Job summary

Schréder Australia seeks a Senior Electronics Engineer to shape next‑gen outdoor edge‑AI sensors for smart street lighting. You will own electronics architecture, schematic and PCB design, RF and cellular connectivity, sensor integration and power/thermal performance for harsh outdoor conditions.

You will work across hardware and software, develop test fixtures, production software and manufacturing processes, collaborating with mechanical engineers to optimize enclosure, thermal and reliability

Qualifications

• Strong electronics product‑development experience spanning prototype, verification and production.
• Advanced schematic capture and PCB layout capability, including RF‑aware and mixed‑signal design.
• Hands‑on EMC debugging and compliance experience, and practical antenna or cellular modem integration experience.
• A methodical, ownership‑driven approach and the ability to collaborate across software, hardware and manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Own schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews and hardware release across digital, mixed‑signal, power and RF sections, balancing cost, robustness, DFM and DFT
• Bring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root‑cause analysis
• Design and validate high‑speed interfaces, clocks, memory, cameras and other signal‑integrity‑sensitive circuits
• Drive EMC pre‑compliance and formal compliance activities, using test results to guide practical design improvements
• Advance cellular and wireless performance through antenna tuning, placement, matching, grounding, shielding and enclosure‑aware RF design
• Integrate camera, microphone, environmental and radar sensors, and validate their electrical and system‑level performance
• Develop power supplies, protection, low‑power behaviour and thermal performance for reliable outdoor operation
• Use CAD and 3D printing to develop enclosures, mounts, seals, prototypes, assembly aids and test jigs
• Manage component lifecycle, availability, alternates and obsolescence risk
• Build factory fixtures and automated workflows for programming, functional test, calibration, RF checks, traceability and reporting
• Write practical Python or C/C++ tools for test automation, DFM and engineering analysis
• Partner directly with suppliers and manufacturers on production support, yield optimisation and engineering change control
