Job description

Electronics Research & Development Engineer

Belenos Clean Power Holding AG is a spin-off of the Swatch Group AG. Our goal is to pave the way for the industrialization of a new type of high energy density Lithium ion battery, which offers an optimal balance between safety, cost, performance and sustainability.

We are currently looking for an Electronics Research & Development Engineer to join our R&D team.

In this role, you will contribute to innovative research and development projects, combining your technical expertise, industrial experience and knowledge of electrochemistry.

You will be involved in the entire development process, from initial calculations and system design to hardware, firmware and software development, prototyping, testing and final implementation.

Your Responsibilities

Design and develop electronic systems integrating precision measurements and power control on a single board.

Develop and optimize LED lighting solutions for optical charging applications, including optical and thermal simulations prior to prototyping.

Design communication architectures enabling multiple microcontrollers to interact efficiently over a shared bus.

Develop robust and reliable electronic systems designed for long-term operation in production environments.

Implement FPGA-based solutions to synchronize measurement channels and manage parallel control processes.

Design and develop automated cycling systems for climatic chamber testing, covering the complete data acquisition chain, from high-speed measurements and database storage to data analysis and reporting.

Design and dimension solutions in power electronics, battery-powered measurement systems and embedded Linux applications.

Profile

You hold a degree in Electronics Engineering, Microengineering, Physics, or a related technical field.

You are equally comfortable working with an oscilloscope, developing Python scripts, and designing complex multilayer PCBs.

You demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, approaching technical challenges with precision and a solid engineering mindset.

You are passionate about turning innovative ideas into practical, functional solutions and seeing your designs come to life.

Professional requirements

You have knowledge of microcontrollers, System-on-Module (SoM), System-on-Board (SoB), FPGA, C/C++, Python, VHDL, KiCad, SPICE and Embedded Linux.

Languages

Good command of French and English; knowledge of German would be an asset.
