Electronics Engineer

Freshape is an innovation-driven company designing and engineering the next generation of sustainable technologies. Within our Natural Interaction division, we are developing consumer hardware products that rethink how people interact with technology, making it more human, more present, and less intrusive.

We are looking for a highly motivated Electronics Engineer to join our team in our brand-new offices in

Renens, in the Lausanne area

.

You will work on a flagship consumer hardware product currently in active development, designing, prototyping, and validating compact electronic systems that integrate optoelectronics, image sensors, microcontrollers, wireless communication, and power-management modules.

This position is 100% on-site.

YOUR MISSION

• Design, prototype and bring to life the electronics of a highly miniaturized, battery-powered consumer device, using rigid, flex and rigid-flex PCBs.

• Integrate optoelectronics, sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, wireless communication and power-management modules in close collaboration with mechanical and embedded teams.

• Own board bring-up, debugging and iterative validation of prototypes, from schematic through layout to a working board.

• Drive low-power and power-integrity design: battery, PMIC/charging, fuel-gauge, peak-current budgeting and brown-out behaviour for small-cell, high-burst loads.

• Qualify PCBA prototypes against system requirements, evaluate, select and test electronic components.

• Develop and continuously improve hardware validation, testing and quality assurance processes from prototype to production.

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation to support product development and manufacturing.

• Collaborate closely with other R&D members, including embedded system, firmware, and optomechanical engineers. Contribute to system specifications to optimize lead times, development, and cost.

• Manage certification follow-up with external laboratories and regulatory bodies, from pre-compliance testing through final product approval.

• Support product industrialization through close collaboration with manufacturing partners, ensuring manufacturability, assembly robustness and production readiness.

• Participate in electronics design reviews.

• Research and scout new technical solutions for current and/or next versions of product.

YOUR PROFILE

• Bachelor's (HES/FH) or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems Engineering, or a related field

• 3+ years of hands-on experience developing consumer electronic products

• Demonstrated experience in some of the fields : digital and analogue hardware development for battery operated devices, including sensors, optoelectronics, actuators, microcontrollers, wireless communication and power supply

• Solid low-power / power-management design experience: battery, PMIC/charging, fuel-gauge and current-budget optimization

• Experience with PCB design software, preferably Altium Designer

• Ability to perform PCB rework, component replacement and hardware modifications during debugging and validation

• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing constraints (multi-layer, flex, HDI) and standards

• Ability to take responsibility for tasks and problems, provide solutions, anticipate risks and understand their impact on other hardware/software components

• Excellent problem solving and communication skills

• Fluent in English

WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY (NOW)?

• Purpose & Impact: Join a creative, international team working on meaningful projects that combine sustainability, design, and cutting-edge technology. Your ideas will directly shape future products with real environmental impact.

• Innovation & Collaboration: Work closely with R&D in a multidisciplinary environment. Our modern offices and laboratories in Renens and Ecublens (Lausanne area) are designed to foster creativity and collaboration.

• Growth & Recognition: Take ownership and grow with us. Most of our managers were promoted internally. We value initiative, reward creativity, and offer fast internal development opportunities. You’ll also have access to LinkedIn Learning, fully covered by the company, to support both your professional development and personal interests.

• Work-Life Balance & Benefits: Enjoy 25 days of paid vacation annually, plus 2 additional company-paid days off during the Christmas holiday period. We also fully reimburse public transport costs within the Lausanne area, supporting both your well-being and green mobility.
