Electronics Engineer — Tactile Sensors & Robotic Hands

Seed Robotics builds advanced robotic hands and high-definition tactile sensing technology, used by research labs and industry worldwide. We are starting a 31-month European R&D project (Eurostars) with our Dutch partner Brighter Signals to develop a new generation of HD tactile sensors integrated into robotic hands — from first prototypes to a pre-series build.

We are hiring an Electronics Engineer to own the electronics side of this work in both our Torres Vedras engineering site (40 min from Lisbon) and in our Oeiras headquarters.

What you will do

• Design the electrical interfaces between textile-based tactile sensors and embedded controllers: schematics, PCB layout, connectors and interconnect reliability
• Design and refine sensor readout electronics (mixed-signal; capacitive and resistive sensing)
• Write embedded firmware in C/C++ (bare-metal, e.g. RP2350/STM32) for high-rate data acquisition
• Run sensor characterization: linearity, hysteresis, drift, frequency response, environmental testing
• Build, test and iterate prototypes hands-on, through to a pre-series of 10–12 tactile robotic hands

What we are looking for

• Completed degree (BSc or MSc) in Electronics Engineering or a closely related field
• Hands-on experience designing and debugging electronic circuits (not only integrating modules)
• Embedded C/C++ on microcontrollers; comfort with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, etc.)
• Working proficiency in English (our project partner is Dutch)
• Valued: analog front-end design experience, signal integrity, low-noise measurement

What we offer

• €32,000–35,000 gross/year, permanent contract
• Full ownership of the electronics domain in a small, senior team — your designs go into real products
• Direct collaboration with our Dutch project partner, including travel to Amsterdam
