You'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers and designers on a wide range of projects - from medical devices to consumer electronics. You'll encounter market-specific problems you never knew existed, and develop pragmatic, elegant solutions to solve them.

This role suits an adaptable all-rounder with strong electronics hardware design background and a good grasp of embedded software development. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy variety, and value autonomy over being pigeonholed, this might be the role for you.Key Responsibilities

• Proficiency in Embedded C and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
• Confident with embedded software debugging using standard tools
• Familiarity with common communications protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, UDP/TCP)
• Strong attention to detail and an awareness of the impact of design decisions
• Enthusiasm for technology, innovation, and product development
• Patience and persistence when things don't go to plan

*As this being a design-focused role, applicants will be required to show a portfolio of their past design and development work.

Bonus points if you have:

• Previous experience taking a project from concept to production (DfM/DfT)
• Medical, RF, or High-speed hardware design experience
• Hands-on skills (soldering, rework/reflow, test rig development)

Benefits
