About EGIDE

EGIDE is building a new European defense leader focused on scalable, intelligent, air-defense architectures. We develop mass-use interceptors and mission systems that combine missile-grade performance with modern embedded computing and advanced autonomy.

We are growing fast and assembling a world-class technical team driven by ambition, engineering rigor, and real operational impact. If you want to help shape the future of European defense innovation — this is the place.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to lead the design, prototyping, validation, and industrialization of advanced embedded electronic boards. The role focuses on high-performance computing architectures (CPU/GPU/FPGA-based systems) and associated power electronics subsystems.

You will be involved throughout the full product lifecycle, from system architecture definition to production ramp-up, working closely with mechanical, embedded software, and system engineers.

What You’ll Do

1. Electronic System Architecture & Design

• Define electronic architectures for embedded computing systems

• Design and integrate power electronics stages

• Perform schematic capture, component selection, and PCB stack-up definition

2. Prototyping & Validation

• Support PCB layout reviews with focus on high-speed and power constraints

• Define and execute bring-up procedures for prototypes

• Develop validation plans and conduct electrical testing

3. Industrialization & Production Support

• Prepare designs for manufacturing

• Collaborate with contract manufacturers for prototype and pre-series builds

• Support production ramp-up and resolve field-return analysis when required

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with embedded software team to ensure hardware/software co-design

• Interface with mechanical engineers for enclosure integration and thermal management

• Participate in customer technical discussions and technical reviews

You Are a Fit If You Have:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field

• 5+ years of experience in advanced electronic board design

• Experience with multi-layer PCB design

• Proficiency with ECAD tools (Altium, Cadence, or equivalent)

• Hands-on lab experience in debugging and validation

• Understanding of EMI/EMC constraints in embedded systems

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of GPU-based embedded computing platforms

• Experience with safety-critical or mission-critical systems

• Previous experience in a start-up or fast-paced R&D environment

Why Join EGIDE?

• Build the future of European defense capability

• Work on real systems that fly — fast

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity

• 100% health coverage

• A high-autonomy engineering culture

• A chance to shape a category-defining company from the ground up
