Your mission
Transforming Manufacturing
Quantica is an additive manufacturing technology company that has developed its own printhead technology. Our novel printhead technology enables professionals to print using functional materials previously deemed impossible.
As part of our team you will be at the forefront of additive manufacturing technology, paving the way for the future.
Your profile
We are looking for a practical, hands-on Electronics Engineer to join our growing hardware team in Barcelona for systems that require robust, high-performance embedded electronics - built from scratch and validated through deep iteration.
This is a lab-heavy, tool-in-hand role for someone who enjoys not just designing boards but getting them to work in the real world - probing signals, fixing layout issues, replacing components under a microscope, and rapidly iterating designs.
What You´ll Be Doing:Own PCB designs from schematic to layout to bench validation for real-time embedded control systems (MCUs, drivers, sensors)
Build, rework, and debug prototype boards - including soldering, hot-air reflow, and patch wiring for last-minute changes
Systematically investigate and solve board-level issues using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and signal generators
Collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams to bring up systems and integrate electronics into functional prototypes
Prepare BOMs, layout notes, and clearly documented test reports
Validate electronics in the context of complex systems - identify electrical issues, fix them, and document learnings
Support in-house prototype assembly and iterate quickly between board versions
Provide design-for-debug input and improve testability of production boards
What You Bring:A degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent practical experience
2-4 years of industry experience working on embedded hardware designs
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Eagle preferred)
Comfort and confidence with hands-on rework: soldering 0603 passives, reflowing fine-pitch ICs, or patching traces on a prototype board
Experience testing microcontroller-based systems and common interfaces like SPI, I2C, UART, USB
Ability to identify and fix signal integrity or power-related issues using test equipment
Basic understanding of embedded firmware flows - able to flash and interact with firmware during bring-up
A willingness to iterate, debug, and get hardware into a working, testable state
What We Value additionally:Experience with ARM Cortex microcontrollers
Knowledge of EMI/EMC practices, protection circuitry, or certification prep
Experience working on motor control, sensor integration, or Ethernet hardware
Exposure to test automation or scripting for board validation
You Will Fit Great If:
You are a natural problem solver and thinker - comfortable probing unknown circuits and figuring things out
You get satisfaction from making hardware work - and even more when you fix something that didn’t
You thrive in environments where prototypes evolve weekly and no two board spins are alike
- You believe hardware development is not done until it works on the bench and in the proto not just in CAD
