What we鈥檙e looking for
We are looking for a hands-on Sustaining Electronics Engineer who takes full ownership of electronics quality and production troubleshooting, reading schematics, defining test architecture, running EMS supplier quality, and closing defects independently, so the production line never stops.聽
The day-to-day
-
Troubleshooting: Diagnose and close any production electronics issue directly from Altium schematics and PCB layouts, no R&D handoff, no waiting
-
Test architecture: Define and own the full PCBA test setup, ICT, FCT, bed-of-nails, boundary scan, write all test code yourself (Python, 碌C firmware, NITestStand) and feed DFT requirements back into design reviews
-
Quality ownership: Author acceptance criteria, pass/fail thresholds, and NC dispositions with documented technical rationale; own IPC-A-610 soldering standards and ESD controls on the line
-
Supplier quality: Run PCBA EMS supplier quality end-to-end: FAI, incoming inspection, deviations, and corrective action closure
-
Field returns and root cause: Triage field returns, leadboardand system bring-up for first articles, and drive root-cause analysis to permanent corrective action
-
Change management: Own PCB modifications triggered bycomponent EOL, alternative functionality, or sourcing changes, from impact assessment through Altium layout changes, prototype validation, and EMS rollout
You should apply if you
-
Bring the right foundation: Degree in electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, or a comparable technical field
-
Read Altium cold: Derive a test or troubleshooting approach without support, live in the technica 聽linterview
-
Know your PCBA processes: 聽Solid hands-on experience in SMT/THT, IPC-A-610, ESD control, conformal coating and rework
-
Write test code yourself: 聽Microcontroller firmware, Python, or NI TestStand; no handoff, no waiting
-
Own the full debug cycle: Oscilloscope, logic analyser, and multimeter are standard tools, not special occasions
-
Thrive in ambiguity: Self-directed, communicate clearly in English, and drive a defect from open to closed without R&D support. German is a plus
Nice to haves
-
Defenceor aerospace background:聽familiarity with qualification frameworks such as MIL-STD, DO-160, or EASA equivalents
-
Startup scaling experience:聽hands-on experience taking hardware production from prototype to series
-
Process quality tooling:聽PFMEA/DFMEA, AOI/AXI program setup, or statistical process control (Cpk, FPY, defect Pareto)
