• A relevant higher education degree in Electrical, Electronics or Automation Engineering, or a related field.
• Approximately 3-5 years of electrical and/or electronics hardware design experience, using professional electrical or electronic schematic design tools (e.g. PADS, Xpedition or EPLAN) and developing system‑level electrical interfaces. More experienced applicants are also welcome.
• Hands‑on experience with production testing systems through testing, integration, maintenance or troubleshooting.
• Practical experience with electrical measurements, test instruments and systematic hardware troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with relevant design standards, electrical safety, technical documentation and design revisions.
• An independent, adaptable and hands‑on working style, strong collaboration skills and good English communication skills.
