Freelance Embedded Hardware Engineer (m/f/x)

Electronics Engineer - Space and Airborne Applications

• Design of electronic systems across a broad range of electronics, adhering to high-quality standards suitable for space or airborne applications.
• Development of high-speed analog and digital designs, sensors, actuator/motor drives, and power supplies. Involves complex boards integrating microcontrollers, high-ball-count FPGAs, memories, and SoCs.
• Responsible for the entire design cycle: component selection, schematic creation, layout, laboratory testing, design verification, integration, and handover to testing and production teams.
• Coordinate among disciplines (electronics, mechanical, optics, control systems, software, simulation) to achieve optimal technical solutions considering all constraints.
• Conduct bench work to test, debug, and integrate electronics using laboratory instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, traffic generators).
• Support PCB industrialization activities, interface with production and test engineering, write test specifications, and train test engineers/technicians.
• Opportunities for growth within Mynaric into technical lead or project management roles, including overseeing work, making technical decisions, managing schedules, and presenting to customers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar.
• Minimum 7 years of experience in hardware development, ideally 10+ years.
• Proactive personality with responsibility-taking, exceeding expectations, and a "can do" attitude. Ability to work across disciplines to resolve technical and organizational issues.
• Proficiency in schematic capture, PCB layout, circuit simulation, and experience with ECAD tools (preferably Altium Designer).
• Experience with bench instruments (oscilloscopes, analyzers, power supplies).
• Leadership experience in technical roles, decision-making on critical trades, schedule oversight, and management reporting is a plus.
• Experience with high-frequency/high-speed design and simulation tools is advantageous.
• Basic knowledge of embedded programming in C/C++ and FPGA programming workflows is beneficial.
• Excellent written and spoken English and/or German communication skills.
