About Us

We design and manufacture on-street parking pay stations and public transport ticketing machines, deployed in both fixed and vehicle-embedded environments.

Our products bring together hardware, mechanical, and electronics engineering to deliver reliable solutions for demanding real-world conditions.

Our electronics team designs and develops a wide range of internal boards — including main boards, modems, coin systems, card readers, printer interfaces, and audio systems — while integrating displays, contactless payment devices, cash collection systems, alarms, solar panels, and mechatronic components.

Every product is engineered to meet strict regulatory, EMC, environmental, and cost requirements, combining technical performance with reliability and long-term durability.

The Role

• As a
• Senior

Hardware Electronics Engineer , you will play a key role in the design and development of the electronic systems at the heart of our products.

You will own the hardware development lifecycle end to end, from initial requirements and schematic design through testing, validation, certification, and production handover.

Working closely with firmware, mechanical, and software teams, you will help turn product requirements into robust, reliable, and cost-effective electronic solutions.

You may also act as the technical interface with external development partners, defining specifications for outsourced board development and reviewing deliverables to ensure they meet our technical and quality standards.

This is an opportunity to combine hands-on electronics design with system integration, problem-solving, and technical collaboration across a diverse range of embedded products.
