Job description

Our Electronics Engineering team designs hardware for smart camera platforms, IoT devices, and edge storage solutions. We specialize in low- and medium-power electronics, building circuit solutions and detailed power models to minimize power draw in battery-operated and energy-sensitive devices. We design and build our own high-precision measurement tools, run thorough testing at every development stage, and maintain strong peer-review standards across the team.

Job Summary

We are looking for a Lead Electronics Engineerto serve as the senior technical authority for hardware across the organization. In this role, you will define hardware architecture, guide component selection, and oversee complex mixed-signal, analog, and digital boards from early concept through mass production.

A key focus of this role will be actively participating in building and scaling our modern hardware engineering lab in Wrocław, shaping its testing infrastructure, equipment roadmap, and verification capabilities. You will also set engineering standards for DFM and DFT, establish hardware verification processes, and mentor mid-level and senior engineers. Working closely with Firmware, Mechanical Engineering, and Product teams, you will ensure our hardware designs meet quality, cost, and timeline requirements.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Serve as the main hardware reference point across projects; mentor engineers, review schematics and layouts, and help resolve technical disagreements within the team.
• Define hardware architecture for new products, select key components, and balance performance, cost, thermal constraints, and part availability.
• Design and review complex multi-layer PCBs in Altium Designer, ensuring proper Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and EMC/EMI performance.
• Develop power supplies (DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery management systems) and precision analog circuits (low-noise op-amps, sensor front-ends, ADCs).
• Play an active role in scaling our modern electronics lab in Wrocław, selecting measurement gear, designing test benches, and introducing automated hardware test setups. Perform hands-on lab measurements, manage complex hardware debugging escalations, and drive pre-compliance testing.
• Work directly with Firmware, Mechanical, and QA teams on board bring-up and mechanical fitting. Apply strict DFM/DFT guidelines, resolve manufacturing issues with vendors, and prepare designs for CE, FCC, and UL certification

Qualifications and skills

• Degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with 8+ years of commercial hardware development experience, including 2+ years leading projects or technical teams.
• Hands-on experience with low- and medium-power electronics, battery management, high-speed digital interfaces (LVDS, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C), and analog circuitry.
• Strong, practical experience with Altium Designer for multi-layer, high-density (HDI) board design and library management.
• Direct experience designing for EMC/EMI compliance and taking products through formal certification (CE, FCC, UL).
• Practical experience working with advanced lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers) and interest in setting up lab workflows.
• Solid understanding of microcontroller architectures and ability to use C/C++ or basic scripting for board bring-up and validation.
• Proven ability to manage technical debt, set design guidelines, and keep hardware deliverables on schedule.
• Upper-Intermediate (B2+) English for technical discussions, documentation, and coordination with international vendors and cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

• Experience setting up or expanding electronics testing laboratories or manufacturing test lines.
  Experience using Python or LabVIEW for automated hardware test setups.
• Basic knowledge of RF design or integration of standard wireless modules (Wi-Fi, BLE, Cellular).
• Familiarity with FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL) or digital signal processing (DSP).
• Practical experience managing thermal constraints in compact enclosures.

We offer multiple benefits that include

• The environment of equal opportunities, transparent and value-based corporate culture, and an individual approach to each team member
• Competitive salary packages with performance-based annual reviews.
• Opportunity to receive a Performance Bonus for your individual achievements and a Loyalty Bonus recognizing your dedication to the company.
• Employment via Contract of Employment (UoP) in complete alignment with Polish Labour Law.
• Guaranteed paid vacation, public holidays, and medical leaves as per statutory regulations.
• Continuous growth and development opportunities through internal knowledge hubs, corporate courses, and free English classes
• Comprehensive private medical insurance to supplement your standard NFZ coverage.
