Department

Research & Development

We are looking for a Hardware & Firmware Electronics Development Engineer capable of designing and developing solutions for sensors/detectors (inductive, magnetic, capacitive, optical, etc.), associated interfaces, and their testing systems.

The role

As part of our activities, we are looking for a Hardware & Firmware Electronics Development Engineer capable of designing and developing solutions for sensors/detectors (inductive, magnetic, capacitive, optical, etc.), associated interfaces and their testing systems.

Responsibilities

Within the R&D department and reporting to the Head of R&D, your responsibilities will include:

• Participating in the analysis of specifications
• Designing and developing electronic solutions (definition, sizing, and qualification), including electrical and thermal calculations, SPICE simulations, proof‑of‑concept development, MTTF calculations, while considering all requirements and applicable standards
• Developing proof of concepts and prototypes
• Writing firmware (MCU programming)
• Independently developing and fine‑tuning both hardware and software components
• Contributing to PCB layout design
• Pre‑qualifying developed products (electrical, environmental, and EMC testing)
• Writing calculation notes and test/simulation reports for developed hardware and software functions
• Contributing to product FMEA
• Participating in SIL or SSIL project development
• Documenting research work (functional descriptions, experiments, etc.)
• Leading certain development‑phase projects with a strong electronics focus

Desired profile

You hold a Master’s degree (Engineering degree or MSc) in electronics and industrial computing and have at least 5 years of experience in a similar role.

You are characterized by:

• Rigor and attention to detail
• Adaptability and a strong drive for innovation
• Ability to document your work clearly
• Strong communication and feedback skills
• Teamwork capability
• Proactive mindset and initiative
• Ability to organize and manage your time based on priorities
• Commitment and proactivity

Specific advantages

• Concrete projects with a strong impact on product quality
• A stimulating technical environment within a human‑sized team
• Opportunities to develop your skills across various topics (sensor physics, embedded electronics)

Technical skills

Minimum 5 years of experience in hardware electronics development based on microcontrollers (MCU).

Strong knowledge of:

• Analog and mixed electronics (operational amplifiers, filters, oscillators, SPI, I2C, UART interfaces, ADC, DAC, etc.)
• Electronic testing and validation (electrical, EMC, environmental testing, SPICE simulations)
• C programming for 8‑bit and 32‑bit MCUs (experience with MPLAB X IDE and/or STM32 IDE is required)
• Experience in the rail sector is an advantage

Due to the international scope of the group and the role, an intermediate level of English (B2) is required.
