The successful candidate will be employed as a Hardware Engineer, with responsibilities including (but not limited to):

• Design, development, implementation, and verification of electronic systems and subsystems, including analogue and digital components.
• Participating in both high-level system architecture discussions and detailed low-level design, including component selection, schematic capture, and PCB layout.
• Delivering all technical outputs for engineering projects, including documentation, testing artefacts, and design specifications.
• Supporting the implementation of formal engineering processes, standards, and policies relevant to hardware development.
• Assisting in production-related tasks such as procurement, supplier coordination, assembly and testing at both SRU and LRU levels, environmental stress screening, and qualification procedures.
• Performing support functions within the broader engineering team as required.

Minimum Qualifications:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering (BSc Eng / BEng or equivalent).

Required Skills and Experience:

• Proficiency in electronic circuit design (both analogue and digital).
• Experience in PCB design using tools such as Altium Designer.

Recommended (Advantageous) Skills and Experience:

• 2–3 years of relevant post-graduate or industry experience.
• Familiarity with high-speed digital design, including PCIe, SATA, and Gigabit Ethernet.
• Experience in FPGA design and VHDL.
• A Master’s degree in Electrical & Electronic or Mechatronic Engineering (MSc Eng / MEng).

Personal and Professional Attributes:

• Quick learner with strong technical curiosity and the ability to absorb new information rapidly.
• Team-oriented with the ability to contribute meaningfully to collaborative projects.
• Self-driven and capable of working independently.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal).

This position offers a rare opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge engineering that impacts real-world systems across high-performance domains. Candidates who thrive in structured environments, enjoy technical challenges, and are committed to excellence are encouraged to apply.
