- Build prototypes, validate solutions, and prepare products for mass production.

- Define manufacturing requirements and support industrialization processes.
- Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturers throughout production.
- Define validation plans, testing protocols, and acceptance criteria.
- Perform hardware debugging using laboratory equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, power supplies, etc.).
- Diagnose production and field issues, identify root causes, and implement permanent solutions.
- Ensure products comply with applicable European regulations (CE, RoHS, EMC, Radio Directives where applicable).
- Plan production capacity according to business needs and event schedules.
- Monitor inventories and component availability.
- Evaluate suppliers and packaging solutions.
- Participate in budgeting and cost optimization decisions.
- Create technical documentation, manufacturing guides, repair manuals, FAQs, and operational procedures.
- Maintain design documentation, firmware versions, BOMs, and change history.
- Train junior engineers on production and repair processes.
- Act as the technical reference for hardware-related incidents.
What we're looking for
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Take ownership from concept to production.
- Make pragmatic technical decisions balancing quality, cost and delivery.
- Feel comfortable working under pressure in business-critical environments.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to both engineering and non-technical teams.
- Enjoy collaborating across Hardware, Software, Product, Operations and Procurement.
- Are curious, hands-on, and continuously looking for better solutions.

As part of the hiring process, candidates will be asked to present at least three relevant hardware projects demonstrating their contribution to products that reached production.
For each project, we expect to understand:
- The business or user problem being solved.
- Your specific role and responsibilities.
- Technical architecture and design decisions.
- Evidence of your work (schematics, BOMs, test reports, product photos or similar, anonymized if necessary).
- Measurable outcomes (production volume, quality improvements, costs, reliability, etc.).
During the final stages of the process, we'll also request professional references for at least two of these projects (with your prior consent).
