Role Description
This is a full-time role for an
Embedded
Electronics Engineer
based on-site in Kassel. You will take responsibility for the complete hardware design flow—from component selection and system architecture participation to schematic design, PCB layout, and prototyping. Day-to-day tasks include selecting components under strict constraints (extreme low power, size, environmental requirements), producing high-readability schematics in Altium, and creating multilayer PCB layouts. You will also be hands-on with prototype assembly (SMD soldering, reflow oven, board bring-up) and collaborate closely with embedded software, mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration into our bio-robotic platforms.
