You take a hardware requirement and independently turn it into a robust, manufacturable PCB assembly, spot problems early, and keep projects moving without waiting for direction. This is a hands-on individual contributor role. Most importantly, you enjoy designing hardware yourself and seeing it ship. You report into our CTO organization. Bring-up, rework, and close work with mechanical, firmware, and production happen hands-on in our Munich office, so we expect you on site most days of the week. ### Responsibilities - Own electronic hardware designs from requirements to manufacturing release, including schematics and design reviews - Select components based on performance, availability, lifecycle, cost, and manufacturability - Place and route multilayer boards, and define stack-ups, design rules, controlled-impedance requirements, and layout constraints - Review designs for manufacturability, reliability, EMC, signal and power integrity, and thermal behavior where relevant - Design with certification in mind: support EMC and radio (CE/RED) pre-compliance and certification testing with external labs, and feed the findings back into the design - Create and maintain schematic symbols, footprints, padstacks, and ECAD libraries - Define and maintain electrical, physical, and manufacturing design rule sets - Keep engineering data clean: design documentation, revision history, and versioning that let anyone pick up a design later and improve it - Improve engineering workflows and automate repetitive tasks where it pays off - Generate, review, and release manufacturing outputs and technical documentation - Work directly with PCB fabrication and PCBA assembly partners on stack-ups, fabrication constraints, assembly guidelines, and production requirements - Review BOMs and qualify alternative components based on availability, lifecycle, and technical requirements, together with Operations - Make sure designs scale from prototype runs to serial production volumes - Bring up, debug, and validate boards, including burn-in testing, soldering, and rework - Work closely with mechanical and embedded firmware engineers through design, integration, and bring-up - Reproduce and qualify hardware issues from production and the field so they get fixed at the root cause - Handle sensitive and export-controlled design data in line with our dual-use export control requirements ### Requirements ### Must Have - 5+ years of professional experience in electronic hardware and PCB development - Degree in electrical engineering, electronics, or a comparable technical foundation - A track record of independently taking PCBs from schematic to manufacturing release: boards you designed that went into production - Strong schematic design and component selection skills, working confidently from datasheets - Strong PCB layout skills on multilayer and high-density boards, including blind and buried vias, built on a solid understanding of grounding, power distribution, differential interfaces, controlled impedance, and high-speed design - Practical understanding of PCB fabrication and PCBA assembly, including direct work with manufacturers on stack-ups, fabrication rules, assembly requirements, and production issues - Hands-on lab skills: board bring-up, debugging, lab equipment, soldering, and rework - Strong experience in at least one professional ECAD environment, such as Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, Siemens Xpedition, or comparable. - Ownership mindset: you drive designs forward without continuous supervision, and an undocumented design change is a problem for you, not a shortcut - Fluent English (German is a plus) - Willingness to undergo security vetting where projects require it - Based in Munich or willing to relocate - Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, which our existing products are built on - Experience with BOM management or component lifecycle tools - RF and wireless electronics or communication systems, the core of what we build - Ethernet and high-speed digital interfaces, power electronics, or embedded systems - EMC/EMI-conscious design and experience taking products through EMC and radio certification (CE/RED) - Electronics for robotics, UAVs, or other ruggedized systems, ideally in defense, aerospace, or another regulated environment - Connector selection, wiring harness, and pinout definition - Scripting or engineering automation --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
