Electronics Engineer

Company Description

Design the hardware that makes streetlights smart

Schréder is a leading provider of global lighting solutions, serving customers across the commercial, industrial and public sectors. With a strong focus on innovation, technology and sustainability, we are dedicated to delivering comprehensive solutions and exceptional customer service.

EdgeMachines is our edge-AI sensing division, and it is where lighting infrastructure becomes intelligent. We build compact, low-power sensors that turn ordinary streetlights into a privacy-first, real-time data network. Mounted on infrastructure cities already own, our sensors read traffic, parking, air quality, noise and crowd movement, and process every bit of it directly on the device, so raw data never leaves the street. This is smart-city sensing without the bandwidth, the cost or the privacy trade-offs, already deployed in cities across Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

We are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to help shape the next generation of these outdoor edge-AI products, from early concept through to production.

Job Description

This is a broad, hands-on senior role. You will take ownership of the electronics across architecture, schematic and PCB design, RF and cellular connectivity, sensor integration, power systems, thermal performance and long-term reliability, for products that live outdoors on streetlights in demanding conditions. The role deliberately extends beyond the PCB into the practical engineering that gets a product built well: test fixtures, production software, validation methods and manufacturing processes.

You will have significant influence over product architecture, engineering standards, design-for-manufacture, and the reliability of hardware deployed at scale in the field.

It will suit an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines: reviewing a complex design one day, debugging hardware in the lab the next, working through enclosure and thermal trade-offs with mechanical engineers, and resolving issues on the production line.

What you will do

• Own schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews and hardware release across digital, mixed-signal, power and RF sections, balancing cost, robustness, DFM and DFT
• Bring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root-cause analysis
