Job description

Your PCBs will ride on streetlights in cities around the world.

Our Schréder EdgeMachines builds the edge-AI sensors that turn ordinary street lighting into a privacy-first data network, reading traffic, parking, air quality, noise and crowd movement, and processing all of it on the device so no raw footage ever leaves. Our technology powers Schréder SENSE ONE, already live in more than 20 cities across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We are part of Schréder, a global leader in lighting solutions across the commercial, industrial and public sectors.

Now we are hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer in Sydney to design the next generation of that hardware, from concept to production.

This is a broad, hands-on role. You will own the electronics end to end: architecture, schematic and PCB (digital, mixed-signal, power and RF), cellular and antenna design, EMC and compliance, camera and sensor integration, and power and thermal for harsh outdoor life, plus the DFM, test fixtures and production workflows that get it built at scale. One day you are reviewing a design, the next you are debugging in the lab or solving a yield issue on the line.

What you will bring:

• Strong electronics product development across prototype, verification and production
• Advanced schematic capture and PCB layout, including RF-aware and mixed-signal design
• Hands-on EMC debugging and compliance, plus antenna or cellular modem integration
• Fluency with oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, VNAs and logic analysers
• Practical mechanical design, and enough Python or C/C++ to automate test and manufacturing
• A methodical, ownership-driven approach, and a habit of collaborating across hardware, software and manufacturing

Nice to have:

• outdoor or IP-rated products
• LTE-M/NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GNSS
• Embedded firmware, MIPI CSI
• PCBA production, or yield improvement

Why you will want this:

• Genuine concept-to-field ownership in a small, sharp team, backed by a global company
• Real next-gen technology, edge AI and multi-sensor hardware, deployed in the real world
• Work that ships to cities worldwide through Schréder's lighting infrastructure
• Hybrid, Sydney-based
