Job description

Who We Are

SPEA is a world leader in automatic test equipment for semiconductors and electronic boards. For 50 years, we have been developing technologies that guarantee the quality and reliability of electronic products used every day worldwide—from aerospace and telecommunications to automotive, medical, and consumer devices. Joining our team means working in a multidisciplinary environment where software, mechanics, and electronics converge to create the most advanced testing systems on the market. We are looking for a Product Engineer to join our R&D Hardware team. You will be responsible for the end-to-end design and management of complex electronic testing systems, with a strong focus on the Hardware architecture of our testers.

What You Will Do

You will be responsible for the end-to-end hardware development of our testers, including the design of cables, motherboards, and electronic service boards that provide critical signals for the testing systems. Using professional tools such as AutoCAD, OrCAD, and Mentor, you will create detailed electrical schematics and electromechanical layouts. Working within the R&D department, you will define the hardware architecture of the service instruments, ensuring they meet the high-performance standards required by SPEA testers. You will act as a key technical point of contact for other internal departments, ensuring that hardware solutions are optimized for production and system integration. You will perform hardware debugging and validation on the designed components to ensure signal integrity and reliability.

Who We Are Looking For

Master’s Degree in Electronic or Mechatronic Engineering. We are looking for a Junior profile (September start) with a strong passion for hardware design. Proficiency in drafting electrical schematics and layouts. Hands‑on experience or academic knowledge of Mentor, OrCAD, and AutoCAD is essential. You will handle the design of cables, motherboards, and electronic service boards. No software programming skills are required; we are looking for a "pure hardware" specialist. Ability to manage technical documentation and ensure that hardware components (service signals, power distribution) meet the highest quality standards. A proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in an R&D environment and is ready to take ownership of existing and new hardware projects. Good command of the English language for technical specs and internal documentation.

What We Offer

An innovative and cutting-edge environment, working with technologies developed entirely in-house. The opportunity to manage complex, stimulating projects in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. An international context with high-profile global customers and partners. Continuous professional growth in a highly technological and expanding industry.
