Electrical Engineer - Camera

The role

You will design, bring up, test, and refine electronics for camera modules, gimbals, and imaging payloads. You will take ownership of circuits and boards from schematic through bring-up and into production.

What you will do

• Design schematics and drive PCB, flex, and rigid-flex layouts
• Design and integrate image sensors, camera interfaces, and supporting electronics
• Design power circuits for gimbals and cameras
• Select components against electrical, thermal, size, lifecycle, and supply-chain requirements
• Perform circuit analysis and simulation including power budgets and thermal estimates
• Work with layout team and fab vendors on stackups and DFM feedback
• Bring up new boards and characterize performance using lab equipment
• Design test fixtures, tester and adapter boards, and measurement setups
• Investigate electrical and electromechanical failures and find root causes
• Support EMC, environmental, and reliability testing

Required qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of industry experience designing electronics for physical products
• Hands-on experience taking boards from schematic capture through layout, bring-up, and debug
• Good knowledge of power electronics, mixed-signal design, and digital interfaces such as I²C, SPI, and UART
• Practical lab skills with oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and similar equipment
• Ability to read datasheets carefully, justify component choices, and document test methods and results clearly
• A detail-oriented, methodical approach to debugging, characterization, and failure analysis
• Ability to work well across mechanical, optical, firmware, reliability, manufacturing, and supplier teams
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced product-development environment
• A strong interest in cameras, robotics, drones, or imaging systems
• Experience with Cadence OrCAD/Allegro or similar industry-standard tools
• Experience in communicating requirements clearly to suppliers throughout the project lifecycle

Nice to have

• Experience designing flex or rigid-flex circuits, including stackups, impedance control, and DFM
• Experience with image sensors, MIPI camera interfaces, or camera modules
• Signal and power integrity analysis or simulation
• EMC, environmental, or reliability testing
• Experience on quick prototyping paths in electronics development
• Qualifying second sources or component alternates
• Scripting experience (e.g. Python) for test automation and data analysis

Benefits

• Competitive base salaries
• Equity in the form of stock options
• Comprehensive benefits packages
• Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles
• Statutory benefits in accordance with Finnish law
