Founded in ****, Knog is a Melbourne design brand creating urban-flavoured tech for the road, trail, and outdoors. Urban to Knog is an attitude rather than a geography, representing modern, progressive, design-driven, and daring products. Despite their cycling heritage, Knog's products are not limited to the city or bikes, but aim to sprinkle urban flavor across cycling and outdoor gear.
Our Electronics Engineering team works across the full product lifecycle, collaborating closely with firmware, mechanical and industrial design, and production, to bring new products to life.
The role
We're looking for an Electronics Engineer who can contribute broadly across hardware design, testing, compliance and emerging product categories — working within a cross-disciplinary team that spans electronics, firmware, mechanical design and industrial design.
This is a hands-on role with real breadth. You'll be involved in developing products from early concept through to factory mass production, with the potential to shape how we approach new technology areas such as BT, Radar and GPS/cellular tracking — both under the Knog brand and our ungone tracker range.
What you'll work on
Hardware and testing
Design verification and production testing for our range of bike lights — low power evaluation, runtime, LED driver efficiency, brightness, USB charging and optics pre-testing
In-house testing with a focus on finding failure modes not captured in standard DVP processes, and driving improvements in test efficiency.
Review of factory DVT results, with interpretation and recommended remedial actions where needed.
Proof-of-concept prototyping during early-stage product development
Design and documentation
Preparing and maintaining electronics and firmware specification, DVP and production test documents for factory engineering teams
Managing document versions across outgoing specs and incoming factory engineering documents
Supporting compliance work including EMC, CE Red, Cyber Resilience Act requirements, battery directive tasks and battery certification records
BLE and connected products
Cybersecurity analysis
RF performance and range testing
Firmware and app validation testing
Collaborating with marketing and customer support on user experience and data analysis
What we're looking for
A degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with 3+ years of industry experience
Solid hands-on experience with embedded hardware — PCB design, component selection, bring-up and testing
Confidence working independently and driving tasks through to completion.
Experience with BLE or RF systems, or genuine interest in building that expertise
Familiarity with design verification and production test processes, ideally in a consumer electronics context
Comfort with Python or similar scripting for simulation, test automation or data analysis
Robust written communication for technical documentation released to factory engineering teams
Experience working with offshore manufacturers is an advantage
Interest in emerging areas — radar, vision systems, cellular/GPS — and enthusiasm for learning new technologies as our product range grows
The team and culture
At Knog, you'll sit within a cross-functional product team where electronics, firmware, mechanical design and industrial design all interact daily — and where decisions in one area directly shape the others. That means you'll develop a rounded understanding of how our products come together, not just deep expertise in a single layer.
We're a relatively small team, which means your contributions are visible and your input genuinely matters. You'll be able to follow the progress of products through design, prototyping and design validation through to mass production and product support.
