Embedded hardware engineer

General
Airios develops and produces domestic climate and ventilation control systems. These products and systems are developed by a multidisciplinary project team of hardware and software engineers under the leadership of a project manager.

As an Embedded hardware engineer, you will be part of a hardware team that consists out of 6 engineers.
 

The team is divided into 2 smaller groups with their own expertize (development and testing/service). The products are developed in an Agile/Kanban working environment.The Airios organisational structure is informal, flexible and designed to promote innovation. 

Duties

As an Embedded hardware engineer, you will design product architecture and specifications based on customer requests and / or internal stakeholders. This is done in close consultation with product owners, system architects and software engineering. You will provide ideas for product features and the way they are developed.

In the product design phase you create a electrical- and schematic design. You will be making PCB designs, or are involved in outsourcing this. When prototypes are finalized you will work with a Test Engineer to validate functionality. 
 

During this entire process, you are in close consultation with the purchasing and production department to optimize manufacturability of products. Part of your duties is specifying the production test system.

Next to the primary development process you will be involve in:

• Supporting the sales team creating budgets and setting up quotations.

• Investigating opportunities for new products and innovations.

As an Embedded hardware engineer, you will participate in all phases of the development and product cycle. You will act on your own discretion, and will be able to make decisions based on limited information.
