• 4+ years of experience working with complex systems (automotive, avionics, railway also welcome).
• Strong Italian and English skills.
• Curiosity, drive, and a genuine desire to learn.

Core Skills

• Specific experience in analog and digital electronics development, and in the design of complex hardware systems, preferably within the Defence sector.
• Solid background in system engineering.
• Knowledge of MIL standards for military equipment design, industrial best-practice standards and IEC regulations.
• Understanding of technologies and processes associated with hardware development, aligned with design-to-cost, time-to-market and industrialization objectives.
• Ability to manage and investigate activities requiring cross-disciplinary knowledge.
• Strong predisposition for hardware development project management, including detailed planning.
• knowledge of requirements capture tools and architectural definition methodologies. Strong team working, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with international defence standards.
• Familiarity with MBSE tools (SysML, Cameo, Capella).

What We Offer

• Salary range: 48k€-58k€, based on experience.
• Permanent contract.
• Growth paths toward System Lead or Technical Specialist.
• A young, technical, collaborative environment.

Inclusion

We value diversity and promote it throughout the entire selection process.
