Electronics Development Engineer (m/f/*)

For over 15 years, PIDSO has been developing high-performance communication solutions “Made in Austria” – built for environments where failure is not an option.

Our antenna and RF systems enable reliable data transmission and signal processing in mission-critical applications across aerospace, defense, motorsport, automotive, and Industry 4.0.

We combine research, development, manufacturing, and testing under one roof. Fast, focused, and with uncompromising attention to detail.

Location: Vienna

Division: R&D

Reporting Line: Head of R&D

Language: English (must), German (plus)

Tasks

The Mission

As an Electronics Development Engineer, you develop electronic assemblies from schematic design and component selection through PCB layout to prototype bring-up and verification.

Projects range from compact integration boards to complex FPGA/SoC-based mainboards for Radar and SATCOM systems. You will work closely with RF engineers, embedded software developers and mechanical designers to create robust, manufacturable hardware.

We are open to different levels of experience: experienced engineers can take end-to-end ownership, while motivated engineers earlier in their career will grow into that responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Circuit & PCB Design: Select components, create schematics, maintain component and footprint libraries, and design PCB layouts using Altium Designer.
• High-Speed, Power & EMC: Develop robust hardware with signal integrity, suitable power supply topologies and sequencing, thermal design and EMC in mind.
• Prototyping & Verification: Bring up and debug new hardware, perform measurements and modify prototypes using soldering iron, hot air and rework equipment.
• Manufacturing & Integration: Work with PCB manufacturers, assembly partners, RF engineers, embedded software developers and mechanical designers throughout development and production.
• Requirements & Quality: Work against environmental and system requirements, identify missing or conflicting constraints, document design decisions and verify the implemented hardware in an EN9100-oriented development environment.

Requirements

Your Profile

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications or a comparable field.
• Solid foundation in electronic circuit design and practical hardware development.
• Ability to understand interactions between electrical, thermal and mechanical design constraints.
• Hands-on engineering mindset and willingness to investigate problems directly on the hardware.
• Structured, curious and pragmatic approach to engineering, with the ability to question unclear requirements and take ownership of technical decisions.

Strong Plus

Experience in one or more of the following areas:

• RF / microwave electronics
• FPGA / SoC-based hardware
• High-speed digital design and signal integrity
• Spectrum analyzers, VNAs or advanced laboratory measurement equipment
• Aerospace, defence or another reliability-focused development environment

Benefits

Why Join Us?

At PIDSO, you don’t just design a PCB and hand it over. You develop electronics that become part of advanced antenna, Radar and SATCOM systems — from the first design decision to a tested, manufactured product.

You’ll work hands-on with sophisticated hardware, collaborate closely with specialists across RF, embedded software and mechanical engineering, and have the opportunity to take real technical ownership. Short decision paths and direct collaboration mean your ideas and engineering decisions have a visible impact on the final product.

What else you can expect:

• Flexible working hours and hybrid work
• Modern workplace in Vienna with excellent public transport connections
• Free parking directly at the company
• Subsidised lunch with a wide daily selection
• Regular team events and company activities
• International, highly skilled team with short decision paths
• A growing Austrian technology company working on demanding international projects

Real hardware. Real ownership. Engineering that goes beyond PCB layout.

Salary

For this position, the minimum salary according to the Kollektivvertrag Metallgewerbe (Verwendungsgruppe III, after 4 years) is € 3.109,21 gross per month, with a clear willingness to overpay based on your existing projects and technical skills.
