PRINCIPAL HARDWARE DEVELOPER (M/F/D)

We’re looking for a deeply experienced Hardware Developer (m/f/d) to lead the creation of our next generation robotic axis controller.
We need your creativity and passion to help design and develop the most reliable, efficient, and powerful robotics controller on the market. You will be contributing to all phases of product development, from design to series production.

Built on our history of innovative integrated motion concepts, you will work closely with other teams to specify the system requirements and deliver industrial-grade solutions to tough challenges. Your experience is essential to guide the team through verification and qualification processes and ensure the electronics meet all safety and quality requirements.

Some days you will quickly throw together a prototype board for an idea someone really wants to try, and other days you will be building the future of Synapticon. Sometimes those are the same thing.

You have many years of experience with mixed-signal industrial electronics, and are well-versed at bringing products through to series production. Your history of success was made through a combination of techniques, including simulation and prototyping, and you are comfortable with all stages of the development process, from schematic development to layout. You are excited to work on a team to build something bigger than you could do by yourself.

Robotics fascinates you, and you love to learn and create things. Your ability to explain and teach difficult concepts to younger engineers helps them grow, and your ability to foresee potential problems and help others move past roadblocks multiplies the effectiveness of the team. Knowledge of power electronics, analog circuits, and fieldbuses like EtherCAT or CAN are a big plus.

We are especially interested in selecting a candidate that excels in clear and effective communication, both verbally and in writing. Excellently written specifications communicate your clever solutions to the rest of the world. Meetings you lead are informative, and everyone leaves with a common goal.
