Leads end-to-end design and development of electronic hardware and embedded software products, taking them from concept through testing, certification, and transition to manufacturing. Core technologies: Altium/ECAD PCB design, C/C++ embedded programming, ARM Cortex/PIC microcontrollers, and lab debug equipment.
- Lead end-to-end research, design,
integration, and testing of new electronic hardware and embedded software
solutions, meeting international standards and regulatory requirements.
- Carry out hands-on hardware engineering in the laboratory, including prototype build, bring-up, measurement and debugging.
- Lead end-to-end research, design, integration and testing of new electronic hardware and embedded software solutions, meeting international standards and regulatory requirements.
- Drive design reviews and collaborate with cross-functional teams (R&D, manufacturing, quality, supply chain) and external partners to resolve design challenges.
- Prepare production data packs (drawings, BOMs, specifications) and support the transition of new designs into manufacturing.
- Develop and execute test plans to validate performance, safety and reliability, and drive products through qualification and certification.
- Troubleshoot and debug hardware and firmware issues, providing technical support across prototypes and existing products.
- Maintain clear technical documentation and act as a technical resource for Sales, Customer Support and Procurement.
- Stay ahead of emerging technologies, mentor junior engineers and drive continuous improvement.
- Provide hardware engineering design and support to the manufacturing facility, including all test jig design and development.
- Provide engineering support for automotive installations and proof of concept designs, including vehicle installations and visits to fitment centres.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering; a postgraduate qualification is advantageous.
- 5+ years’ experience in electronic hardware and embedded software design, with a track record of taking products from concept to production.
