Overview
As a Hardware Design Engineer, you'll define hardware architecture and develop schematics and PCB layouts for high-end wearable devices. You'll work on HDI and EMC-compliant designs, contribute to manufacturing strategies, and collaborate with mechanics, firmware developers, and optics teams. The role requires 7+ years of hardware development experience, strong understanding of PCB manufacturing, and proficiency in schematic design. You'll be part of a small international team working on award-winning smart glasses technology in Vienna.
Description
Build the electronics that make smart glasses smart.
We build award-winning smart glasses in Vienna - hardware, firmware, software, all under one roof. At the core of it all is hardware: the circuits, the schematics, the PCBs that make everything possible. We're looking for an engineer who gets a kick out of solving complex electrical challenges in an incredibly compact form factor - and who wants to see their work sitting on someone's face.
This isn't generic electronics work. It's precise, complex, and genuinely cutting-edge.
## Tasks
**What You'll Be Doing**
- Define hardware architecture and identify key components for high-end wearable devices
- Design and develop schematics and PCB layouts with HDI and EMC-compliant design
- Contribute to design-for-manufacturing strategy for PCB-integrated systems in wearable glasses
- Drive hardware bring-up and support test device development
- Collaborate closely with mechanics, firmware developers, and optics - because our product is all of them at once
## Requirements
**What You Bring to the Team**
- A completed degree or vocational training (TU/FH/HTL) in electrical engineering, embedded systems, or a related field
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in hardware development
- Strong understanding of PCB manufacturing and assembly processes
- Proven experience in HDI electronic circuit development and EMC-compliant design
- Solid background in schematic design and component selection
- Basic knowledge of firmware and driver programming
- Fluent English; German is a bonus
**Nice to have**
- Proficiency with Altium Designer
- Experience with high-speed, flex-PCB, or thermal management circuits
- Experience with camera circuit design
- Familiarity with certification processes - especially EMC validation
