TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGER FOR ENCODER PRODUCTS (M/F/D)

We have the ambition for our products to offer the most excellent position sensing capability on the market. You will have full responsibility for this area of our products, so in many respects you will be a product owner; helping shape the requirements, understanding the market and end applications, and driving the technical work internally and through external partners. You will evaluate test results to decide if we’ve reached our goals, and experiment and make suggestions for how to optimize the solution. Your key responsibilities will be:

• Leading encoder product development projects and maintaining existing products

• Synchronize efforts of cross-functional teams: engineering, documentation, customer support

• Able to reason through technical issues at a low level, and predict where our customers will see problems

• Design of encoder features relevant for excellent motion control, such as robust and accurate sensor calibration

Our integrated motion devices always contain one or two position sensors in an effort to simplify integration for customers. This means we think like an encoder manufacturer and strive to foresee all the potential problems customers can run into, and solve them early. This covers many disciplines, so a decent part of your daily work is to interact with the rest of the team and champion the encoder performance, reliability, robustness, and ease of use from our customer’s perspective.

We’re looking for a passionate engineer that loves to build things. You should have a fairly strong background with position sensors, which could include Hall effect, TMR, optical, inductive, or other sensors, combined with an excellent understanding of common issues facing encoders that operate in the real world.

It would be amazing if you already had experience with project management of a technical topic, but it’s enough if you’re excited to learn on the job.

We are especially interested in selecting a candidate that excels in clear and effective communication, both verbally and in writing. Meetings you lead are informative, and everyone leaves with a common goal.

• 30 days paid vacation
• Full time (40 hours/per week), permanent contract
• Company pension plan
• We offer the possibility of working from home, depending on projects and tasks requirements
• Flexible working hours when life gets in the way 
• Annual performance and salary negotiations to align your compensation with your professional success
• An international team with lots of opportunities for career advancement

• Company support for gym memberships provided by Wellpass
• Health Programm supported by the company (WLP app, regular physical activities, nutrition consultancy, etc)
• Job bike to get to work healthy and fit
• Birthday vouchers
• Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)
• Daily snacks and fruits for all employees and breakfast every Monday
• Regular global team building events such as boot camps, skiing and a BBQ in summer. (Spouses and children are welcome to join the BBQ)
• Monthly culinary cultural events

• Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to help you to learn and to grow
• Modern office facilities with lounge and football table 
• The beautiful countryside around the office at our location in Schönaich with nice transport connections
• Shared apartment (WG) upon to availability
• Visa sponsorship, if required

Hi! We’re more than 80 experts actively looking to expand our talent. 

Our engineering team is from all walks of life, countries, and cultures. Our diversity drives our creativity, and we look forward to having your unique outlook shape our product.

Working hours and location are flexible at Synapticon, because working families need that. Although you may need to be beside your robot for much of the day, we understand that sometimes getting away from the problem to think is the better approach.

Our unique SoC microprocessor has a massive amount of processing power, available to build unique, real world physics-defying algorithms right into the robot joint. We strive to use the best technology for the problems we are working to solve.
