Position Title: Advanced Concept Prototyper Duration: Contract Location: Gothenburg, Sweden Description of the assignment Hardware and Firmware Prototyper working across various projects with a focus on physical prototypes To be part of the Model & Fabrication ACM Team to support the Advanced Design Teams of the Client. As part of the Advanced Concept Model Team you will work closely with designers in the UX/HMI, Interior and Exterior Design teams with a focus on physical prototype design and build, to support and evaluate Design concepts. The core of assignments for this role consists of taking high level optical/ electrical design requirements or concepts from the HMI team and then sourcing and evaluating hardware sensor/actuator/component datasheets for suitability. After identifying the necessary hardware (including reverse engineering existing hardware where appropriate), you will work with a broader engineering team to resolve optical, electrical & software challenges so the design can be rapidly prototyped, often using in-house tools and equipment. Finally, hands on expertise will be required to build, assemble and commission your own prototypes, including developing the necessary firmware, electronics (wiring & PCB) and mechanical assembly, iterating the design where necessary. The resulting prototypes should adequately test the original requirements, identify new technology opportunities and all within rapid iteration cycles Qualifications and skills required for the role Relevant experience in most of the following: Open Source Hardware / IDE: Arduino, Raspberry Pi Solid experience with Source code editor as VS Code or similar. Microcontrollers: 8bit - 32bit (ARM Cortex, Atmel, Espressif) Peripherals: I2C, SPI, GPIO, DAC, ADC, Stepper Controllers, PWM, H-bridge, TTL-Serial Familiar with PCB design tools as Kicad, Eagle or similar Embedded-C, C++, Python 5 years combined electronics / firmware / product development experience with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping Minimum of 3 years in an embedded or product development environment with an emphasis on rapid, iterative prototyping Knowledge of CAN/LIN communication is a merit. Personal attributes Good Communication Skills Honest Technically Competent Good Work Ethic Flexible Determined and Persistent Team Collaborative Willing to Share and Learn new methods Creative and innovative but structured, methodical and analytical with good planning skills
