Hardware Engineer: As a Hardware Designer, you will be a member of the hardware design team and contribute to the implementation of our hardware roadmap and the expansion of our existing product portfolio. You will acquire relevant technologies that may bring unique hardware selling points to our company, conduct proof-of-concepts (based on development kits) and communicate the results to the product control group. You will create schematics focusing on overall system consumption (battery-powered and non-battery-powered devices), size, speed, scalability, and environmental impact (green design). You collaborate with external companies, interact with different disciplines (e.g. product design companies, injection molding companies, etc.) and work with all of them to develop a solid overall hardware product. You will interact with firmware and algorithm teams to define hardware test strategies, perform necessary hardware tests to validate mixed designs (analog and digital components), and draw conclusions. They strive for first-time success. You create technical documentation and control/manage hardware certification (pre-compliance and compliance) through external laboratories. You will keep a close eye on the overall manufacturability of your hardware products and provide support to external EMS partners during the launch of first prototypes and pilot production. You will ensure a smooth handover of hardware products to the Pozyx operations team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Explore and analyze relevant technologies and hardware components.
• Conduct a proof of concept and outline recommendations.
