Hardware Developer – Automotive Sensors

We are seeking a highly self-driven Hardware Developer to take ownership of automotive sensor products, as part of a new R&D Location ramping-up. The role requires strong technical autonomy, initiative, and the ability to reverse-engineer and stabilize existing designs. The focus is on inductive, magneto-resistive, and Hall-effect sensor technologies used in automotive applications.

This role is critical to ensuring continuity, technical understanding, and long-term sustainability of legacy and ongoing sensor projects.

• Define System and HW requirements, based on Customer specifications.
• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal hardware for automotive sensing applications.
• Work with inductive, magnetoresistive, and Hall effect technologies to create precise position, speed, and angle sensors.
• Perform circuit design, simulation, schematic capture, and PCB layout review.
• Define and execute hardware validation and verification plans.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and test engineers to ensure system-level performance.
• Analyze test data and perform root-cause analysis for hardware-related issues.
• Ensure compliance with automotive standards such as ASPICE, ISO 26262 and EMC/EMI.
• Support issue resolution from development through production and field feedback. Support customer communication on field returns.
• Support manufacturing, testing, and quality teams during transition and production phases.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong experience in hardware development for automotive or industrial sensor systems.
• Hands-on experience with inductive, magneto-resistive, and/or Hall-effect sensors.
• Solid background in analog and mixed-signal circuit design and signal conditioning.
• Proven ability to work independently with minimal guidance or existing documentation.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills using standard lab equipment.
• Experience dealing with legacy designs, design transfers, or inherited projects.
• Familiarity with automotive standards (ISO 26262, AEC-Q100/Q200, ISO 16750).
• Experience with EMC/ESD mitigation and root-cause analysis.
• Knowledge of automotive communication interfaces (PS5, LIN, SPI, I²C).
• Experience supporting hardware in series production and field issue resolution.
