Hardware Engineer

<h2>About the Role</h2><p>The BMS is where software meets power. As our Hardware Engineer, you'll own the hardware side of the Anori BMS with a focus on the power stage: power electronics, cell connection and protection circuits. At the same time, you'll be our go-to person for hardware testing and make sure every board holds up under real-world conditions, from HiL test benches to stress tests and EMC pre-compliance. You'll work closely with Stefan, our CTO, and our firmware engineers to take the BMS from a tested prototype to a fully certified product. The technology is proven, the funding is secured, and the hardware decisions you make now will define how every future Anori BMS works.</p><p><strong>Start date</strong>: from January 1, 2027</p><h2>What You'll Do</h2><ul><li><p>Design and develop the power stage of our BMS: the highest power density on the market</p></li><li><p>Make the trade-off between performance, reliability, supply chain and price for each part</p></li><li><p>Build and run hardware tests: HiL setups, stress tests, HALTs and failure analysis</p></li><li><p>Plan and run EMC pre-compliance testing and prepare the path to conformity</p></li><li><p>Bring up new boards and debug them together with the firmware team</p></li><li><p>Contribute across the entire BMS hardware, wherever you are needed</p></li></ul><h2>What You Bring</h2><h3>Must have</h3><ul><li><p>Solid foundation in electrical engineering, from the schematic to the PCB.
