Description
We are looking for an experienced
Hardware Engineer / PCB Designer
who will be responsible for the full lifecycle of IoT hardware development — from concept and schematic design to PCB layout and testing. This role combines a deep understanding of electronics with strong PCB design skills to create reliable and optimized solutions.
Responsibilities:
Schematic Design:
Develop electrical schematics for IoT devices.
PCB Design:
Design printed circuit boards (from
2-layer
to multilayer, including high-speed and RF boards).
Component Selection:
Choose electronic components considering availability, cost, and project requirements.
Power Design:
Optimize power consumption, work with battery-powered solutions, and implement low-power modes.
MCU Integration:
Integrate microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, Nordic, NXP, TI, etc.) and other components.
Prototyping:
Assemble and test initial board prototypes, debug schematics.
Testing & Debugging:
Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other tools to validate device performance.
PCB Manufacturing Support:
Prepare production files (Gerber, BOM, Pick & Place), ensure quality control, and communicate with PCB manufacturers.
Documentation:
Maintain comprehensive documentation for manufacturing and product lifecycle support.
Requirements:
Experience in schematic design and development of digital and analog circuits.
Strong proficiency with PCB design tools such as
Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle
.
Understanding of high-speed signal design, EMI/EMC considerations, and shielding techniques.
Experience with wireless technologies: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, Zigbee, NB-IoT, 4G/5G, RFID, UWB.
Experience integrating sensors (temperature, humidity, vibration, acceleration, etc.).
Basic knowledge of embedded programming (C/C++ for microcontrollers is a plus).
Experience with low-voltage power systems
(DC-DC,
LDOs, batteries, power-saving techniques).
Hands-on debugging skills using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
Nice to Have:
Experience with simulation tools such as LTspice, PSpice, MATLAB, or similar.
Familiarity with IoT device certification requirements across different regions (EU, USA, China).
Experience with MEMS and sensor technologies.
Understanding of compliance and certification standards.
Knowledge of PCB manufacturing processes, including file preparation and factory collaboration.
Our Benefits:
Professional growth
: Individual development plan, mentorship, reimbursement for professional certifications and English lessons, access to professional courses in Corporate Learning Management System.
Community
: Tech community and knowledge-sharing events, English speaking club, corporate library and book club, volunteering and charity initiatives.
Wellbeing
: Medical insurance, regular medical check-ups, sport reimbursement, paid vacation and sick leave, mental health support, and events.
Work environment
: Fully-equipped offices, top-notch equipment, flexible work format, activities both in-office and online, Y-bucks, and access to the Yalantis store.
Please note that feedback on the results of the CV review will be provided only in the event of a decision to consider your candidacy further.
Otherwise, your data will be retained in the company’s CV database, and we will gladly contact you if a suitable vacancy becomes available. The consideration period is 7 working days.
