Senior Electronics Engineer

This is a broad hands-on senior role. You will take ownership of the electronics across architecture schematic and PCB design RF and cellular connectivity sensor integration power systems thermal performance and long-term reliability for products that live outdoors on streetlights in demanding conditions. The role deliberately extends beyond the PCB into the practical engineering that gets a product built well: test fixtures production software validation methods and manufacturing processes.

You will have significant influence over product architecture engineering standards design-for-manufacture and the reliability of hardware deployed at scale in the field.

It will suit an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines: reviewing a complex design one day debugging hardware in the lab the next working through enclosure and thermal trade-offs with mechanical engineers and resolving issues on the production line.

What you will do

• Own schematic capture PCB layout component selection design reviews and hardware release across digital mixed-signal power and RF sections balancing cost robustness DFM and DFT
• Bring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root-cause analysis
• Design and validate high-speed interfaces clocks memory cameras and other signal-integrity-sensitive circuits
• Drive EMC pre-compliance and formal compliance activities using test results to guide practical design improvements
• Advance cellular and wireless performance through antenna tuning placement matching grounding shielding and enclosure-aware RF design
• Integrate camera microphone environmental and radar sensors and validate their electrical and system-level performance
• Develop power supplies protection low-power behaviour and thermal performance for reliable outdoor operation
• Use CAD and 3D printing to develop enclosures mounts seals prototypes assembly aids and test jigs
• Manage component lifecycle availability alternates and obsolescence risk
• Build factory fixtures and automated workflows for programming functional test calibration RF checks traceability and reporting
• Write practical Python or C/C tools for test automation DFM and engineering analysis
• Partner directly with suppliers and manufacturers on production support yield optimisation and engineering change control

Qualifications :

• Strong electronics product-development experience spanning prototype verification and production
• Advanced schematic capture and PCB layout capability including RF-aware and mixed-signal design
• Hands-on EMC debugging and compliance experience and practical antenna or cellular modem integration experience
• Confidence with oscilloscopes spectrum analysers VNAs logic analysers and electronic loads
• Practical mechanical design skills and enough software ability to automate engineering and manufacturing tasks
• A methodical ownership-driven approach and the ability to collaborate across software hardware and manufacturing

Beneficial

• Connectivity and RF: LTE-M / NB-IoT LoRaWAN Wi-SUN Wi-Fi Bluetooth or GNSS
• Interfaces firmware and high-speed design: USB camera MIPI CSI buses digital audio embedded firmware or high-speed digital signal design
• Standards and compliance: RCM / CE / FCC / RED or Zhaga Book 18 / D4i
• Outdoor products and manufacturing: IP-rated or outdoor products PCBA production or yield improvement

Why join

• Genuine ownership from concept through to field deployment not a slice of someone elses design
• A complete real-world product spanning outdoor electronics embedded Linux edge AI wireless connectivity cloud services and manufacturing
• Hardware you design deployed on lighting infrastructure in cities worldwide through Schréders global reach
• The autonomy and pace of a small practical engineering team with the backing and stability of a global leader
• Hybrid working based in Sydney

If you want to own real hardware end to end and see it deployed at scale we would like to hear from you.
