Job description
Position Title: Advanced Concept Prototyper
Duration: Contract
Location: Gothenburg, Sweden
Description of the assignment
- Hardware and Firmware Prototyper working across various projects with a focus on physical prototypes
- To be part of the Model & Fabrication ACM Team to support the Advanced Design Teams of the Client.
- As part of the Advanced Concept Model Team you will work closely with designers in the UX/HMI, Interior and Exterior Design teams with a focus on physical prototype design and build, to support and evaluate Design concepts.
- The core of assignments for this role consists of taking high level optical/ electrical design requirements or concepts from the HMI team and then sourcing and evaluating hardware sensor/actuator/component datasheets for suitability.
- After identifying the necessary hardware (including reverse engineering existing hardware where appropriate), you will work with a broader engineering team to resolve optical, electrical & software challenges so the design can be rapidly prototyped, often using in-house tools and equipment.
- Finally, hands on expertise will be required to build, assemble and commission your own prototypes, including developing the necessary firmware, electronics (wiring & PCB) and mechanical assembly, iterating the design where necessary.
- The resulting prototypes should adequately test the original requirements, identify new technology opportunities and all within rapid iteration cycles
Qualifications and skills required for the role
- Relevant experience in most of the following:
- Open Source Hardware / IDE: Arduino, Raspberry Pi
- Solid experience with Source code editor as VS Code or similar.
- Microcontrollers: 8bit - 32bit (ARM Cortex, Atmel, Espressif)
- Peripherals: I2C, SPI, GPIO, DAC, ADC, Stepper Controllers, PWM, H-bridge, TTL-Serial
- Familiar with PCB design tools as Kicad, Eagle or similar
- Embedded-C, C++, Python
- 5 years combined electronics / firmware / product development experience with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping
- Minimum of 3 years in an embedded or product development environment with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping
- Knowledge of CAN/LIN communication is a merit.
Personal attributes
- Good Communication Skills
- Honest
- Technically Competent
- Good Work Ethic
- Flexible
- Determined and Persistent
- Team Collaborative
- Willing to Share and Learn new methods
- Creative and innovative but structured, methodical and analytical with good planning skills.
