Senior Electronics Practical Engineer

About the role

Description We are looking for a Senior Electronics Practical Engineer to join our R&D team and play a key role in bringing our BeeHome robotic hive systems from development to mass production. This is a highly hands-on role, working closely with mechanical, software, NPI, QA, and operations teams on integration, debugging, and production readiness of complex electromechanical systems. 🌍 At Beewise, we’re on a mission to save the world - one bee at a time. With bee populations in global decline, we develop cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of robotics, AI, and environmental science to protect pollinators and preserve biodiversity. We’re a team of engineers, scientists, and innovators using technology for good - shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. If you’re looking to lead meaningful technology with real-world impact, we’d love to have you on board. What You'll Do • Integrate electronic systems into robotic machines, including embedded boards, motion, communication, and power systems • Debug and troubleshoot analog and digital boards at component and system levels • Design, document, and support cable harnesses for production (schematics, pinouts, routing, labeling) • Lead design transfer to manufacturing, including BOMs, documentation, and ongoing production support • Design and build test setups, fixtures, and validation tools for development and production • Support existing board designs and new product revisions • Work closely with subcontractors, manufacturers, and assembly partners • Perform root-cause analysis on production and field failures and drive corrective actions • Collaborate with R&D, mechanical, software, QA, and operations teams throughout the product lifecycle Requirements • Certified Electronics Practical Engineer (Diploma) • 7+ years of hands-on experience in practical electronics engineering roles • Strong experience in hands-on debugging and proving (POD) of analog and digital circuits • Proven experience integrating electronics into complex multidisciplinary systems (robotics, automation, industrial equipment, etc.) • Experience with cable and harness design for production environments • Familiarity with manufacturing processes, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability) • Ability to read and modify electrical schematics and layouts • Practical, problem-solving mindset with strong troubleshooting skills • Experience supporting products in mass production and field deployments • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment
