The Impact You'll Make

We are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer who is passionate about turning innovative concepts into reality. In this role, you will be a key contributor to new product development, working across the entire lifecycle — from defining specifications and designing schematics to creating PCB layouts, testing prototypes, and supporting production release. You will apply strong engineering fundamentals, advanced mathematical skills, and hands‑on hardware experience to deliver reliable, high‑quality electronic designs.

If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges, collaborating with cross‑functional teams, and continuously improving how products are built, this position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

This position is primarily based at our Povazska Bystrica (Slovakia) site. However, if one of our other locations — Nordborg (Denmark), Minneapolis (USA), or Pune (India) — is a better fit for you, we encourage you to apply.

Please note that this is an on‑site role, so candidates should only apply if a daily commute to the office is practical. 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead electrical design efforts for new product development, from defining specifications to production release.

• Design electrical schematics using solid engineering principles and advanced math concepts.

• Create PCB layouts with a strong understanding of trace routing, layer stack‑ups, grounding, component placement, and manufacturability.

• Perform hands‑on bench testing, validation, and troubleshooting of prototype and production hardware.

• Upgrade existing controller platforms to meet the latest Cybersecurity (CRA) requirements.

• Interpret and apply international engineering and environmental standards throughout the design process.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, software, manufacturing, quality) to ensure seamless integration of electrical designs.

• Use ECAD and mechanical CAD tools (Altium Designer, NX, or similar) to support design and documentation.

• Utilize lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, RF tools, and data acquisition systems.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives, driving quality, reliability, and design efficiency.

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to stakeholders across engineering, product management, and manufacturing.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university
• Have a minimum of 3 years of experience applying skills in designing schematics and printed circuit boards
• Possess good knowledge of ECAD tools and mechanical CAD tools, experience with Altium Designer and NX are a plus
• Ability to apply advanced mathematical concepts such as algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, geometry, and trigonometry
• Basic knowledge of digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, PC data acquisition hardware, inspection equipment, signal generators, power supplies, RF equipment, and current probes
• Possess strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively communicate with key stakeholders
• Salary range for this role is dependent on location.
