What we’re looking for

Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or equivalent industry experience)
Strong experience developing test solutions for electronics and PCBAs
Experience with NPI / NPD and transferring products into manufacturing
Solid understanding of manufacturing requirements and production environments
Ability to work with automatic test equipment (ATE) and electronic instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.)
Software skills in C++, C#, and/or Python with the ability to read and adapt existing code
Experience working with subcontract manufacturers and external suppliers
Confident communicator able to lead technical discussions across disciplines
Comfortable working in a hands‑on workshop and office manufacturing environment

What you can expect

A role with real ownership and impact across NPI and production
Exposure to products used globally
