Synapticon builds motion control and actuator technology for next-generation robots and machines. The company's product lines—SOMANET, Circulo, and ACTILINK—integrate drives, sensors, and control electronics into compact, highly efficient units deployed in demanding robotics programs globally.
As a Hardware Developer Electronics, you will design the next-generation robotic axis controller, working closely with firmware, functional safety, and mechanics teams. You will own the full hardware development lifecycle: from initial concept through schematic design, PCB layout, board bring-up, and testing. Your focus will be creating highly integrated servo electronics that balance efficiency, performance, and cost.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design highly integrated power electronics for next-generation robotic axis controllers
- Execute the complete hardware development lifecycle: concept, schematic design, layout, board bring-up, and testing
- Collaborate with firmware, safety, and mechanics engineers to optimize the overall system
- Troubleshoot and validate prototypes in the lab
- Drive designs from prototype to series production with emphasis on cost and manufacturability
- Contribute creative ideas and push the boundaries of the technology
The role offers hybrid work, flexible hours, and a flat-hierarchy international team environment with professional development opportunities.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with mixed-signal designs and strong understanding of basic electronics
- Solid experience across the full hardware development lifecycle, including schematic design, layout, board bring-up, and testing
- Proficiency with lab equipment and ability to troubleshoot prototypes quickly
- Strong experience with Altium Designer and LTspice
- Experience in EMC fundamentals, analog design, power electronics, or manufacturing optimization (strong plus)
- Clear communicator able to discuss ideas with colleagues and articulate thinking
- Passionate about technology and design creativity with drive to learn and grow
- Fluent in English
