Hardware Development Engineer

Pixellot, the global leader in AI-powered sports production, is transforming how sports events are captured, produced, and shared. Our cutting-edge systems bring professional-grade broadcasting to every field, court, and arena — from the world’s biggest leagues to local community games.

We’re looking for a Hardware Development Engineer to join the team shaping the hardware core of our products. In this role, you’ll work on advanced electrical and optical systems, design and validate new generations of devices, and ensure the robustness of systems deployed worldwide.

If you thrive on multidisciplinary challenges, love working at the intersection of electronics and optics, and want to shape devices that change how millions of fans experience sports — we want to meet you!

As part of your role, you will:

• Report directly to the CTO, ensuring alignment of hardware activities with company goals
• Define, design, and validate the next generation of Pixellot’s hardware products (cameras + processing units)
• Own electrical and optical aspects of the product lifecycle, from concept through large-scale deployment
• Collaborate with and oversee subcontractors for electronics and optics design, manufacturing, and integration
• Provide hands-on technical expertise: debugging, validating, and ensuring system stability in lab and field conditions
• Support the manufacturing team with technical guidance to ensure scalability, high yield, and continuous improvement
• Contribute to engineering-to-production process improvements, increasing efficiency and reliability across thousands of deployed systems
• Collaborate closely with software, mechanical, and product teams, ensuring holistic product delivery that meets Pixellot’s performance needs
• Be available for occasional travel to support subcontractors, suppliers, or deployments
  
  

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Practical Engineer with proven relevant experience (or equivalent)
• 5+ years of experience working on multidisciplinary systems (electronics, optics, embedded)
• Strong expertise in electronics design and debugging (PCB, power systems, high-speed interfaces)
• Proven ability to work independently on complex hardware issues
• Experience working with external subcontractors and suppliers (management of contractors, not direct people management)
• Strong end-to-end product ownership mindset, from design to production
• Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional R&D teams
  
  

• Experience with camera systems, image sensors, or optical integration
• Background in consumer electronics or edge devices
• Familiarity with production testing, QA processes, and scaling hardware manufacturing
  
  

• Opportunity to join the global leader in AI-powered sports broadcasting
• Direct involvement in hardware that merges electronics, optics, and AI into one seamless solution
• Ownership of end-to-end design for devices that redefine how sports are captured and experienced
• A collaborative, impact-driven engineering team where your work directly shapes the future of sports coverage
