About the opportunity

We are looking for two engineers to join our team with two new roles in both Hardware and Firmware.

These are hands-on, technically challenging roles where you'll leverage your specialised skills to work through multiple, simultaneous, complex and unique product design and development situations, while contributing to cutting-edge R&D projects, and coach the next generation of engineers.

As a Hardware Engineer, you'll use your expertise to handle complex product design and development, support advanced R&D projects, and oversee the entire product lifecycle.

From concept to delivery.

You'll focus on design quality, compliance, and delivering reliable, cost-effective hardware systems.

As a Firmware Engineer, you'll lead complex projects at the intersection of firmware, power electronics, and off-highway charging solutions, collaborating closely across disciplines and guiding design from concept to launch.

You'll help build smart, efficient, and robust charging systems for world-class products.

About you

You're curious, collaborative, and excited by the challenge of solving real-world problems through technology.

You thrive in a hands-on environment, enjoy working across disciplines, and bring a systems-level mindset to your work.

Your strengths may lie in hardware, firmware, or a blend :

4+ years proven experience in hardware and / or embedded firmware development across full development product lifecycles

A Power electronics background, including experience with Buck-Boost, Flyback, SEPIC / Cuk, DAB and LLC.

Deep understanding of SMPS topologies, PCB layout for power, and EMI / EMC design

Familiarity with testing tools (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, power meters)

Experience in designing for manufacture, compliance, and maintainability

Strong commercial acumen and analytical problem-solving skills

A degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering (or equivalent training)

Whether your expertise lies in hardware, firmware, or a blend of both, you'll be part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and the pursuit of practical, elegant engineering solutions.
