Job Description

Senior Electrical / Electronics Engineer

Sydney | Full-time | Onsite / Hybrid

The Mission

Own the hard electronics gap between prototype and product across 13 to 15 custom boards, high-speed compute, Jetson architecture, sensing, power and compliance.

The Challenge

• Designing and reviewing complex embedded PCBs across compute, sensing, power and robotics electronics
• Working with PCIe, Ethernet, Nvidia Jetson and other high-speed board-level constraints
• Taking prototype electronics toward manufacturable, testable and compliant product hardware
• Building EMC / EMI, intrinsic safety, protection and reliability thinking into design decisions early
• Reviewing schematics, layouts, BOMs and component choices before issues become field or production problems
• Creating practical verification, pre-compliance and production test plans that support real release decisions
• Working tightly with mechanical, firmware and manufacturing teams where board design, packaging and build reality collide
• This is senior IC work for someone who wants real ownership of complex hardware, not one small slice of a slower machine

The Bar

• Strong schematic and PCB design experience, ideally in Altium
• High-speed digital or compute-board experience, especially PCIe, Ethernet or similar
• Experience taking embedded electronics beyond R&D and into real products
• Practical EMC / EMI design judgement across layout, grounding, shielding, filtering and cabling
• Strong understanding of power distribution, switching regulators, mixed-signal design and protection
• Comfort reviewing others’ work and giving clear technical direction without turning it into theatre
• Manufacturing, test, compliance or certification exposure in hardware that had to survive real use
• Jetson's highly regarded. Intrinsic safety's highly regarded. Motor control's useful. Complex board ownership matters most

The Hire

Someone who has seen boards behave on the bench and misbehave everywhere else.

• You understand that the hard part is not just making the circuit work. It is making it work inside a compact robot with motors, batteries, sensors, cables, compliance expectations and manufacturing variance
• You are hands-on, senior enough to challenge assumptions, and still practical enough to move at startup pace

The "Why me?"

• The team has built impressive prototypes. The next stage needs senior electrical depth across complexity, review, scale-up and productisation
• This role exists to help the hardware become repeatable, compliant and reliable before the same problems scale

The "Why this?"

• Work across 13 to 15 custom boards, not one narrow subsystem
• Help shape the electrical function before it becomes rigid
• Influence how hardware moves from prototype into manufacture
• Stay close to real engineering trade-offs across compute, sensing, power, safety and mechanics
• Join a growing lab environment with proper electrical setup planned as the company scales
