Electronics Engineer

Role: Electronics Engineer – Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

Location: Johannesburg, onsite

Type: Permanent 

Johannesburg, South Africa (On-site)

Are you an Electronics Engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world infrastructure? This is an opportunity to join a growing, innovation-driven technology business delivering advanced transport and mobility solutions across Africa.

You’ll play a critical role in deploying cutting-edge systems that improve public transport efficiency, safety, and passenger experience—working directly on live environments including vehicles, stations, and route infrastructure.

Why this role is worth your attention

• Work on complex, real-world engineering projects—not just theory or lab work
• Be part of a business driving smart mobility and digital transport transformation
• Gain exposure to large-scale deployments across Africa
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and clients
• Take ownership of end-to-end integration and delivery

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll take ownership of integrating electronic systems into operational transport environments.

Key focus areas include:

• Designing and implementing on-board electronic systems within vehicles
• Integrating third-party devices such as cameras, sensors, communication units, and telematics equipment
• Ensuring seamless communication between on-board systems and central platforms
• Supporting installation, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting in live environments
• Working closely with clients, operators, and field teams to ensure successful delivery
• Conducting system validation, diagnostics, and performance testing
• Contributing to field infrastructure deployments (stations, route equipment, etc.)
• Producing technical documentation, specifications, and installation standards

What we’re looking for

You’re someone who enjoys solving practical engineering challenges and isn’t afraid to get hands-on in the field.

Core requirements:

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or similar)
• Around 4+ years’ experience in electronic systems delivery, installation, or commissioning
• Experience working with vehicle electronics, embedded systems, or industrial/field devices
• Strong understanding of:
• Power systems, wiring, and signal integrity
• Device integration and communication interfaces
• Diagnostics, troubleshooting, and testing

What will make you stand out

• Experience in transport, automotive, telematics, CCTV, or industrial electronics
• Exposure to firmware configuration, embedded systems, or device-level diagnostics
• Ability to work across both hardware and software environments
• Confidence engaging with clients and stakeholders in technical discussions
