Senior Hardware Engineer (m/f/x)

As a Hardware Engineer at Skeleton Technologies, you will translate system requirements into robust hardware specifications for a high-volume, small-series production environment. You’ll own electronics concepts, component selection, schematics, PCB layouts, and tests to meet functional, EMC/EMI, environmental, and manufacturability targets. You’ll work with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable manufacturing deployment and ongoing validation, helping to scale our energy storage solutions for a net-zero future. This role offers hands-on design with a strong emphasis on DFM/DFT, end-of-line testing, and continuous improvement across the production ramp.

• flexible working hours
• mobile working without core hours

• Define electronics functionality from system requirements to hardware specifications (100+ devices/year)
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, cost targets, and customer expectations
• Conduct risk, reliability, and redundancy analyses (FMEA, FTA)
• Design electronics concepts, select components, and create schematics, PCB layouts, wiring, and interfaces
• Perform electrical simulations and testing to verify behavior and support DFM/DFT with manufacturing partners
• Prepare and maintain design documentation, logs, reports, manuals, and production files
• Support hardware quality through validation testing and specification writing, collaborating with test engineers
• Define and validate end-of-line (EoL) testing, fixtures, and software requirements; analyze yield and failure modes
• Collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams to resolve design/process issues and assist in troubleshooting
• Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and production teams to guide product builds

• 5+ years of electronics design for small-series or larger production
• Hands-on experience transitioning designs into manufacturing (DFM/DFT, industrialization, test setup)
• Experience with EoL testing, yield and failure analysis, continuous improvement during ramp-up
