• Create and update schematics and contribute to PCB layout design
• Support design verification and testing to ensure requirements are met
• Assist in analysing issues and contributing to technical solutions
• Ensure design, test, and issue documentation is maintained in line with internal processes
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and test teams to deliver integrated product solutions
• Support transition to production, including assisting with failure analysis
• Support existing products through sustaining and lifecycle activities

You will require good communication skills, a proactive approach to problem solving, and the flexibility to contribute effectively in a fast-paced development environment., * Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline

• Experience in hardware/electronics engineering
• Experience contributing to product development lifecycle activities
• Ability to manage assigned tasks across multiple projects, * Analogue and digital circuit design fundamentals
• Schematic capture and exposure to PCB layout (Altium preferred)
• Prototype bring-up and basic design verification
• Use of standard lab equipment:
• Oscilloscope
• Spectrum analyser
• Signal generator
• Ability to contribute to:
• Test procedures
• Design documentation
• Experience interfacing with sensors and basic embedded hardware

Desirable Experience

• Industrial or utility product development exposure
• Understanding of:
• Embedded systems or microcontrollers
• Communication interfaces (RS485, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, etc.)
• Data acquisition and sensor interfacing
• Awareness of compliance and testing (e.g. EMC, environmental)
• Exposure to system-level hardware platforms (e.g. SOMs, processor interfaces)
