Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer to join our engineering team as a consultant, bringing deep expertise in analog and digital circuit design to support the development of advanced electronic systems. In this role, you will play a key part in turning innovative concepts into functional, reliable, and high-performance hardware—from early prototyping to product realization.

You’ll work within multidisciplinary teams to define, design, and validate complex electronic circuits for high-speed, low-noise, and precision applications. If you\'re passionate about pushing the boundaries of electronic design and thrive in fast-moving, technically challenging environments—this is your opportunity to make a high-impact contribution.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop complex analog and digital electronic circuits for high-performance systems, including low-noise, high-frequency, and high-speed applications.
• Create detailed schematics, PCB layouts, and design specifications, ensuring compliance with signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC requirements.
• Support the full hardware development lifecycle—from concept and prototyping to validation and transfer to manufacturing.
• Perform circuit simulation, analysis, and verification to ensure performance, reliability, and robustness under real-world conditions.
• Collaborate with mechanical, software, systems, and RF engineers to ensure seamless integration of electronic subsystems.
• Lead or contribute to prototype builds, testing, and debugging, using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.
• Apply design for excellence (DfX) principles—including DfM, DfT, and thermal management—to ensure manufacturability and long-term reliability.
• Support requirements definition, risk assessments (FMEA), and verification planning in regulated or high-reliability environments.
• Contribute to power supply design, connectivity modules (wired/wireless), and mixed-signal embedded systems.
• Provide technical input for exploratory projects, rapid prototyping, and early-stage innovation initiatives.
• Document designs thoroughly and maintain traceability in PLM or documentation systems.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices in electronic design and validation.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 8 years of professional experience in advanced analog and digital circuit design.
• Proven expertise in:
• Low-noise amplifier, filter, and sensor interface design
• High-speed digital circuits (e.g., DDR, SerDes, processors, FPGAs)
• Power management (linear and switching regulators, battery systems)
• Mixed-signal PCB design and layout principles
• Strong hands-on mentality with a proactive, solution-driven approach and a relentless focus on quality and performance.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools—preferably Mentor Xpedition (or equivalent like Altium, Cadence).
• Familiarity with signal and power integrity analysis, thermal modeling, and EMC design practices.
• Proficient in using test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary, international teams.

Preferred Attributes

• Experience in RF electronics design and EMC/EMI troubleshooting.
• Background in medical devices, industrial systems, or other regulated environments.
• Proven success in consulting, interim, or fast-paced innovation projects.
• Understanding of IoT architectures, wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee), or embedded firmware interfaces.
