Electronics Design Engineer

Join a PerkinElmer company - Perten, a trusted leader in scientific solutions - and contribute to our mission of innovating for a healthier world. Be part of a dedicated team that values collaboration and delivers solutions to meet critical customer needs.

About the role

As an Electronics Design Engineer, you will play a key role in both sustaining and modernizing our existing portfolio of analytical instruments used in the food and grain industries. This senior-level role involves working across the entire product lifecycle - from R&D and development to implementation in production and long-term sustaining.

You will be responsible for implementing technical improvements, managing component end-of-life (EOL), and ensuring regulatory compliance. The products are technically complex, requiring a solid foundation in electronics and a strong understanding of how hardware and software interact.

This is a hands-on role where you will work directly with instruments and circuit boards in a lab environment, collaborating closely with colleagues in software, mechanics, and product management.

Work tasks

Drive modernization and technical upgrades of existing products.

Manage the full product lifecycle, including sustaining, EOL handling, and production support.

Develop and update electronic circuit boards with digital and analog components (e.g., carrier boards, DC-DC converters, motor drivers, AD converters, LED drivers).

Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory standards.

Perform debugging and repairs at the PCBA level using oscilloscopes, signal generators, and other lab tools.

Participate in verification and documentation for production.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software, applications, and product management.

Contribute to basic firmware development, with or without RTOS.

We are looking for

Post-secondary education in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.

Proven experience in PCBA design from concept to volume production.

Proficiency in Altium Designer or similar eCAD tools.

Strong hardware debugging skills.

Ability to produce test and verification documentation for production.

Experience with communication protocols: SPI, I2C, USB, UART, DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet, SATA, MODBUS.

Solid understanding of EMC, ESD, and electrical safety standards.

Meriting qualifications:

Experience with opto-electronics, microcontrollers, digital signal processing, and embedded systems.

Experience with FPGA.

Experience in cable and connector selection.

Ability to lead smaller projects.

Background in larger organizations or manufacturing industries.

Swedish language skills.

Personal qualities

To thrive in this role, you are a structured and responsible individual who enjoys working independently while also being a strong team player. You have a keen eye for detail and the ability to see the bigger picture - from technical solutions to their impact on the product lifecycle.

You are curious, solution-oriented, and motivated by continuous improvement. Your flexibility and willingness to take on a variety of tasks are essential in our small but efficient team.
