We’re seeking an Electronic Engineer (or Embedded Software/Hardware Engineer) to join our agile, product-focused team. This is a unique cross-functional role for someone mid-stage in their engineering career (5+ years of experience), who thrives at the intersection of software and hardware. You’ll work on the development of next-generation smart IoT play and fitness products, from firmware through to physical integration.
Key Responsibilities
• Collaborate with the design team to bring interactive features to life in a compact, real-world product, and provide technical solutions that bridge creative ideas with functional embedded systems.
• Define , Design and Develop system architecture including microcontroller unit selection, power management, sensor integration, and communication protocols.
• Design and prototype analog and digital circuits suitable for compact, battery-powered embedded systems.
• Develop custom PCB layouts optimised for physical form factor, cost, manufacturability, and signal integrity.
• Perform schematic capture, layout, and documentation using tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle.
• Prototype and test physical hardware integrations (e.g., sensors, Bluetooth modules, power systems), ensuring functionality in live, real-world scenarios.
• Build and evaluate hardware prototypes, validate performance, and iterate rapidly based on user feedback.
• Work closely with industrial designers to ensure electronics fit within mechanical constraints.
• Collaborate with software/app developers to align embedded behaviors with external interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth, audio feedback).
• Communicate technical insights clearly across teams, including non-engineering stakeholders.
What We’re Looking For
• Experience working in R&D environment with end to end production
• Experience working on interactive devices, consumer electronics, robotics, wearables, or gaming hardware is a strong plus.
• 5 years of relevant engineering experience, ideally in a product-driven environment.
