Job description
We are looking for a practical, hands-on Electronics Engineer to join our growing hardware team in Barcelona for systems that require robust, high-performance embedded electronics - built from scratch and validated through deep iteration. This is a lab-heavy, tool-in-hand role for someone who enjoys not just designing boards but getting them to work in the real world - probing signals, fixing layout issues, replacing components under a microscope, and rapidly iterating designs. What You´ll Be Doing:
- Own PCB designs from schematic to layout to bench validation for real-time embedded control systems (MCUs, drivers, sensors)
- Build, rework, and debug prototype boards - including soldering, hot-air reflow, and patch wiring for last-minute changes
- Systematically investigate and solve board-level issues using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and signal generators
- Collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams to bring up systems and integrate electronics into functional prototypes
- Prepare BOMs, layout notes, and clearly documented test reports
- Validate electronics in the context of complex systems - identify electrical issues, fix them, and document learnings
- Support in-house prototype assembly and iterate quickly between board versions
- Provide design-for-debug input and improve testability of production boards
Requirements
-
A degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent practical experience
-
2-4 years of industry experience working on embedded hardware designs
-
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Eagle preferred)
-
Comfort and confidence with hands-on rework: soldering 0603 passives, reflowing fine-pitch ICs, or patching traces on a prototype board
-
Experience testing microcontroller-based systems and common interfaces like SPI, I2C, UART, USB
-
Ability to identify and fix signal integrity or power-related issues using test equipment
-
Basic understanding of embedded firmware flows - able to flash and interact with firmware during bring-up
-
A willingness to iterate, debug, and get hardware into a working, testable state What We Value additionally:
-
Experience with ARM Cortex microcontrollers
-
Knowledge of EMI/EMC practices, protection circuitry, or certification prep
-
Experience working on motor control, sensor integration, or Ethernet hardware
-
Exposure to test automation or scripting for board validation You Will Fit Great If:
-
You are a natural problem solver and thinker - comfortable probing unknown circuits and figuring things out
-
You get satisfaction from making hardware work - and even more when you fix something that didn't
-
You thrive in environments where prototypes evolve weekly and no two board spins are alike
-
You believe hardware development is not done until it works on the bench and in the proto not just in CAD
Benefits & conditions
- Competitive salary
- Excellent location near Barcelona, in a very inspiring office
- Professional development and career advancement opportunities in a fast growing new company with unique technology
- A truly open-minded and supportive work environment with a high level of employee empowerment
- Flexible working hours
- Free snacks, fruits, coffee and tea
