As our new HW development engineer, you will join a growing team of currently 10 HW engineers and technical project leads. You will work closely with several internal development functions and long-term external development partners, in a collaborative environment where openness and creativity are core parts of our culture.

While you will support product development throughout the entire development lifecycle, your primary task will be to oversee the early-stage development activities at PCBA level. Once you have drafted the technical foundation (incl. schematics), you will work closely with long-term external development partners, to jointly bring your design from concept to production. Your focus will always be on the product and the magical experiences we want to bring to our customers.

Key responsibilities

Enables PCBA-level development.

Participates in product integration work.

Drives PCBA level simulations on e.g., signal- and power integrity.

Responsible for schematics hand-over and component library synchronization to ODM/partner, for them to carry out layout design.

Delivers PCBA-level verification plans, and support partners, who will carry out most of the verification and certification work. Some certification is still done in-house at B&O.

Takes ownership of and keeps selected design elements/technologies up to date.

Participates in or drives technology exploration projects.

Prototyping of internal engineering samples and dev. kits for e.g., SW and human interface design teams.

Occasionally supports maintenance tasks.
