With a strong focus on innovation, technology and sustainability, we are dedicated to delivering comprehensive solutions and exceptional customer service.\nEdgeMachines is our edge-AI sensing division, and it is where lighting infrastructure becomes intelligent. We build compact, low-power sensors that turn ordinary streetlights into a privacy-first, real-time data network. Mounted on infrastructure cities already own, our sensors read traffic, parking, air quality, noise and crowd movement, and process every bit of it directly on the device, so raw data never leaves the street. This is smart-city sensing without the bandwidth, the cost or the privacy trade-offs, already deployed in cities across Europe, Australia and New Zealand.\nWe are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer to help shape the next generation of these outdoor edge-AI products, from early concept through to production.\n This is a broad, hands-on senior role. You will take ownership of the electronics across architecture, schematic and PCB design, RF and cellular connectivity, sensor integration, power systems, thermal performance and long -term reliability, for products that live outdoors on streetlights in demanding conditions. The role deliberately extends beyond the PCB into the practical engineering that gets a product built well: test fixtures, production software, validation methods and manufacturing processes.\nYou will have significant influence over product architecture, engineering standards, design-for-manufacture, and the reliability of hardware deployed at scale in the field.\nIt will suit an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines: reviewing a complex design one day, debugging hardware in the lab the next, working through enclosure and thermal trade-offs with mechanical engineers, and resolving issues on the production line.\nWhat you will do\nOwn schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews and hardware release across digital, mixed-signal, power and RF sections, balancing cost, robustness, DFM and DFT\nBring up and debug complex embedded hardware using structured measurement and root-cause analysis\nDesign and validate high-speed interfaces, clocks, memory, cameras and other signal-integrity-sensitive circuits\nDrive EMC pre-compliance and formal compliance activities, using test results to guide practical design improvements\nAdvance cellular and wireless performance through antenna tuning, placement, matching, grounding, shielding and enclosure-aware RF design\nIntegrate camera, microphone, environmental and radar sensors, and validate their electrical and system-level performance\nDevelop power supplies, protection, low-power behaviour and thermal performance for reliable outdoor operation\nUse CAD and 3D printing to develop enclosures, mounts, seals, prototypes, assembly aids and test jigs\nManage component lifecycle, availability, alternates and obsolescence risk\nBuild factory fixtures and automated workflows for programming, functional test, calibration, RF checks, traceability and reporting\nWrite practical Python or C/C++ tools for test automation, DFM and engineering analysis\nPartner directly with suppliers and manufacturers on production support, yield optimisation and engineering change control\n Strong electronics product-development experience spanning prototype, verification and production\nAdvanced schematic capture and PCB layout capability, including RF-aware and mixed-signal design\nHands-on EMC debugging and compliance experience, and practical antenna or cellular modem integration experience\nConfidence with oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, VNAs, logic analysers and electronic loads\nPractical mechanical design skills, and enough software ability to automate engineering and manufacturing tasks\nA methodical, ownership-driven approach and the ability to collaborate across software, hardware and manufacturing\nBeneficial\nConnectivity and RF: LTE-M / NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Wi-SUN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GNSS\nInterfaces, firmware and high-speed design: USB, camera MIPI CSI buses, digital audio, embedded firmware, or high-speed digital signal design\nStandards and compliance: RCM / CE / FCC / RED, or Zhaga Book 18 / D4i\nOutdoor products and manufacturing: IP-rated or outdoor products, PCBA production, or yield improvement\nWhy join\nGenuine ownership from concept through to field deployment, not a slice of someone else's design\nA complete, real-world product spanning outdoor electronics, embedded Linux, edge AI, wireless connectivity, cloud services and manufacturing\nHardware you design, deployed on lighting infrastructure in cities worldwide through Schréder's global reach\nThe autonomy and pace of a small, practical engineering team, with the backing and stability of a global leader\nHybrid working, based in Sydney\nIf you want to own real hardware end to end and see it deployed at scale, we would like to hear from you.\n Respect is one of our Values. Our commitment to inclusivity goes hand in hand with our dedication to sustainability and the environment. Inclusivity is part of who we are, so we encourage applications from all backgrounds, communities and industries and are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities.\nAt Schréder, we commit ourselves to co-creating an environment where passionate people work and win together, learn and have fun.
