Electronics Engineer

About Us

At Basis, we're not just building a company — we're building the future. We're redesigning the electrical systems that power our homes to fight climate change, reduce household costs, and create a better future for generations to come. That means rethinking everything, not just what we build, but how we build it.

To do this, we need incredible people. People who are bold, creative, sharp, and thoughtful. People who care. People who move fast and think differently. That's where you come in.

The Role

This role exists to drive the electronics design and development of our next generation smart panel platform. Based in Auckland to support close collaboration with our hardware team, you'll play a key part in shaping the panel's core electronics - from early design decisions through to hands-on testing of prototypes. As an Electronics Engineer at Basis, you'll bring both technical experience and initiative, helping the team make critical trade-offs and move the project forward with confidence.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include :

• Develop and own aspects of the core electronic systems that power our smart panel platform, driving functionality, communication, and connectivity
• Design and validate high-performance power electronics for both mains-powered and extra low voltage (ELV) applications, ensuring optimal efficiency and safety.
• Champion the seamless integration of our hardware with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), defining the electronic solutions that enable next-generation energy management.
• Take full ownership of the electronics lifecycle, from initial specification and circuit design through to successful mass production.
• Support with technical decision making, guiding design decisions and elevating the team's capabilities in modern electronics development.
• Partner with mechanical engineers, embedded software developers, and manufacturing teams to bring designs from prototype to production.
• Translate system architecture into detailed circuit and PCB designs for core components, including high-density power supplies, digital control logic, and communication interfaces.
• Execute rigorous circuit simulation (e.g., SPICE), tolerance analysis, and comprehensive validation testing to guarantee design robustness and performance under all operating conditions.
• Integrate international safety and EMC standards (UL, IEC, CE) into the design process from the ground up, ensuring a clear and efficient path to product certification.
• Be involved in prototyping, testing and continuous improvement initiatives including failure analysis, debugging, and relevant documentation.

About You

We think you'll be a fit for this role if you have the following skills / or traits :

Some nice to haves include :

Research shows that while men apply for jobs when they meet ~ 60% of the job criteria, women and other marginalised groups tend to apply only when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but are not sure you check every box, we still want to hear from you
