📋 Description

• Design electronics for ball and player tag products from architecture through production • Design architecture for sealed, wirelessly charged, battery-powered products, including power and energy budgets, charging, radio and antenna strategy, sensing, and data offload • Decompose product-level requirements into electronic requirements and document assumptions • Lead schematic design and PCB layout for high-performance, low-power embedded systems using Altium • Lead inductive charging, radio integration, and electromagnetic compatibility work • Design the certification route at concept stage • Integrate antenna solutions on real boards, tune matching, and measure performance • Support on-site bring-up of designs • Validate designs in laboratories and live field environments with teams and athletes • Report measured behaviour against design intent and document deviations • Capture design intent, considered alternatives, and rejected options • Participate in design reviews and track findings through verified closure in released files • Design for manufacture and test from the start • Produce fabrication and assembly packs and support handover to the contract manufacturer • Maintain a BOM risk view covering lifecycle status, lead times, and second sources for critical parts • Provide effort estimates for each engagement phase and work against written approval

🎯 Requirements

• Degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering or a related field • 6+ years in electronics design for low-power, embedded MCU-based products • At least two products personally taken from concept through to volume production • Proven schematic design and PCB layout in Altium • Mixed-signal design in a severely space, mass, power and cost constrained battery-powered product • Strong electronic debug and analysis skills, and the discipline to separate what you measured from what you expected • Design-for-manufacture handover to a contract manufacturer, including the fab and assembly pack, done personally • Nice-to-have: RF and microwave design experience up to X-band, including UWB, GNSS, Bluetooth or NFC • Nice-to-have: Antenna integration and matching on real hardware • Nice-to-have: A PCA that survives repeated high-acceleration impact, or equivalent shock and vibration duty • Nice-to-have: Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 / nRF53 / nRF54 series host design • Nice-to-have: High-rate IMU selection, calibration and data-offload architecture • Nice-to-have: Certification processes (CE, FCC, UKCA) and familiarity with CISPR 11 / EN 55011, FCC Part 15, EN 300 328, EN 302 065 • Nice-to-have: Rigid-flex, flex, or module and antenna-in-package integration • Nice-to-have: Experience in sports technology or other rugged, real-world embedded applications

🏖️ Benefits

• A route to a permanent position if it suits both sides • Work at the cutting edge of sports technology, on products that are changing how fans, players, and coaches experience the game • A hard, well-defined technical problem with real constraints, a small team, and no layer between your engineering and the outcome • Designs tested and validated directly with elite athletes and teams • Clear scope, defined gates and prompt decisions
