Hardware Engineer (Senior Level)

If you are an enthusiastic professional interested in being part of a fast-growing company with strong engineering and research culture we are looking for a passionate Hardware Engineer to join our team and help us build the next generation of electronic products for automotive connectivity and computing platforms.

Disruptive mobility tech companies like Technica are driving the changes in electronics architecture that the industry needs to accelerate the arrival of the software-defined vehicle (SDV) era and in this context our ability to deliver rapid prototyping hardware products is more critical than ever.

Technica is a product-oriented company that continuously reinvest to stay ahead of the curve and our interdisciplinary team is focused on the development of company own products roadmap and on innovative R&D electronics development projects with major customers.

Were looking for someone with at least 5 years of hands-on hardware development experience who wants to take real ownership of technical challenges and grow within a highly multidisciplinary environment.

We value people who are curious to dig deep into how our hardware products work and are comfortable navigating complex electronic designs. Someone who is self-driven takes initiative and is not afraid to explore unfamiliar problems challenge assumptions or step beyond the boundaries of the role when needed. Just as importantly we are looking for a strong team player who works closely with the development team and helps move topics forward.
