You'll work with high-performance electronics, motor controllers and power systems built for demanding environments.\nAs the Electronics Engineer - Sustaining, you'll help maintain and improve our existing product portfolio, ensuring our products continue to perform reliably as manufacturing scales.\nThe work involves a range of technical challenges, from troubleshooting hardware issues and validating alternative components to making design improvements and developing manufacturing test equipment.\nYou'll work closely with our engineering and production teams, gaining hands-on exposure to our products and helping ensure they meet the standards our customers expect.\nYou will be working on:\nProviding sustaining engineering support for existing products, ensuring quality, performance and reliability.\n\nEvaluating, testing and validating alternative electronic components.\n\nTroubleshooting electronic hardware issues and implementing improvements.\n\nPerforming design revisions, including PCB re-layouts, schematic updates and circuit modifications.\n\nMaintaining engineering documentation, including schematics, revision records and technical procedures on internal platforms such as Notion.\n\nDesigning and developing scalable manufacturing test jigs, fixtures and supporting hardware.\n\nImplementing engineering changes into production.\n\nImproving testing efficiency, accuracy and automation to support production scale-up.\n\nCollaborating with engineering and production teams to resolve technical issues and improve manufacturing processes.\n\nWHY HARGRAVE\nNamed after Australian aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave, we are an Australian engineering company designing and manufacturing high-performance electronics, motors and control systems for demanding applications.\nOur work is mission-critical, technically challenging and used in environments where reliability matters. Our technology supports drones and military applications, where engineering decisions directly influence real-world performance.\nYou'll work on engineering with real-world purpose and see your contributions become physical products used in demanding environments.\nWe're small enough for your voice and work to have a direct impact, while scaling to deliver high-impact projects around the world.\nOwnership is central to how we operate. Engineers are trusted to make decisions, challenge existing approaches and take responsibility for their work through to completion.\nLess bureaucracy. More ownership, accountability and quality.\nAs Hargrave grows, you'll have opportunities to shape our products, processes and engineering culture.\nThe ideal candidate would have experience in:\n2-7 years of relevant experience in electronics or hardware engineering.\n\nElectronic circuit design, PCB layout and schematic development.\n\nAnalogue and digital electronics, including hardware troubleshooting.\n\nElectronic component evaluation, selection and validation.\n\nProficiency in using oscilloscopes and multimeters for electronic testing and troubleshooting.\n\nDesigning and developing manufacturing test fixtures, jigs and supporting hardware.\n\nProviding technical engineering support for electronics manufacturing and production processes.\n\nExperience with power electronics, motor controllers, ESCs or automated manufacturing testing would be highly regarded.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3611,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Robotic Components & Sensors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T02:29:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T21:31:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34864,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2479930},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2479930"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhargrave-technologies-electronics-engineer-sustaining"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3783962}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hargravetechnologies.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3783962},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
