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.
