Senior Hardware Engineer (m/f/x)
About this role
Skeleton's Engineering Department is looking for a driven and experienced
Hardware Engineer (m/f/x).
Your responsibility areas:
Define electronics functionality and translate system-level requirements into detailed hardware specifications (100+ devices per year).
Ensure compliance with industry standards, cost targets, and customer expectations throughout the development cycle.
Conduct risk, reliability, and redundancy analyses (e.g., FMEA, FTA).
Develop electronics concepts, select components, and design schematics, PCB layouts, wiring, and interfaces to meet functional, EMC/EMI, environmental, and manufacturability requirements.
Perform electrical simulations and testing to verify system behaviour and support DFM/DFT activities with manufacturing partners.
Prepare and maintain documentation, including design logs, reports, manuals, and production files.
Support hardware quality through validation testing, specification writing, and close cooperation with test engineers.
Define and validate end-of-line (EoL) testing, including equipment, fixtures, and software requirements; analyse yield data and failure modes to drive improvements.
Collaborate closely with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve design or process issues and support troubleshooting when needed.
Work cross-functionally with internal product, engineering, and production teams, guiding product build as needed.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience in electronics design for small-series or larger production.
- Hands-on experience transitioning designs into manufacturing, including DFM/DFT, industrialization, and test setup.
- Practical know-how in EoL testing, yield and failure analysis, and continuous improvement during production ramp-up.
- Experience working in multidisciplinary teams (hardware, software, mechanics, testing, production).
- Strong skills in schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, simulation, prototyping, and testing.
- Proficiency in Altium Designer or a comparable E
