Hardware Engineer (Base development) (m/f/x)

We are the Global CleanTech100 company and European market leader in ultracapacitors and graphene-based energy-storage systems. Skeleton has grown from 4 people to over 300 and has raised 200 million EUR financing to scale up manufacturing and execute the ambitious technology road map from high energy ultracapacitors to Superbatteries.

Skeleton Technologies is already successfully delivering products to leading customers ranging from Škoda, Danfoss, Medcom, and Wrightbus to leading German Automotives and European Space Agency. The company's current ultracapacitors have the highest power density in the market and the technology is mature evidence by strong customer contracts and IATF 16949 automotive certification.

But we have achieved only 0.1% of our potential. In order to achieve the 99.9%, we are hiring a Hardware Engineer (m/f/x) who truly believes that the world needs Special Forces to fight climate change and reduce CO2 emissions. Come be part of our Electrical Engineering base development team! You would be responsible for designing energy storage system related electronics, such as capacitor management systems, or parts of it, according to standards, and internal and industry requirements.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Electronics functionality definition based on system-level functionality and requirements.
• Electronics requirements definition based on defined functionality, industry requirements, standards, and price targets.
• Requirements compliance tracking throughout the development process and providing necessary proof of requirements being met.
• Risk analysis and assessment for defined requirements (FMEA, FTA).
• Reliability and redundancy analysis.
• Electronics concept creation based on required functionality and requirements.
• Component selection based on requirements and cost targets.
• Schematic, PCB layout, wiring, and connections design to meet functional, EMC/EMI, environmental, mechanical, mass production, and cost requirements.
• Electrical simulations and testing to verify the correct behavior of the designed electronics.
• DFM (design for manufacturability) and DFT (design for testing) with electronics manufacturers, composing production documentation.
• Assuring hardware quality through ad hoc testing, design validation testing, writing test specifications, and cooperation with test engineers.
• Electronics documentation through design logs, reports, whitepapers, and user/integrators manuals.
• Electronics and product improvements based on 8Ds, customer feedback, internal testing, and industry trends.
• Participate closely in product design through cooperation with other departments.
• Instruct and supervise the manufacturing of our products if needed.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of work experience in electronics design for at least small series products (100+ devices per year).
• Previous experience with working in multidisciplinary project teams (software, hardware, mechanics, testing, production).
• Experience with: schematic design and strong knowledge of electronic components; PCB layout design; Electronics simulation; Basic prototyping and testing skills.
• Experienced in Altium designer or similar ECAD.
• Experience with LTspice, Matlab, or similar simulation program.
• Creating reports in MS Office; Basic data analysis skills in Excel or similar tool.
• Bachelor or master's degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Electrical engineering, or Embedded systems.
• Good verbal and written English is a must.
• You are achievement-oriented, self-disciplined, problem-solver, detail-oriented, open to new ideas, and willing to learn.
