Hardware Engineer
to join our Product Development department.
You will design and develop reliable, cost-effective electronics solutions that meet system, safety, manufacturability, and customer requirements throughout the full product development lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
- Define electronics functionality, requirements, and concepts based on system and customer needs.
- Ensure compliance with standards, safety, reliability, and cost targets.
- Perform risk, reliability, and redundancy analyses (FMEA, FTA).
- Design schematics, PCB layouts, wiring, and connections for mass production.
- Select components and conduct simulations, testing, and validation activities.
- Support manufacturability, testing, and production documentation (DFM/DFT).
- Maintain electronics documentation, test specifications, and technical reports.
- Drive product improvements based on testing, customer feedback, and industry trends.
- Define end-of-line production test requirements for modules and systems.
- Occasionally support customer-facing technical discussions to clarify requirements.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Embedded Systems.
- 2+ years’ experience in electronics design for series production products.
- Hands-on experience with industrialization, DFM/DFT, and production testing.
- Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Strong skills in schematic design, PCB layout, simulation, prototyping, and testing.
Proficiency with Altium Designer or similar ECAD tools.
- Experience with LTspice, Matlab, or similar simulation tools.
- Good reporting, basic data analysis, and MS Office skills.
- Strong English communication skills.
- Detail-oriented, proactive, and solution-driven mindset.
Nice to have:
- Background in battery management systems, power electronics, or other energy-storage electronics.
- Experience in industrial or automotive electronics, or other high-reliability/regulated hardware environments.
- A genuine hands-on electronics background - personal projects, tinkering, or a long-standing interest in electronics alongside your professional experience.
