We develop the innovative software and hardware systems that power Ocado.com, as well as the unique ‘Ocado Smart Platform’ which is being implemented by ambitious retailers across the world from Europe to America, Asia and beyond.\nOcado Technology - Greece (acquisition):https://www.myrmex-inc.com/blog/19\nOur R&D department is based in Athens, Greece, where a team of brilliant engineers are developing disruptive material handling systems for the online grocery industry and other retail verticals. We pioneer innovative order fulfilment solutions and last-mile delivery business models tailored for retailers and supply chain-intensive sectors. Our mission is to assist them in overcoming the challenges inherent in modernising their systems and processes to effectively address complex industry issues. Some of the most innovative retailers globally have already partnered with us, and we are delivering products and services for them.\nIf you are excited about the cross-section where machines meet humans, about the future of work, retail and supply chains, and want to help transform the European logistics industry via Greek technologies, we are interested in getting to know you.\nAbout the Role \nAs an Electronics Design Engineer within our Hardware Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) prototypes for cutting-edge robotic applications. You will take ownership across the entire lifecycle of our hardware designs, spanning initial concept, specification, schematic capture, component selection, simulation, prototyping, verification, debugging, and ongoing product support.\nWorking in our Athens R&D centre, you will tackle complex engineering challenges while driving continuous design improvements through root cause failure analysis and safety evaluations. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams - including software, firmware, mechanical, integration, and testing engineers-to ensure our hardware solutions seamlessly integrate into state-of-the-art automated logistics platforms.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, and test custom PCB prototypes and electronic hardware solutions in line with project specifications.\nPerform analog electronic circuit simulations using SPICE software to evaluate system performance.\nConduct schematic capture, component selection, prototyping, verification, and debugging activities.\nExecute constraint-driven, high-frequency, and low-noise multi-layer PCB layout designs.\nPerform root cause analysis on hardware failures, present detailed findings, and optimize existing PCB designs.\nVerify design performance and functionality using standard laboratory instrumentation and custom test setups.\nConduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to quantify the reliability and safety levels of hardware functions.\nFormulate comprehensive test plans to validate electronic hardware against design requirements.\nExecute hands-on PCB rework to support hardware testing, prototyping, and failure diagnostics.\nCollaborate cross-functionally with software, firmware, mechanical, integration, and testing teams.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nEssential\nDegree (Bachelor’s, Diploma, or MSc/MEng) in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.\nProven PCB design experience using industry-standard CAD tools (such as Altium, Cadence, Mentor, KiCad, or Eagle).\nSolid understanding of analog and digital electronics fundamentals.\nProficiency in using analog electronic circuit simulation software (e.g., SPICE).\nFamiliarity with standard laboratory test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, signal analysers).\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills in English.\nStrong collaborative mindset with a communicative, team-oriented approach.\nNice to Haves\nPractical experience with hand soldering and manual PCB rework techniques.\nBenefits\nOur employee benefits are designed for you. We care about people and we've ensured we have a wealth of benefits that focus on your well-being. We regularly review our benefits to ensure we are supporting our employees appropriately. Currently, we offer technically stretching work, a competitive salary and:\nA hybrid working policy that sees you in the office typically 40% of your time.\n30 days 'working from anywhere' policy\nPrivate Medical Insurance\nMeal tickets\nHome office equipment\nOpportunity to participate in share schemes\nBe bold, be unique, be brilliant, be you. We are looking for individuality and we value diversity. We are an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to treating all applicants and employees fairly and equally. We are committed to making reasonable adjustments to provide a positive, barrier-free recruitment process and supportive work environment.
