Electronics Design Engineer
Role Overview
As an Electronics Design Engineer within our Hardware Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) prototypes for cutting-edge robotic applications. You will take ownership across the entire lifecycle of our hardware designs, spanning initial concept, specification, schematic capture, component selection, simulation, prototyping, verification, debugging, and ongoing product support.
Working in our Athens R&D centre, you will tackle complex engineering challenges while driving continuous design improvements through root cause failure analysis and safety evaluations. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams - including software, firmware, mechanical, integration, and testing engineers—to ensure our hardware solutions seamlessly integrate into state-of-the-art automated logistics platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and test custom PCB prototypes and electronic hardware solutions in line with project specifications.
Perform analog electronic circuit simulations using SPICE software to evaluate system performance.
Conduct schematic capture, component selection, prototyping, verification, and debugging activities.
Execute constraint-driven, high-frequency, and low-noise multi-layer PCB layout designs.
Perform root cause analysis on hardware failures, present detailed findings, and optimize existing PCB designs.
Verify design performance and functionality using standard laboratory instrumentation and custom test setups.
Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to quantify the reliability and safety levels of hardware functions.
Formulate comprehensive test plans to validate electronic hardware against design requirements.
Execute hands-on PCB rework to support hardware testing, prototyping, and failure diagnostics.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software, firmware, mechanical, integration, and testing teams.
What We’re Looking For
Essential
Degree (Bachelor’s, Diploma, or MSc/MEng) in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
Proven PCB design experience using industry-standard CAD tools (such as Altium, Cadence, Mentor, KiCad, or Eagle).
Solid understanding of analog and digital electronics fundamentals.
Proficiency in using analog electronic circuit simulation software (e.g., SPICE).
Familiarity with standard laboratory test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, signal analysers).
Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
Strong collaborative mindset with a communicative, team-oriented approach.
Nice to Haves
Practical experience with hand soldering and manual PCB rework techniques.
