Who are we?

At Reach Robotics, our vision is to extend human reach into harsh environments. We do this through our innovative development and manufacturing of advanced subsea robotic manipulator arms.

About the Role

- We are seeking a hands-on Electronics Engineer with 3–5 years of product development experience to support the design, development, and delivery of high-performance embedded hardware systems for integrated electromechanical products.

- This role sits at the critical intersection of prototype and production, contributing to real-world products across the full lifecycle from concept and schematic capture through to validation and release into manufacture.

- You will work closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical, firmware/software, and manufacturing, integrating motor drives, sensors, actuators and communication interfaces into finished products.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and integrate electronics for electromechanical systems including motor control, sensor interfaces, communication networks and embedded controllers.

- Support system integration, debugging and verification across electronics, firmware and mechanical subsystems.

- Contribute to design decisions balancing electrical performance, thermal management, EMC, manufacturability, reliability and serviceability.

- Contribute across the full product development lifecycle (PDLC): requirements, concepts, design, review, prototyping, verification, validation and production.

- Design and develop electronic circuits and PCB layouts (schematic capture through to board bring-up). Perform bench testing, debugging, verification and validation using appropriate lab equipment.

- Apply design-for-manufacture (DFM), test (DFT), and reliability principles





- Participate / lead design reviews and develop & maintain technical documentation.

Essential Skills & Experience

- Approximately 3–5 years’ experience in electronics or embedded hardware engineering for finished commercial, medical technology (med-tech) or industrial products.

- Experience with power electronics, motor drive systems or motion-control electronics, including power conversion and motor control.

- Experience integrating sensors, actuators and embedded hardware into complete electromechanical products.

- Familiarity with EMC/EMI, compliance, and reliability

- Strong experience in schematic design and PCB layout (preferably using Altium or similar tools)

- Experience with high-speed or communication interfaces (Ethernet, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB)

- Solid foundation in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design

- Hands-on experience with hardware debugging and validation

- Experience contributing to the development of finished commercial products through prototype, verification and production release.

- Experience integrating hardware with embedded firmware, motor controllers and communication interfaces during system bring-up and debugging.

- Strong collaboration and documentation skills (including V&V; reports, Work Instructions and so on)

Desired (Nice to Have) Experience

- Experience developing robotics,



industrial automation, medical devices, aerospace, automotive, drones, AGVs or other motion-control products would be highly regarded.

- Experience designing electronics for compact or space-constrained products, considering thermal management, EMI/EMC and serviceability.

- Experience with industrial communication networks (e.g. CAN, EtherCAT or Industrial Ethernet) is advantageous.

- Knowledge of DFM, DFA, and DFT practices

- Exposure to manufacturing, production support, or field testing

- Basic programming skills (C/C++/Python)

What We’re Looking For

- Candidates should have experience developing integrated electromechanical products involving motors, sensors, embedded electronics and firmware, rather than standalone electronic modules.

- A practical, hands-on engineer who enjoys solving real-world hardware challenges

- Able to balance technical performance, reliability, manufacturability and delivery when making engineering decisions.

- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, product-focused environment

- Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset

- Strong team collaboration skills

Why you should join our team

- Supportive team environment.

- Diverse and collaborative workplace culture.

- Competitive salary based on your experience.

- Qualified learning and development opportunities.

- Role growth driven by your degree of motivation and skills.

- Opportunity to work collaboratively with external research organisations and institutions.
