Senior Electronics Development Engineer (m/f/d)

Job Overview

This position is a senior electronics development role within the Product Development Engineering team. The engineer (m/f/d) develops and validates analog, digital, power and high-voltage electronics, power and control PCBs, and microcontroller-based products from concept through production release. Small embedded programming tasks complement the electronics scope where needed for product functions, hardware bring-up, diagnostics or interfaces. The role also provides the system-level overview required to integrate complex electronic products safely and reliably into their application environment.

Job Requirements

Electronics & PCB Development - Primary Focus

• Develop analog, digital and power-electronic circuits as well as power and control PCB solutions for intelligent electronic products
• Derive electronics and hardware requirements from customer, product and system requirements and translate them into robust circuit concepts
• Create and maintain schematics and PCB designs, preferably using Altium Designer, including component selection, calculations, interface definitions and design documentation
• Develop and integrate power stages, sensing, protection, diagnostics, communication interfaces and microcontroller peripherals
• Design and review PCB layouts with focus on high-current paths, current density, thermal behavior, EMC/EMI, creepage and clearance, insulation coordination and design robustness
• Develop electronics and PCB solutions for low-voltage and high-voltage applications, including switching, protection, monitoring and controlled discharge functions
• Perform circuit and thermal simulations using suitable tools such as LTspice and execute initial commissioning, laboratory measurements, design verification and root-cause analysis
• Coordinate prototype fabrication, component qualification, supplier clarification, validation, design for manufacturing, test concepts, production introduction and technical release

• Implement small and clearly bounded embedded functions in C where directly connected to the electronic product
• Typical examples include simple device-control or diagnostic logic, hardware bring-up support, communication handling, measurement functions or a small standalone firmware project
• Adapt microcontroller configuration, input/output behavior and simple interfaces required to validate or operate the electronics
• Perform basic debugging and functional verification and provide proportionate source-code documentation and test evidence
• The role does not own complex software platforms, large software projects or overall software architecture

• Maintain the technical overview of complex electronic systems, including electrical architecture, power paths, connected loads, control and protection functions, communication and application interfaces
• Clarify relevant system, electronics and interface requirements and ensure consistency across the assigned technical scope
• Define and review electrical interfaces, operating concepts, diagnostics, communication behavior, protection strategies and integration concepts
• Understand product interactions and dependencies within the surrounding application system
• Ensure traceability between requirements, electronics design, product functions, verification and validation evidence
• Contribute to system reviews, technical risk assessments, integration planning and validation strategy without acting as the overall system architect

• University degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a comparable technical field.
• At least 7 years of relevant experience in electronics development, schematic and PCB design, validation or system integration for industrial or transportation products
• Demonstrated hands-on experience developing and validating multidisciplinary electronic products
• Experience owning technically demanding work packages or subprojects across multiple engineering disciplines
• Strong practical knowledge of analog and digital electronics, power-electronics fundamentals, microcontroller-based designs, schematic development and PCB design
• Experience with schematic and PCB design tools, preferably Altium Designer, and simulation tools such as LTspice or comparable applications
• Knowledge of PCB quality standards, clearance and creepage calculations, EMC considerations, thermal simulation and current-density analysis
• Experience with high-voltage electronic systems (>=60 V DC), including insulation coordination, creepage and clearance design, HV protection concepts and validation; experience with applications up to 1000 V DC is a strong advantage
• Basic knowledge of Functional Safety according to ISO 26262, including hardware development considerations, DFMEA, HW-FMEDA and safety-related design reviews, is an advantage
• Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment, electronics validation, debugging, root-cause analysis and design-for-manufacturing
• Experience with electronics requirements, technical specifications, component qualification, validation planning and development documentation
• Basic embedded C programming skills for small, product-related firmware tasks; knowledge of CAN, LIN, SPI or comparable interfaces is an advantage
• Very good English skills; German is an advantage. Willingness to travel occasionally to TE locations, customers and suppliers
