Senior Hardware Engineer

The Company Our client is an international group that designs and manufactures RFID and smart devices, sold worldwide. Engineering sits at the Swiss headquarters, where products are taken from first requirements to mass production. The R&D team is looking for a senior engineer to join its Hardware team, reporting to the Team Lead HW.

The role You will own the hardware of products from planning to roll-out. That means designing the board, getting it through sampling, bringing it into production and keeping it healthy once it is out in the field.

What You Will Do

• Design mixed-signal, RF and digital boards, from low-level design based on user requirements to schematic, PCB layout and sampling
• Debug prototypes and pre-series, and verify that the design meets its specifications
• Take products into mass production and support daily manufacturing and industrialization issues
• Design test systems and production equipment for PCBA validation, at suppliers or at incoming inspection
• Manage change requests: second sources, alternative components, EOL, yield and quality improvements
• Analyse field returns and turn failure analysis into product improvements
• Keep design documentation, test plans and quality records aligned with production
• Follow new technologies and bring new solutions into the R&D team

What We Are Looking For

• 5 to 10+ years of hands-on electronic design in an R&D environment
• Solid experience in both analog and digital design, from schematic to layout
• Experience taking boards into volume production
• RF design in the sub-GHz and GHz ranges is a strong plus
• Knowledge of RFID technology is an asset
• Good English; Italian, German or French are welcome
• Willingness to travel occasionally

The Kind Of Person Who Fits Someone who still enjoys being at the bench, works well across functions (product management, supply chain, production, quality) and takes ownership beyond the boundaries of their job description.

What Is Offered

• Permanent contract with a Swiss R&D headquarters
• Gross annual salary between CHF 70,000 and 90,000, based on seniority
• Products with a full lifecycle, from concept to field
