requirement gathering workshops / sessions and support documentation wherever applicable. a Raise queries and seek resolution where unclear / ambiguous. review the technical aspect of documents and provide inputs / comments  as required. a Gather necessary design requirements and understand transformation requirements. Resource/ Efforts Estimation and Monitoring: a Understand how the estimation (effort  size etc) is done at task level in the area of work concerned. study non functional requirements and design. a Measure and report the actual effort against the estimated effort and track task progress reporting in C20 (or any other applicable tool). understand and leverage the estimation templates for new and on going projects. a Keep a close track on any changes to Requirements and  impact to cost and schedule. Design: a Leverage technology expertise to create the LL (low level) Design and detailed design document. review all deliverables created by the hardwrae designer. understand the Interdependencies of various circuits in a complete board design that is being developed. a Create detailed design. provide input to the Project Manager / Tech Lead for revision of the project plan from a technical perspective or creating of plan for sub modules of the project. a Provide support in development of proof of concept as designed by Designer / Hardware Architect. initiate development environment setup. a Provide design files to customer for early feedback. create quality check points for all deliverables. create design documents with the support of the hardware architects for the assigned scope. Testing: a Design a test jig to perform QTP (Qualification tets plan)and ATP (Acceptance test plan) based on the requirement. conduct comprehensive unit testing. a Prepare and support the preparation of unit test strategy. plan document and data requirements. automate unit testing and contribute to automation of unit testing with required hardware. a Conduct peer review of design. perform simulation by integrating all circuits of different modules. review test plan as prepared by the hardwrae designer. a Support all upstream and downstream hardware modules for integration and connectivity testing. Defect Management: a Participate in defect triage meetings. conduct RCA for design defects identified. Perform DFMEA analysis for all designs and provide ideas for solution in the designBased on circuit simulations analyse the design defects and correct in the design. Process Improvements and Adherence: a Participate in innovation sessions. implement process improvements to reduce manual intervention (eg automation). provide support for process audit activities. a Generate ideas to bring about any form of value add and share the same with Tech Lead. adhere to process and tools (usage of cognizant 20. awareness of quality management system  IDE etc). Knowledge Management: a Contribute towards updating knowledge assets  design ideas Tools for circuit analysis. a Conduct knowledge transfer sessions for new hires in the project team. conduct training through academy (if approved). a Guide and mentor team members from a technical perspective to ensure quality improvement. contribute to / search / reuse all types of assets from repository. People management: a Engage with the team. resolve / address conflict within the team. provide coaching to team members  and develop their capability. a Conduct internal trainings for developers within team.
