Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced Lead Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of electronic hardware design across a suite of complex industrial products. This includes architecture definition, circuit design, PCB layout oversight, prototyping, testing, and guiding engineers in the delivery of high‑quality, reliable electronics for real‑time embedded systems.
The role is highly technical and best suited to someone who enjoys leading design decisions, solving complex hardware challenges, and working closely with embedded software, mechanical engineering, and systems engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
Electronics Architecture & Technical Leadership
- Own the electronics architecture for new and existing product lines.
- Lead schematic design, block diagrams, and system‑level hardware architecture.
- Provide technical direction to electronics engineers and collaborate with cross‑functional teams.
- Drive design reviews, documentation, and engineering best practices.
Circuit Design & Development
- Design analogue and digital circuits for sensing, control, power sequencing, and communication.
- Develop robust electronics that interface with embedded processors, sensors, motor drives, and power systems.
- Specify components, evaluate alternatives, and design for manufacturability, testability, and longevity.
PCB Design Oversight
- Lead PCB layout definition and constraints (signal integrity, EMC, thermal, spacing).
- Work with internal or external PCB designers to ensure high‑quality layouts.
- Validate prototypes and support the full bring‑up process.
Testing, Verification & Compliance
- Perform hands‑on debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, spectrum analysers, etc.
- Lead EMC/EMI test planning, root‑cause investigations, and compliance improvements.
- Ensure designs meet safety and industrial standards (CE, UL, IEC, ISO depending on product).
Collaboration & Mentoring
- Work closely with embedded software teams to deliver tightly integrated hardware/firmware solutions.
- Mentor junior and mid‑level hardware engineers.
- Contribute to technology roadmaps and long‑term hardware strategy.
