Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Electronics Practical Engineer role stands out in the SaaS ecosystem because it sits at the increasingly common intersection of software-led business models and hardware-enabled product delivery. Even though the work is rooted in electronics and production engineering, the listing signals a product organisation where embedded systems, connectivity, and operational reliability are tightly coupled to the customer experience, a pattern seen in SaaS-adjacent robotics and automation platforms.
For a long-term SaaS career, the value is in learning how complex systems move from R&D into repeatable deployment. Experience with design for manufacturability and testability, field failure analysis, and cross-functional integration translates well to SaaS companies that operate at scale, where uptime, observability, and incident-driven improvement are central. The emphasis on documentation, test setups, and production readiness also builds durable skills in operational excellence rather than one-off prototyping.
This position fits professionals who prefer hands-on problem solving and end-to-end ownership across development, manufacturing interfaces, and post-deployment support. It will suit someone comfortable collaborating across mechanical, software, QA, and operations, and who wants their technical decisions to influence real-world system performance over time.

- Full-time, Salaried
Description
We are looking for a Senior Electronics Practical Engineer to join our R&D team and play a key role in bringing our BeeHome robotic hive systems from development to mass production.
This is a highly hands-on role, working closely with mechanical, software, NPI, QA, and operations teams on integration, debugging, and production readiness of complex electromechanical systems.
🌍 At Beewise, we’re on a mission to save the world - one bee at a time.
With bee populations in global decline, we develop cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of robotics, AI, and environmental science to protect pollinators and preserve biodiversity.
We’re a team of engineers, scientists, and innovators using technology for good - shaping the future of sustainable agriculture.
If you’re looking to lead meaningful technology with real-world impact, we’d love to have you on board.
What You'll Do
- Integrate electronic systems into robotic machines, including embedded boards, motion, communication, and power systems
- Debug and troubleshoot analog and digital boards at component and system levels
- Design, document, and support cable harnesses for production (schematics, pinouts, routing, labeling)
- Lead design transfer to manufacturing, including BOMs, documentation, and ongoing production support
- Design and build test setups, fixtures, and validation tools for development and production
- Support existing board designs and new product revisions
- Work closely with subcontractors, manufacturers, and assembly partners
- Perform root-cause analysis on production and field failures and drive corrective actions
- Collaborate with R&D, mechanical, software, QA, and operations teams throughout the product lifecycle
Requirements
- Certified Electronics Practical Engineer (Diploma)
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in practical electronics engineering roles
- Strong experience in hands-on debugging and proving (POD) of analog and digital circuits
- Proven experience integrating electronics into complex multidisciplinary systems (robotics, automation, industrial equipment, etc.)
- Experience with cable and harness design for production environments
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability)
- Ability to read and modify electrical schematics and layouts
- Practical, problem-solving mindset with strong troubleshooting skills
- Experience supporting products in mass production and field deployments
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment
