• You bring 4+ years of hands-on experience in hardware development and software integration, from component selection and PCB design to microcontroller
• You have a deep understanding of EMC principles and know how to troubleshoot EMI issues both in design and on the bench
• You’ve worked with PCB layout tools and 3D CAD, and have a practical eye for clean, testable designs
• You’re confident with lab equipment (multimeters, scopes, spectrum analyzers, near-field probes) and use them to diagnose and debug with purpose
• You’re experienced in commissioning systems, debugging boards, and ensuring they survive real-world use
• You’re familiar with hardware-in-the-loop and environmental testing, and understand how designs fail in the wild
• You speak fluent English ; German is a strong plus
• Most importantly, you’re structured, fast-moving, and mission-driven. You don’t wait for perfection. You iterate until it works. You love building things that last.
