WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Synapticon builds the motion control and actuator technology at the core of next-generation robots and machines. Our SOMANET, Circulo and ACTILINK product lines integrate drives, sensors and control electronics into compact, highly efficient units, deployed in some of the most demanding robotics programmes globally.
As Hardware Developer you will help create our next-generation robotic axis controller. Working closely with our firmware, functional safety and mechanics teams, you will design highly integrated servo electronics from first concept all the way to series production. Your challenge: designing hardware that works hand in hand with the firmware to be highly efficient, performant and economical.
HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT
Design highly integrated power electronics for our next-generation robotic axis controller
Cover the full hardware development lifecycle: concept, schematic design, layout, board bring-up and testing
Collaborate closely with firmware, safety and mechanics engineers to optimise the overall system
Troubleshoot and validate prototypes in the lab
Drive designs from prototype to series production, with a focus on cost and manufacturability
Bring your own ideas to the table and push the limits of what our technology can do
WHO YOU ARE
3+ years of hands-on experience with mixed-signal designs and a strong understanding of basic electronics — the rest you can learn
Solid experience across the hardware development lifecycle, including schematic design, layout, board bring-up and testing
