// Role Specification

We are seeking a highly capable Electronic Systems Engineer to lead and support the system-level design, equipment breakdown, and interconnection of complex electronic systems.

The opportunity:

We're looking for a systems-focused electronics engineer who thrives on turning complex functional requirements into fully integrated hardware solutions, from early concept through to production and deployment. In this role, you'll take ownership of system-level electronic design, defining architectures, flowing down requirements, and breaking down equipment and subsystems into clearly defined functions, interfaces, and responsibilities.

You'll shape how everything connects, managing interconnects between subsystems and external equipment, and producing high-quality system schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface control documentation that form the backbone of robust, reliable designs.

Collaboration is at the heart of this position. You'll work closely with mechanical, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration, guiding designs through validation, acceptance testing, and into operational use. From hands-on system integration and root cause analysis to ensuring compliance with safety, EMC, and regulatory standards, you'll play a key role in delivering dependable electronic equipment solutions.

What we're looking for from you:

  • Ideally a Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Strong experience in system-level electronic design and integration.
  • Proven ability to define equipment architectures, interconnects, and interfaces.
