Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and development of electronics hardware for dispenser platforms, including sensors, actuators, and wireless communication modules.
Select cost-efficient and reliable electronic components tailored for mass production, ensuring supply-chain resilience.
Design and validate low-power circuit topologies, optimized for battery- operated devices.
Collaborate with embedded firmware developers to ensure tight integration between hardware and software platforms.
Participate in the architecture definition and selection of microcontrollers, sensor types (capacitive, IR, load cells, etc.), and communication protocols (BLE, NFC, LoRa, etc.).
Develop and review schematics, PCB layouts, and oversee prototype fabrication and validation.
Perform EMC/EMI considerations, tolerance analysis, and support regulatory pre-compliance and approvals.
Lead local prototype builds, testing and validation of functional models in collaboration with industrial design and mechanical engineering.
Document all development activities in line with Ophardt's global design control standards, including design specifications, verification plans, and manufacturing documentation.
Support transfer to production, DFM/DFA reviews, and industrialization activities with production and procurement teams.
Mentor junior engineers and support technical development within the Ingo engineering team.
Required Qualifications And Experience
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering, with specialization in embedded systems, sensor design, or IoT electronics.
Minimum 10 years of professional experience in electronics hardware development (preferably in consumer or medical-grade devices).
Proficiency in ECAD tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad).
Experience with low-power design, battery-powered systems, and sensor integration.
Familiarity with embedded firmware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART), and cooperation with embedded developers.
Track record of independently delivering prototype to production PCBA design projects.
Advantageous: Familiarity with hygiene, dispenser, or dosing systems; exposure to global collaborative design environments.
