• Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Systems Engineering, or similar, with 3+ years of industrial engineering experience.
• Strong electronics background, including analogue/digital systems, design, testing, troubleshooting, fault-finding, and product support.
• Knowledge of technologies such as FPGA, RFID, sensors, power electronics, embedded systems, as well as EMC, product safety, compliance, and design verification.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, communication, and project management skills, with the ability to work cross‑functionally and manage multiple priorities.
• Desirable: experience with manufacturing/DfM, global supply chains, OrCAD, Python/C++/LabVIEW, automated testing, plus strong hands‑on capability, commercial awareness, and a continuous‑improvement mindset.
