Full- stack Electronics Engineer

At Bloq.it, we’ve created the world’s leading smart locker solution. Solving online deliveries by enabling everyone to participate easily, reducing delivery costs and making them more sustainable.

We’re quickly expanding, and after growing at 1000% for three years in a row, we’re now the fastest-growing Smart Locker company in the world and one of the fastest growing scale-ups in Europe.

We are in search of an experienced Electronics Engineer to lead the design process of internal R&D electronics-related initiatives. The ideal candidate will have experience in building prototypes and MVP hardware products as a full-stack hardware engineer. This role sits inside that R&D team and will own full-stack electronics workstreams from exploratory research and PoC to functional prototypes and engineering handoff for industrialization.

What you’ll be doing: 

• Ownership of the development of electronics: end-to-end ownership of schematic capture, PCB design, BOM management, component lifecycle considerations, revision control and validation for R&D projects

• Conducting low-level firmware bring-ups, deliverables such as board bring-up logs, BSP/driver implementations, test scripts, debug reports and documented resolution of HW/FW integration issues

• Research & Feasibility Reports: architecture options, risks, cost/effort estimates and clear recommendations for whether and how to proceed

• Initial Industrialization BOM and draft manufacturing documentation: component selection, sourcing notes, and draft assembly/production instructions to enable early sourcing and cost modelling

• Engineering handoff package for delivery/industrialization teams: system architecture summary, key technical decisions, integration and test notes, known limitations and guidance for future iterations

• Researching new technologies applicable to our industry: targeted technology scouting and evaluation reports (maturity, integration feasibility, recommended PoC approach) for sensors, power architectures, connectivity and other relevant domains.

What you’ll bring to the table: 

• Master’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or Electronics Engineering (or a related field)

• 3+ years of experience in PCB layout and hardware development of embedded electronics products

• Proficient with Altium, KiCad or equivalent

• Experience in simulating electrical subsystems and circuits using LTSpice or similar tools

• Skilled in PCB layout and stack-up definition

• Experience with PCB circuit design using FPGAs and microprocessors

• Firmware bring-up of hardware: hands-on experience bringing up new boards and diagnosing HW/FW integration issues

• Familiarity with RTOS and embedded Linux

• Experience with vibe coding in real productized products

• Proven experience building prototypes and full MVP products, including selecting components, creating prototype BOMs, and supporting early production.

It would be great if you would also have:

• Experience with displays, camera modules, SoM/SoC and PMICs

• Knowledge in high-speed signaling (DisplayPort, CSI, MIPI, Ethernet, PCIe, HDMI, USB, etc.). - Experience in RF design and radio systems

• Experience in power electronics — DC/DC converters and board-level power supplies

• Experience with product certification procedures (EMC/EMI, CE, LVD, RoHS, REACH)

• Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360.

• Experience using Git & engineering workflow (branching strategies, PRs/code reviews, CI integration).
