Hardware Integrator & Systems Engineer for Parking Systems (m/f/d)

Location:Erlangen/Nuremberg · Full-time · Hybrid
Experience:Professional experience preferred (≥ 3 years), but not required
Focus:Hardware control, electrical interfaces, device technology
Bonus:Hands-on approach & understanding of systems

About us

Our parking systems consist ofphysical hardware—barriers, displays, cameras, sensors, payment terminals, and control units—and a digital platform that connects these devices.
To ensure everything works reliably, we need technicians whotruly understand electricity, signals, and electrical interfaces, and who can alsoconfigure and set upour systems.

This is a job for people whoenjoy working with hardwarebut are just as capable ofoperating systemsandsetting up digital devices.

Your Mission

You will be responsible forhardware integration: You will definehow barriers, displays, control units, and other components are electrically connected, how they transmit and receive signals, and how they interact within our systems. Your work will involve bothhands-on tasks(devices, cabling, signal logic, hardware testing) anddigitaltasks (configuring parking areas, cameras, triggers, and device settings).

In short:
You're the one who makes hardware speak.

Your tasks

1. Hardware Control & Electrical Interfaces (CORE FOCUS)

• Definition and documentation ofhardware interfaces(inputs/outputs, triggers, relays, 12V/24V signals)
• Developingcontrol conceptsfor barriers, displays, traffic lights, sensors, and control units
• Determinewhich signalis triggered and when—and how it is processed
• Assess how devices function electrically andhow they should be properly connected
• Testing device functions:What type of contact? What logic? What voltage?
• Creation and maintenance of technical connection diagrams (from a hardware perspective)

2. Integration of new generations of hardware

• Electrical analysis of new devices (capabilities, signals, interface behavior)
• Setting up small test rigs in the laboratory/engineering hall
• Testing the response to signals and triggers
• Deriving the appropriatecontrol logicfor our system

3. System Configuration & Setup of Parking Areas

• Setting up cameras, zones, triggers, and device configurations
• Configuring functional logic, trigger criteria, and operating parameters
• Verify thatthe electrical control system and system configurationare working properly together
• Documentation of the technical setup

4. Basic IT tasks (supporting—not the main focus)

• Check devices remotely (basic remote access without complex IT expertise)
• Access cameras via web interfaces, adjust settings
• Interpreting errors from monitoring messages (camera offline, device unreachable, etc.)
• Basic knowledge of IP, ports, and simple networking concepts

5. Troubleshooting (Hardware and System Interaction)

• Determine whether a problem is caused byhardware, thesignal, theconfiguration, ornetwork connectivity
• Structured problem analysis with a technical focus
• Collaboration with Engineering, Support, Integration, and Software—but you’ll always be working atthe hardware/system level

Your profile

Background (at least one of the following)

• Electronics Technician (Equipment & Systems, Automation, Industrial Engineering)
• Mechatronics Technician (Industry, Automation, Robotics, Access Control Systems)
• IT Systems Technician
• Service Technician (Barriers, Gates, Access Control, Video Surveillance, Alarms, Vending Machines)
• Technician (Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics)
• Or:Makers/hobbyistswith a strong understanding of hardware

Work experience

• Preferablyat least 3 years of technical work experience
• However,career changersarealsowelcome if you have strong technical skills and a knack for hardware

Your skills

• Proficient in working withsignals, relays, 12V/24V, and inputs/outputs
• Understand hardware, don't just plug it in
• Technical Documentation & Attention to Detail
• Basic knowledge of IT and system access is sufficient
• Ability to logically evaluate device behavior

Your qualities

• The DIY gene: You want to know WHY something works
• You love hardware, devices, signals, and mechanics
• Analytical, curious, practical
• A desire to try things out, test them, and improve them
• Team-oriented & clear in technical communication

Why PRM?

• Working with actual hardware instead of just theory
• Combination ofelectrical integrationandsystem configuration
• State-of-the-art technical facility, laboratory, and testing equipment
• Hybrid: Lab/Office + Remote Work for Documentation/Analysis
• A stable industry with many technical challenges
• The freedom to develop pragmatic solutions and help shape technical standards
