Senior Hardware Designer – BMS (m/w/d)

About the role

Husqvarna Group's Battery Competence Center is strengthening its hardware team with a Senior Hardware Designer who knows BMS development in depth. This is a senior, hands-on engineering role: you will turn battery subsystem requirements into robust BMS hardware solutions together with system engineers, cell specialists, software engineers and manufacturing experts. The role is based in Huskvarna or Jonsered in Sweden, or Karlstein am Main in Germany.

Key responsibilities

• Derive hardware requirements from battery subsystem requirements and translate them into practical design choices.
• Define BMS hardware architecture and functional blocks based on system architecture, requirements, standards and certification needs.
• Create schematics and PCB designs in OrCAD, including symbols, footprints and production-ready documentation.
• Define BMS interfaces to the battery system and contribute to the optimal EE layout of the battery design.
• Select electronic and electrical components balancing performance, safety, availability and manufacturability.
• Prepare manufacturing deliverables for PCBA production and support test, troubleshooting, verification and validation.
• Define AFE parameters, operating modes and BMS functions with cell experts, system engineers and software engineers.
• Specify the hardware-software interface with the software team and ensure structured technical documentation.

Required profile

• BSc or MSc in Electronics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 6 years of relevant professional experience in electronics/hardware development.
• Documented experience in hardware design for Battery Management Systems (essential).
• Strong experience in circuit and PCBA design, able to work independently on complex designs.
• Hands-on experience with AFEs, MCUs and BMS-related hardware architectures.
• Fluent English, spoken and written.

Required skills

• OrCAD for schematic and PCB design (at least 3 years)
• Circuit and PCBA design
• BMS hardware design
