Job Description

Electronics Engineer at VitalFluid Build the electronics behind a technology that's changing agriculture. Ten machines next year. Many more after that. At VitalFluid, we use plasma technology to help farmers grow food without chemicals. Our machines are already deployed in real agricultural environments, and we are scaling up quickly. The challenge now is not whether the technology works. It does. The challenge is building the next generation of electronics that makes it more reliable, more scalable and easier to manufacture. That's where you come in. At VitalFluid, you'll work on the control electronics that sit at the heart of our plasma systems. You'll redesign aging hardware, develop new PCB architectures and help shape the electrical future of a machine platform that is evolving rapidly. Not in a huge corporate where you're responsible for a single board or small subsystem. Here, you'll influence the complete electrical architecture. Your role You'll work on the control electronics that sit at the heart of our machines. You'll redesign aging hardware, develop new PCB architectures and help shape the electrical future of a machine platform that is evolving. Not in a huge corporate where you're responsible for a single board or small subsystem. Here, you'll influence the complete electrical architecture by: Designing and improving PCBs for control systems, interfaces, and machine electronics; Validating schematics, layouts, and component selections with manufacturability and reliability in mind; Working on power electronics and electrical subsystems that support VitalFluid's plasma technology; Investigating alternative components to improve availability, reduce costs, and eliminate single-source risks; Collaborating with embedded software engineers on microcontroller integration and communication interfaces; Defining test procedures and validating designs before they move into production; Troubleshooting electrical issues on prototypes and deployed systems. Contributing to a more modular and scalable machine architecture Who we’re looking for We're looking for an experienced electronics engineer who enjoys solving practical engineering challenges. You're somebody who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and enjoys turning complex technical challenges into robust solutions. You probably bring: Around 5+ years of experience in electronics development; Strong PCB design experience, from schematic to layout; Experience with microcontrollers and industrial communication interfaces; A structured engineering mindset and the confidence to work independently; Experience with compliance, EMC or industrial environments is a plus; Exposure to power electronics or high-voltage systems is welcome, but not essential. Why VitalFluid We are building technology that helps growers reduce their dependence on chemical crop protection. That's a meaningful challenge. But for engineers, the attraction goes even deeper. You'll join a team that combines scientific innovation with practical engineering. The technology is already working in the real world. Now we're making it scalable. And you'll have a major say in how that happens. Let’s talk Interested? Apply now or send your CV and any questions to [email protected].

Core Responsibilities

Design and improve PCBs, control electronics, and electrical subsystems for plasma technology machines, while shaping a modular and scalable electrical architecture. Validate designs for reliability and manufacturability, investigate component alternatives, collaborate on microcontroller integration, define tests, and troubleshoot prototypes and deployed systems.

Requirements

The role seeks an electronics engineer with around five or more years of electronics development experience and strong PCB design skills from schematic through layout. Candidates should have experience with microcontrollers and industrial communication interfaces, work independently, and bring a structured engineering approach; EMC, compliance, industrial environments, power electronics, or high-voltage experience are advantageous.
