* Collaborate closely with hardware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams
* Support design reviews, troubleshooting, and prototype validation
What We’re Looking For
* Strong, hands-on PCB design experience using Altium Designer (non-negotiable)
* Proven track record delivering complex, multi-layer, high-speed and power PCBs
* Solid understanding of signal integrity, power distribution, and thermal management
* Knowledge of design for manufacturability and testability best practices
* Familiarity with IEC-62368-1 safety standards (creepage and clearance)
* Degree in Electronics / Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
* Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Why Join?
* Work on cutting-edge technology enabling global undersea communications
* Be part of a supportive, inclusive engineering team
* Hybrid working model: 3 days on-site
* Initial 6-month contract
