Senior Embedded Hardware Engineer / Consumer Eletronics

Das ist der Job

The work covers the full cycle, from first requirements to certified series production.

Darum lohnt es sich

At Helbling Technik Bern, you work on complete product development cycles for international OEM customers. Our team of four to five engineers covers hardware, firmware, and mechanics.

Concretely: /p ul liDefine the hardware architecture together with the project team and contribute from concept to series production /li liCapture schematics and layout PCBs in Altium Designer.

LTspice /li liNice to have: working knowledge of embedded C/C++ sufficient for daily exchange with firmware engineers /li /ul h3Personal qualifications /h3 ul liFinds the simplest solution that actually works, within cost, schedule, and space constraints /li liCommunicates hardware decisions clearly to mechanical and firmware colleagues /li liCurious about how the product works in the field, not just on the bench /li /ul pLanguages /p ul liEnglish: fluent, the working language of the team; German: an advantage /li /ul h3Helbling Benefits /h3 ul liProducts that matter: you shape devices that reach real users in markets worldwide.

No two are the same /li liInterdisciplinary teams: daily collaboration with experienced mechanical, firmware, and hardware specialists who take their work seriously /li liRoom to grow: structured support for technical and professional development, with access to the broader Helbling network across disciplines /li liStraightforward workplace: flat structures, short decision paths, and a working environment where good ideas move forward quickly /li liCentral Bern location: modern offices, easy to reach, with flexible working conditions and competitive, performance‑based compensation /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr ph3Senior Embedded Hardware Engineer / Consumer Eletronics /h3 pWe develop hardware that ends up in people's homes, offices, and hands.

Projects span consumer electronics, home and office appliances, and personal care devices. You own the hardware. /p h3Role Description /h3 pYou take the hardware from whiteboard to factory. That means being present at the requirements stage, making the key circuit decisions, and staying involved until the product ships.

The scope covers analog and digital circuits, 1.8 VDC to 1 kV, AC/DC and DC/DC converters up to approx. 200 W /li liSimulate circuits in LTspice; evaluate component and circuit alternatives balancing performance, cost, board space, and standards compliance /li liApply DFM and DFT from the start; select and qualify components including second sources /li liBuild and debug functional prototypes; perform hardware bring-up /li liRun EMC pre‑compliance and compliance testing, and robustness testing against relevant standards (e.g.

IEC 60335) /li liAnalyze measurement data; conduct root cause analysis and resolve issues /li liWrite technical documentation; manage requirements in Polarion and Atlassian tools /li liCoordinate directly with OEM partners, suppliers, and customers /li /ul pWe are looking for an engineer who has shipped real hardware, not just designed it.

The role is open to mid-level and senior candidates. /p h3Professional qualifications /h3 pBackground /p ul liBSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field /li liProven track record in consumer electronics hardware, ideally in home appliances, office devices, or beauty products, from concept through production /li liMid-level: leads hardware design within a project.

Senior: owns the full cycle end to end /li /ul pTechnical /p ul liProficient in Altium Designer for both schematic capture and PCB layout /li liSolid analog and digital circuit design skills: power electronics, sensor interfaces, motor and actuator drivers /li liPractical EMC design knowledge: layout, filtering, shielding, and hands‑on compliance testing /li liFamiliar with IEC 60335 or equivalent safety standards: isolation, creepage, and clearance /li liCircuit simulation experience, e.g.

The hardware decisions you make today end up in production runs tomorrow /li liTechnical depth: every project brings new circuit challenges, new standards, and real constraints.
