About Yotuh Energy

Yotuh Energy is a climate-tech startup building electric refrigeration systems for commercial logistics vehicles. Our technology enables businesses to transport temperature-sensitive goods more efficiently while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

We are expanding rapidly across sectors including dairy, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive supply chains.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Electronics Hardware Engineer to help build the electronic core of India's first electric refrigeration units for cold logistics. You'll own hardware from architecture to production - microcontrollers, power electronics, sensors, batteries, and communication systems - designed to survive the harshest, most demanding conditions on the road.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and architect electronic systems spanning microcontrollers, power electronics, sensors, batteries, IoT devices, and HMIs.
• Make the core architecture calls, microcontroller selection, power supply design, PCB layout, signal integrity, communication protocols, EMC/EMI handling, and protection circuitry.
• Build hardware for power distribution, sensing, actuator interfacing, and control systems that meet strict reliability and safety bars.
• Work closely with Embedded Software, Controls, and Refrigeration teams to turn product behavior into hardware reality.
• Take ownership from requirements capture through schematic design, using tools like Altium Designer.
• Prototype, test, debug, and refine hardware through multiple iterations.
• Lead the transition from working prototype to scaled, manufacturable production.
• Set system-level engineering goals and timelines, and drive them to completion.

What We're Looking For

Core Skills

• 0 - 4 years of hands-on experience with ARM-based microcontrollers, preferably STM32.
• Working knowledge of communication protocols like UART, CAN, RS232, USB, and Ethernet.
• Solid grasp of core components - MOSFETs, diodes, capacitors, inductors, regulators, and protection circuits.
• Practical experience with schematic design, PCB layout, and hardware debugging.
• Awareness of DFX principles (DFM, DFA, etc.).
• A builder's mindset, comfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and the pace of an early-stage startup.

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to FMEA, fail-safe, and fault-tolerant design practices.
• Experience with EMI/EMC design, testing, and mitigation.
• Familiarity with automotive or reliability standards such as ISO 16750, AIS-004, or MIL-STD.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Master's degree is a plus.

Why Join Yotuh Energy?

• Work directly with founders and senior leadership.
• Build hardware for a category that doesn't exist in India yet and define how it's done.
• Contribute to solutions that impact food security, healthcare logistics, and sustainability at scale.
• High ownership, steep learning curve, real growth as the company scales.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and impact.
