Lead our electronics crew to new heights. Build next-level hardware – and guide the bright minds who make it happen.

As our Team Lead Electronics Engineering, you blend technical hardware expertise with people-minded leadership.

You guide a talented team of several engineers designing, testing, and refining the electronics that power our radar systems.

Reporting to our Head of Innovation, you work closely with cross-functional areas like I&D Engineering, I&D Project Management, Procurement, and our external partners.

You make sure our hardware is top quality, our processes run smoothly, and your team gets space to grow.

Responsibilities

• Team leadership and coaching: Guide and mentor a team of engineers on their daily work and project execution

• Technical direction and standards: Define technical direction and team standards, ensuring high quality and alignment across all designs. Lead new design projects and product improvements for electrical, optical, and thermal control. Present designs and run constructive reviews with the team

• Resource and operational management: Allocate resources efficiently, assign project tasks, and manage work schedules

• PCB design and layout: Hands-on PCB layout creation using Altium Designer. Guide choices on RF and analog circuits, digital design, and high-speed interfaces

• Circuit testing and verification: Oversee detailed testing, simulation, and design verification. Ensure findings are documented properly before releasing components or sub-assembly solutions to production

• Design documentation and compliance: Keep design files, test reports, and technical specs structured and up to date. Maintain compliance with relevant IPC standards, EMC regulations, and internal procedures

• Process improvement and partner alignment: Identify areas for operational improvement, evaluate proposed design changes to balance added value against resource expenditure, and manage contractor POs/timesheets. Collaborate directly with component suppliers, EMS partners, and academic institutions
