за кордоном, віддалено
We are expanding our hardware engineering team in Berlin and looking for an Embedded Hardware Engineer to design and validate next-generation electronic systems for our unmanned platforms.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working across the full hardware lifecycle — from circuit design and prototyping to testing and production support — in a fast-moving R&D environment.
Responsibilities
- Design analog and digital circuits and develop high-quality schematics using Altium Designer or KiCad.
- Select electronic components, evaluate alternatives, and support PCB layout for manufacturability, reliability, and signal integrity.
- Develop and document cable harnesses, wiring diagrams, and system interconnects.
- Build, test, and debug hardware prototypes; troubleshoot issues at board and system level.
- Perform basic analyses and simulations:
- power distribution
- signal integrity
- EMC/EMI considerations
- Prepare and maintain engineering documentation: schematics, BOMs, revision history, fabrication notes.
- Collaborate with PCB manufacturers and assembly partners; assess capabilities and support production-related discussions.
- Work closely with firmware, systems, and mechanical engineering teams throughout development and testing.
- Support hardware validation during lab and field testing of autonomous systems.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in hardware design, embedded electronics, or circuit development.
- Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, component behaviour, and board-level design principles.
- Proficiency with Altium Designer or KiCad for schematic creation.
- Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, sensors, power management, and communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, CAN.
- Knowledge of SMT processes, PCB fabrication technologies, and assembly constraints.
- Practical lab experience using oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, logic analyzers, etc.
- Strong soldering skills (SMD + THT), including fine-pitch components.
- Ability to read and interpret datasheets, reference designs, and technical documentation in English.
- Nice to have:
- experience with power electronics
- basic firmware/MCU programming
- experience debugging mixed-signal systems
We Offer
- Work on cutting-edge autonomous systems and defence-grade technologies.
- A high degree of ownership in hardware architecture and product design.
- Modern lab environment and real-world testing of your hardware.
- Opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary engineering team.
- Competitive compensation package.
- Office in Berlin with hybrid flexibility.
