Johannesburg: Electronics Engineer – Bryanston

Working under the general direction with minimal guidance from the Operations Manager, the Electronics Engineer will work collaboratively as part of a cross-functional team and undertake the following responsibilities: Customer-facing technical delivery – Engage directly with public sector clients, operators, vehicle suppliers and field teams to define on-board equipment requirements, installation constraints, and acceptance criteria. – Provide technical guidance during implementation and support project stakeholders through testing and commissioning phases. On-board ITS integration (core focus) – Design and deliver the on-board integration of third-party ITS devices with the vehicle electrical and electronic environment (bus electronics, power, interfaces, mounting constraints). – Source, evaluate and recommend suitable third-party ITS devices (e.g., cameras, speakers, vehicle units, communication devices, sensors) and prepare technical specifications for procurement. – Ensure the third-party devices integrate with the back-end control centre using the required communication protocols and data interfaces. – Support configuration and commissioning of on-board ITS devices, including firmware setup, parameter configuration and software tools required to make devices operational. – Perform firmware/software validation testing on third-party devices to ensure compatibility with on-board and back-end systems. – Use diagnostic utilities and logs to troubleshoot device communication issues, including interface errors between third-party equipment, vehicle electronics, and back-office systems. – Assist with software version control and upgrade planning for on-board devices (firmware releases, patching, rollback planning, and stability verification). Testing, commissioning and operational readiness – Perform integration testing and commissioning of on-board equipment and ensure the complete system is operational end-to-end. – Test provided bus software in combination with installed third-party devices to validate correct behaviour, performance and stability in the live vehicle environment. – Conduct on-site inspections of installation activities and verify workmanship and compliance with project requirements. Field infrastructure installation (BRT stations / route equipment) – Design and oversee the installation of field equipment such as cameras, speakers and other ITS infrastructure at BRT stations and along the route. – Design and/or specify brackets, mounting solutions and installation layouts to ensure safe, secure and maintainable installations in public environments. Standards, documentation and quality – Ensure installation, maintenance and operations conform to applicable standards and customer requirements by preparing electrical/electronic specifications and technical drawings. – Maintain documentation for installation, wiring, testing, commissioning, and operational handover. – Coordinate and support quality assurance requirements across stakeholders. Training and collaboration – Support skills transfer and training of client technical teams, project staff and technicians as required. – Work with a variety of technicians, installers and contracted staff to ensure delivery success. Requirements – Bachelors degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or closely related field). – 4 years relevant experience in engineering delivery, including installation and commissioning of electronic systems (transportation systems experience is advantageous). – Proven experience with installation of electrical/electronic equipment on vehicles. – Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals (power, wiring, signal integrity, connectors, grounding, protection) – Experience working with embedded systems, on-board firmware, and device configuration/diagnostic tools in a transport, automotive, CCTV, telematics, or industrial electronics environ. – Highly computer literate Comfortable working across both hardware and software domains, including firmware-level troubleshooting and field diagnostic Should you not receive a response within 10 working days, please consider your application as unsuccessful
