I am recruiting for a Lead Hardware Engineer for my client, a rapidly scaling Green-Tech leader in the e-mobility sector. With 150 employees—30 of whom are in R&D in Berlin—the company combines the agile, high-impact spirit of a startup with the security of a successful, international business.

This role is for a true Senior professional. You will join a hardware team consisting of a Team Lead, an Industrial Designer, and two Electronics Engineers, with plans to hire two more. We are looking for someone who can "own" projects from initial requirements to mass production.

• Project Ownership: Take full technical responsibility for features, from clarifying requirements to final delivery, for both in-house chargers and partner-specific stacks.
• Architecture & Design: Architect mixed-signal embedded systems for AC mains applications, including schematic design, component selection, and HDI PCB layout.
• Compliance & Validation: Lead simulation and lab validation while ensuring compliance with IEC, UL, and EMC standards.
• Cross-functional Lead: Coordinate closely with Firmware, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufacturing teams.
• Independence: Work with a high degree of autonomy; your ability to self-organize and communicate risks or progress proactively is essential.

·         Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience: 5+ years in embedded hardware development with a proven track record of bringing products to market.
• Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of MCU/ARM/SoC architectures, analog/digital electronics, and EDA tools.
• Hands-on Skills: Proficiency with lab equipment (VNAs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers) for debugging and prototype bring-up.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional communication and organizational skills are a must. You should be comfortable leading projects without micromanagement.
• Languages: Excellent English (company language).

Nice-to-Have

• Background in RF design (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE).
• Industry experience in power conversion or automotive sectors.

• The Environment: A newly renovated office with a stocked kitchen (plenty of snacks and yogurts) and a flat hierarchy.
• Mobility: Access to company test cars that can be used for personal trips on weekends.
• Culture: A collaborative team environment with regular BBQs, volleyball games, and team events.
• Personal Growth: Free German language classes, mental well-being support, and significant employee discounts.
• Impact: A high degree of freedom to shape core technologies in a growing R&D department.
