Senior Electronics Engineer

Electronics Engineer 10+ Years Exp
Job Location: Sydney, New South Wales

We’re working with a highly specialised engineering business developing mission-critical electronic products used in hazardous environments. This is not greenfield R&D only. It’s where design meets reality. Production constraints, compliance, field failures, and customer-specific modifications all collide.

You won’t survive here if you’re purely theoretical or only comfortable in a lab.

What you’ll actually be doing

This role is heavily weighted toward product ownership and lifecycle engineering, not just clean-sheet design.

  • Own and support existing electronic products across production, procurement, and field applications
  • Design and develop new circuits and systems, while improving legacy designs
  • Modify and customise products based on real customer and project requirements
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot issues across development, manufacturing, and field environments
  • Work closely with production and procurement teams to ensure delivery doesn’t break
  • Maintain full engineering documentation. BOMs, PCB files, drawings, manuals
  • Analyse and improve products for reliability, manufacturability, and lifecycle performance
  • Collaborate with mechanical and software engineers for full system integration
  • Ensure designs comply with strict regulatory and certification standards
  • Contribute to new product development when required

What you need to bring

If your experience is shallow or siloed, this role will expose it fast.

  • 10+ years in electronics design and product lifecycle support
  • Strong proficiency in Altium Designer (Altium 365 is a bonus)
  • Deep experience in analog and digital schematic design
  • Proven track record in multi-layer PCB design (8–12 layers, high-speed, high pin-count BGAs like FPGA)
  • Strong understanding of battery systems (Li-ion, Ni-Cd, smart batteries)
  • Experience with industrial communication protocols
    • Ethernet (Gbps, RGMII, MDIO)
    • I²C, UART, SPI, CAN, RS485, LVDS
  • Embedded hardware experience with microcontrollers (PIC, ARM, STM32)
  • Sensor integration (pressure, temperature, etc.)
  • Exposure to wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee)

Nice to have but valuable:

  • Hazardous area standards (IEC/EN 60079)
  • Gas sensing technologies (e.g. methane detection)
  • Industrial displays or imaging systems
  • FPGA development (Intel/Altera, Verilog)

The reality of this role

This is not a role for someone chasing “cool tech” without responsibility.

You’ll be dealing with:

  • Legacy constraints that don’t care about your ideal design
  • Production pressures that force trade-offs
  • Compliance requirements that limit creativity
  • Customers who need solutions, not excuses

If you’ve only worked in isolated R&D or haven’t owned products post-release, you’ll struggle.

Why this is worth your time

 

  • Real ownership. You’re not a small cog in a large machine
  • Direct impact on products used in critical environments
  • A mix of design, problem-solving, and system-level thinking
  • Exposure to complex, regulated engineering challenges most engineers avoid

 

If you can actually handle both design and reality, I want to speak with you.

Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Designer Mechanical Engineer 5-10 Years Exp 2-5 Years Exp
Job Location: Sydney, New South Wales

Product Development | Precision Electromechanical Systems

Not a maintenance design role.

This is a product engineering role inside a team that designs precision electromechanical systems used in high-reliability equipment deployed globally.

You will be joining a specialised engineering group working across mechanical, electronic, optical and magnetic technologies to design hardware that must perform consistently in real-world environments. These are physical products. Built, tested, iterated, and shipped worldwide.

The role is based in Sydney, NSW.

Why engineers like working here

• Work on real products, not theoretical designs
• Collaborate with experienced multidisciplinary engineers
• Opportunity to design systems that integrate mechanics, electronics and sensing technologies
• See your designs go from concept → prototype → production

What you’ll be doing

• Design and develop new mechanical systems for production hardware
• Improve and optimise existing product designs already deployed globally
• Create 3D models and detailed drawings in SolidWorks
• Prototype and test design concepts to validate performance and reliability
• Investigate product performance issues and implement design improvements
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are practical for production
• Develop engineering documentation including change notes and component approvals
• Collaborate with electronics, quality and manufacturing teams across the product lifecycle
• Provide technical input on mechanical design queries when required

What you’ll need

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Strong experience using SolidWorks for 3D modelling and mechanical design
• Experience designing mechanical components for production products
• Understanding of mechanical integration with electronic systems
• Experience with injection moulded components and production design

Nice to have

• Experience setting up SolidWorks PDM environments or managing design data migration

Important

This role is open only to candidates currently based in Australia with full working rights.

Interested?

If you enjoy designing real hardware, solving mechanical problems, and working with engineers who care about building well-engineered products, this is worth a conversation.
