About STATSports

What if the product you helped to build next week was worn by an elite athlete the week after? At STATSports, that could be your reality. Since 2007, we’ve grown from a small Irish start‑up into the global leader in GPS performance tracking, trusted by the world’s biggest clubs, leagues, and athletes. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and sport, helping teams optimise performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock insights that were previously impossible.

But just as importantly, our products support the next generation of athletes, from academies to grassroots, giving them access to the same performance tools as the pros. Innovation has always driven us forward, and it’s our people who make that happen.

We’re looking for a Senior Electronic Engineer to join our product development team and play a key role in designing and delivering the next generation of STATSports hardware. This is a senior, end‑to‑end engineering role where you’ll take ownership of complex electronic designs from early concept through to factory NPI and certification. You’ll work across electronic hardware, embedded firmware, testing and validation, collaborating closely with software, mechanical, systems and manufacturing teams.

If you enjoy solving complex technical problems, taking products from idea to production, and seeing your designs used at the very highest level of sport, this role will suit you.

• Contributing to new and existing product developments from concept through to implementation, including hardware design, firmware, testing, validation and NPI
• Driving circuit‑level hardware design, including architecture, component selection, schematic capture, BoM generation, library management, PCB layout oversight, simulation, fabrication, prototyping and board bring‑up
• Designing and integrating complex PCB and cable assemblies within constrained mechanical enclosures
• Creating mechanical models of PCB designs and collaborating with mechanical designers to ensure correct fit and integration
• Working closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver projects on time and within budget across the full product lifecycle
• Designing and interfacing hardware peripherals, including sensors, power management devices, communication interfaces, opto‑electronics, actuators, microcontrollers and FPGAs
• Designing and working with AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems
• Developing embedded firmware in C/C++ (Python experience an advantage) for ARM Cortex‑based systems
• Implementing and debugging communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN and similar
• Ensuring DFM/DFT considerations are applied throughout the electronic factory workflow
• Designing test procedures, test rigs and validation tools, and generating clear test reports
• Supporting compliance and certification activities, including CE, EMC, FCC, FDA and UL
• Conducting and supporting EMC testing such as ESD, immunity, transient, conducted and radiated emissions
• Applying tools such as FMEA to identify, analyse and document system and component failures
• Performing hands‑on hardware and firmware debugging, including component replacement and fixture support
• Participating in technical design reviews to ensure electrical integrity, safety and quality
• Supporting project planning, schedules, cost estimates and delivery commitments in collaboration with the PMO
• Actively contributing to quality improvements and adherence to the QA process

You’ll likely enjoy this role if you:

• Have a degree in Engineering (or equivalent)
• Have 5+ years’ experience designing and testing analogue, digital and mixed‑signal electronics
• Can take products from concept through to factory NPI using structured EDA workflows
• Are experienced with PCB design, component selection, sourcing and DFM considerations
• Have strong embedded firmware knowledge and experience implementing algorithms in firmware
• Are comfortable working with ARM Cortex microcontrollers and common embedded protocols
• Have experience with compliance and certification testing
• Are confident using collaborative tools such as GIT, JIRA or similar
• Have strong hands‑on assembly and…
