You would work with colleagues in Germany on some projects and deliver innovative solutions. These projects will be best suited to an all-rounder Hardware Engineer someone comfortable with variety from high voltage layout for PCBs, to FPGA design using VHDL / Verilog and C/C++ for embedded software.

Requirements:

  • Demonstrable relevant experience with FPGAs (VHDL / Verilog) and writing software for embedded processors.
  • Experience in power electronics control algorithms.
  • Proficiency with PCB design used in power electronics.
