Posizioni aperte

At FOSS, innovation is more than a buzzword; it’s the foundation of everything we do. Each year, we reinvest 10% of our revenue into R&D, driving our mission to enable the sustainable use of the planet’s food resources. Through advanced food analytics, we help secure food quality, reduce waste, and optimize production. Our dedication to innovation has delivered numerous industry-first technologies in our nearly 70-year history. This relentless pursuit of the near impossible is deeply embedded in our values and shared by more than 300 dedicated R&D professionals working from two global innovation hubs.

What you will be doing

As our new Electronics Platform Coordinator, you will be the operational backbone of our Electronics & Embedded team — coordinating hardware, embedded software, and PCBA test development as we deliver our electronics platform across multiple NPD (New Product Development) projects simultaneously. You will report to the Head of Department and work closely with our Electronics Stream Lead, Embedded Software Lead, and PCBA test developer on a daily basis.

This is not a traditional project manager role. You won’t own the delivery plans yourself — the development leads do. Your role is to own the electronics platform backlog at the feature level, run the team’s coordination cadence, and ensure the structure and clarity that lets each lead commit and deliver with confidence. If you are an engineer who finds satisfaction in making a complex, multi-stream team flow predictably, this role is built for you.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own and maintain the electronics platform backlog at the feature level in Azure DevOps — keeping scope, owners, dates, and dependencies current across eHW, ESW, and PCBA test streams
• Run electronics platform coordination: planning, stand-ups, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and cross-discipline syncs — keeping decisions visible and agreements current
• Define Definition of Ready collaboratively with the relevant development leads, who act as domain input providers, and ensure features meet DoR before developers pick them up
• Ensure the PCBA test plan is reflected in the backlog alongside hardware and software deliverables, with owners, dates, and dependencies aligned
• Surface capacity constraints and blockers early; provide capacity and throughput signals to the Head of Department and development leads so the right decisions get made at the right time
• Facilitate internal risk and mitigation discussions; ensure agreed actions are tracked to closure in the backlog

What we hope to see you bring

We are looking for a candidate with an engineering background — ideally in electronics hardware or embedded software — who has stepped into a coordination role and found their calling there. You bring technical credibility and process discipline in equal measure.

We hope to see you bring:

• Engineering background in electronics hardware, embedded software, or a closely related discipline — you need to understand what the team is building to structure it well
• 3–5 years of experience in a project coordination or engineering PM role within a hardware or embedded product development environment
• Proven backlog ownership: you have maintained a multi-stream backlog, managed dependencies, and kept complex delivery visible across concurrent workstreams
• Facilitation and process discipline: you run purposeful ceremonies, create real quality gates, and build process scaffolding the team relies on — not works around
• Clear communication and stakeholder management: you keep development leads, the Head of Department, and NPD project teams informed and aligned at the right level of detail
• Technical credibility in electronics and embedded development: sufficient to assess feature quality, spot stream misalignment, and have grounded conversations about risk with engineers
• Familiarity with NPD or gate-based product development processes, and experience with Azure DevOps, Jira, or equivalent backlog management tools

Why choose FOSS?

You will join a close-knit, high-competence engineering team that builds instruments used by the world’s leading food companies. The Electronics & Embedded team sits at the technical core of everything FOSS ships — and the Electronics Platform Coordinator is central to how that team delivers.

This is a role with clear scope and genuine ownership. The electronics platform backlog and coordination process is yours to shape. You will have direct daily collaboration with experienced electronics and embedded software engineers, and work in a culture that values clarity, good process, and getting things right.
