Senior Electrical Engineer | Electronics

You will take ownership of the design, qualification, and performance improvement of electrical and electronic architectures for industrial systems (including plotters, cutters, and related equipment). The Senior Electrical Engineer also manage project activities using both V‑model and Agile methodologies, contribute expertise on component sourcing and obsolescence, and drive cost‑optimization initiatives.

Client Details

This organization is a global leader in advanced technology solutions that help automate and improve the design, development, and manufacturing of products made from soft materials. It develops sophisticated software, state‑of‑the‑art cutting equipment, and a wide range of services for major sectors such as fashion (apparel, accessories, footwear), automotive interiors and safety systems, furniture, and several specialized industries including aeronautics, marine applications, renewable energy, and protective equipment.

As part of its long‑term plan to continuously renew and enhance its portfolio of automated cutting machines, the company aims to further strengthen customer value by upgrading product performance and expanding its offering of consumables and spare parts.

Within the R&D department, the Product Line organization has several core missions:

• Conceive, develop, and industrialize innovative, high‑performance, and reliable technological solutions that can be efficiently produced at scale, all while meeting environmental and social responsibility goals.
• Support and maintain multiple generations of installed plotters and cutters deployed worldwide.
• Build the foundations for future product lines.

  Key Responsibilities
  
  
  • Define detailed electrical and electronic system architectures in coordination with cross‑functional teams, purchasing, and mechatronics engineering.
  • Design electrical and electronic components, including control systems, power electronics, protection circuitry, and interfaces.
  • Create electronic board schematics, perform PCB layout, select components, and prepare manufacturing files (BOM, DRC).
  • Plan and execute validation and qualification testing campaigns, including documentation for safety, EMC/EMI, and environmental compliance.
  • Prepare calculations, reliability analyses (FMEA, MTBF), technical specifications, and test documentation.
  • Manage project timelines and risks using V‑model and Agile frameworks, and provide progress updates to the Director.
  • Address sourcing challenges and component end‑of‑life issues; qualify replacements and drive cost‑efficient BOM improvements.
  • Lead failure investigations and perform root‑cause analyses, proposing both corrective and preventive measures.
  • Develop FPGA / VHDL solutions for real‑time requirements when needed.
  • Collaborate closely with embedded firmware teams, mechanical engineering, and software development to ensure successful system integration.
  • Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical reference, with the potential to grow into a team management role.
