Hardware Engineer/PCB Designer (freelance, part-time on demand) (вакансія неактивна)

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.
