If so, we have the perfect role for you. GreaseBoss, winner of the Advanced Technology award at the Sunshine Coast Business Awards for three consecutive years, has created an opportunity for a Hardware Engineer to join our team.

As a Hardware Engineer, you will work closely with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Production, and Customer Success to design, test, and optimise hardware solutions. Your work will ensure seamless integration with firmware and software, drive product reliability, and support manufacturing handover, making a direct impact on customer satisfaction and product success.

Duties

• Design and develop hardware components for industrial IoT products, focusing on performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Collaborate with the Embedded Systems Engineer to ensure smooth integration between hardware and firmware.
• Work with the production team to optimise designs for manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
• Support the Customer Success team in investigating and resolving hardware-related technical issues.
• Conduct hardware testing and validation to ensure compliance with performance, safety, and quality standards.
• Document hardware designs and workflows to support assembly, testing, and manufacturing processes.
• Identify and implement improvements to hardware designs based on testing, field performance, and customer feedback.
• Contribute to the implementation of the product roadmap by supporting the development of new hardware features.

Responsibilities

• Ensure hardware designs meet performance, cost, and quality requirements for production and deployment.
• Prepare detailed design documentation to facilitate smooth manufacturing handover and production workflows.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues during design, testing, and production stages.
• Collaborate with the engineering and production teams to develop and validate solutions for product improvements.
• Work with customer success to provide timely technical support and ensure high service standards for customers.

Key Performance Metrics

• Delivery of hardware components in line with the product roadmap and project timelines.
• Successful integration of hardware designs with firmware and production workflows.
• Resolution of hardware-related customer issues within defined SLAs.
• Quality and completeness of documentation to support internal and external stakeholders.
• Positive contributions to team collaboration and project outcomes.

Desired Skills

• Strong proficiency in PCB design and layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCAD, Eagle).
• Experience with circuit design, analog/digital electronics, and embedded hardware.
• Understanding of design-for-manufacture (DFM) principles and production workflows.
• Familiarity with firmware development (e.g., C/C++) for hardware integration.
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues using testing tools like oscilloscopes and logic analysers.
• Knowledge of industrial IoT protocols and technologies (e.g., BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE-M).
• Hands-on experience with hardware prototyping and PCB prototype assembly.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with a detail-oriented approach.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills to work with cross-functional teams.
• Experience with regulatory compliance standards (e.g., EMC, CE, UL) is a bonus.
