You will work closely with senior leadership in engineering,
contributing to the full product lifecycle — from concept through to validation
— in a highly technical, hands -on environment.

 

Role Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of contactless
    hardware solutions for use in secure transaction environments

  • Design, build, and refine RF -based
    components, including antenna structures and supporting circuitry

  • Take ownership of prototyping activities,
    driving continuous improvements through iterative development

  • Conduct detailed testing and analysis to
    ensure product performance meets industry and regulatory requirements

  • Evaluate and interpret technical
    standards relevant to contactless technologies and payment schemes

  • Support integration and compatibility
    with terminal infrastructure and external systems

  • Perform a wide range of lab -based
    testing, including RF characterisation and physical product validation

 

Experience & Background

 

Core Requirements

  • Degree -qualified in a relevant discipline
    such as Electronic Engineering, Applied Physics, or similar

  • Strong grounding in analogue and RF
    electronics

  • Practical experience working with
    contactless or wireless technologies

  • Confident using specialist RF measurement
    tools (e.g. network analysers or similar equipment)

  • Experience working with engineering
    design tools for schematics and mechanical layouts

  • Strong analytical mindset with the
    ability to troubleshoot complex technical challenges

  • High level of accuracy and attention to
    detail in both design and testing environments

 

Nice to Have

  • Experience developing or optimising
    antenna solutions for high -frequency applications

  • Exposure to NFC or contactless payment
    technologies

  • Familiarity with photonics or laser -based
    processes

  • Previous involvement in regulated or
    standards -driven product environments
