Overview

Senior R&D Engineer – Hardware, Firmware & Mechanical Design

I am partnering with an innovative medical technology design centre based in Zug, to appoint a Senior R&D Engineer to lead their product development process. The company develops connected, sensor driven medical products, including IoT enabled devices that combine electronics, mechanics, and embedded software within a regulated, quality focused environment.

This is a truly hands on, end to end engineering role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of electronics hardware, mechanical design, and embedded firmware. You will play a central role in shaping product architecture, driving technical decisions, and supporting development from early concept through industrialisation and series production.

• Design and develop analog, digital, and microcontroller based electronic circuits
• Define EMC compliant PCB layout requirements, test prototypes, and support validation
• Create mechanical concepts and full product architectures aligned with customer requirements
• Deliver detailed mechanical designs with simulations, including thermal and tolerance analysis
• Design for manufacturing using plastics, injection molding, sheet metal, and die casting
• Develop embedded software and firmware in C/C++, including architecture, coding, testing, and validation
• Own documentation, design controls, and handover to series manufacturing
• Collaborate closely with international design centres and cross functional stakeholders

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related discipline
• At least five years of industry experience within regulated or quality driven environments
• Strong multidisciplinary background across electronics, mechanical design, and embedded software
• Practical experience with Autodesk Fusion for mechanical design
• Confident use of electronic lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and VNAs
• Fluency in English and German, written and spoken
• Structured, analytical mindset with strong problem solving skills

• Exposure to innovative, connected medical products with real world impact
• A modern, secure working environment in Canton Zug
• International collaboration with flat hierarchies and short decision paths
• Ongoing training and development within a technically strong engineering culture
