Senior Electronics Design Engineer

Sydney | 12-Month Fixed Term Contract

This is not a generalist engineering role.

This is for engineers who design, build, and own complex electronic systems.

You’ll be working on highly regulated, implantable technology where failure isn’t tolerated and engineering decisions have direct real-world impact.

If you’re someone who operates comfortably across hardware, systems, and real-world constraints, this is where your work actually matters.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a specialised engineering environment developing next-generation electronic systems used in advanced medical applications.

This is a hands-on, technically demanding role. You will contribute directly to the design, development, and verification of complex electronic subsystems, working across both component and system level.

Depending on your background, you’ll take ownership in one of the following areas:

• RF / wireless systems
• Embedded firmware
• Mixed-signal ASICs
• PCB design and layout

You’ll work closely with internal teams and external development partners, influencing key technical decisions across the product lifecycle.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop electronic subsystems for advanced devices
• Take technical ownership within your domain while contributing at system level
• Develop and review requirements, specifications, and design documentation
• Participate in schematic, layout, firmware, and system-level design reviews
• Support external partners in development and integration
• Troubleshoot complex issues through debugging and root cause analysis
• Communicate technical decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly
• Support verification and validation, including test development and analysis
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, regulatory, and manufacturing teams
• Ensure designs meet strict safety, reliability, and regulatory standards

What You Bring

You need depth. Not surface-level exposure.

Strong expertise in at least one of the following:

RF / Wireless Systems

• Bluetooth or RF system design and integration
• Antenna, EMC, and coexistence considerations
• Exposure to compliance and regulatory testing

PCB Design & Layout

• Multi-layer PCB design and schematic capture
• Mixed-signal, low-noise, or RF-sensitive layouts
• Design for manufacturability and test

Embedded Firmware

• Strong embedded C programming
• Experience with low-power or safety-critical systems
• Hardware-software integration and debugging

Mixed-Signal ASICs

• Experience with analog / mixed-signal ASICs
• Understanding of signal integrity, data conversion, and power management
• Experience working with ASIC vendors or design houses

Nice to Have

• Analog electronics and simulation (SPICE, LTspice)
• Programming beyond embedded (Python, C#)
• Control systems, DSP, or related domains
• Experience with FMEA and test method validation
• Background in regulated environments (ISO 13485, IEC 62304)

Why This Role

• High level of technical ownership
• Work on complex, real-world systems
• Exposure across the full product lifecycle
• Collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment
