Work hands-on with HW architecture, component selections, schematics, layout, measurements and design verification.

Help structure HW tasks and support project planning and risk management. Keep technical documentation and HW deliverables in good shape. Work closely with mechanics, embedded software, testing, sourcing, production and other project stakeholders. Spot things that could work better – tools, methods, practices – and make them happen. What you'll bring: Relevant technical degree (B.Sc. or M.Sc.). Strong experience in electronics design. System-level thinking and experience from complex product development projects. Solid schematics and layout skills with modern EDA tools (e.g. Altium Designer). Hands-on experience in HW troubleshooting, measurements and design verification. Experience with low-power, wireless or compact embedded devices is a big plus. Experience in simulation SWs and ability to adapt state of the art working methods to ensure efficient product development and high product quality. Understanding of design for manufacturability, testability, reliability and cost. Experience leading a technical sub-team and driving change. Understanding of compliance, EMC, ESD or other electronics-related standards. Good written and spoken English skills. What you'll get: You will build products that end up in buildings all over the world and ease the everyday lives of our customers. You will have real responsibility and freedom to operate without big corporation bureaucracy. We ensure you’ll have room to grow professionally in a fast-growing international company.
