Electronics Engineer - Bryanston

SUMMARY:
The Electronics Engineer role is responsible for designing, installing, integrating, testing and commissioning third-party on-board ITS equipment on public transport vehicles and related field infrastructure (e.g. BRT stations and route equipment). The role ensures that all on-board devices integrate correctly with  back-end ITS systems via the required communication protocols and interfaces with the bus electronic systems, and that the full solution is operational, reliable, and compliant with client requirements.

POSITION INFO:
Working under the general direction with minimal guidance from the Operations Manager, the Electronics Engineer will work collaboratively as part of a cross-functional team and undertake the following responsibilities: Customer-facing technical delivery - Engage directly with public sector clients, operators, vehicle suppliers and field teams to define on-board equipment requirements, installation constraints, and acceptance criteria. - Provide technical guidance during implementation and support project stakeholders through testing and commissioning phases. On-board ITS integration (core focus) - Design and deliver the on-board integration of third-party ITS devices with the vehicle electrical and electronic environment (bus electronics, power, interfaces, mounting constraints). - Source, evaluate and recommend suitable third-party ITS devices (e.g., cameras, speakers, vehicle units, communication devices, sensors) and prepare technical specifications for procurement. - Ensure the third-party devices integrate with the back-end control centre using the required communication protocols and data interfaces. - Support configuration and commissioning of on-board ITS devices, including firmware setup, parameter configuration and software tools required to make devices operational. - Perform firmware\/software validation testing on third-party devices to ensure compatibility with on-board and back-end systems. - Use diagnostic utilities and logs to troubleshoot device communication issues, including interface errors between third-party equipment, vehicle electronics, and back-office systems. - Assist with software version control and upgrade planning for on-board devices (firmware releases, patching, rollback planning, and stability verification). Testing, commissioning and operational readiness - Perform integration testing and commissioning of on-board equipment and ensure the complete system is operational end-to-end. - Test provided bus software in combination with installed third-party devices to validate correct behaviour, performance and stability in the live vehicle environment. - Conduct on-site inspections of installation activities and verify workmanship and compliance with project requirements. Field infrastructure installation (BRT stations \/ route equipment) - Design and oversee the installation of field equipment such as cameras, speakers and other ITS infrastructure at BRT stations and along the route. - Design and\/or specify brackets, mounting solutions and installation layouts to ensure safe, secure and maintainable installations in public environments. Standards, documentation and quality - Ensure installation, maintenance and operations conform to applicable standards and customer requirements by preparing electrical\/electronic specifications and technical drawings. - Maintain documentation for installation, wiring, testing, commissioning, and operational handover. - Coordinate and support quality assurance requirements across stakeholders. Training and collaboration - Support skills transfer and training of client technical teams, project staff and technicians as required. - Work with a variety of technicians, installers and contracted staff to ensure delivery success. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Electrical\/Electronic Engineering (or closely related field). - 4+ years relevant experience in engineering delivery, including installation and commissioning of electronic systems (transportation systems experience is advantageous). - Proven experience with installation of electrical\/electronic equipment on vehicles. - Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals (power, wiring, signal integrity, connectors, grounding, protection) - Experience working with embedded systems, on-board firmware, and device configuration\/diagnostic tools in a transport, automotive, CCTV, telematics, or industrial electronics environ. - Highly computer literate Comfortable working across both hardware and software domains, including firmware-level troubleshooting and field diagnostic Should you not receive a response within 10 working days, please consider your application as unsuccessful
