Hardware Engineer

You'll work closely with a senior engineer who communicates primarily in Russian or Ukrainian, so strong technical communication in one of those languages is required., * Design, prototype, and improve electromechanical systems.

• Work across mechanical design, materials, electronics, embedded bring-up, and system debugging.
• Read and contribute to schematics, CAD models, drawings, and PCB workflows.
• Assemble, solder, test, and debug hardware, including fine-pitch SMD boards.
• Use lab tools to diagnose failures and validate performance.
• Support rapid prototyping with 3D printing and related fabrication methods.
• Contribute to embedded development on platforms such as STM32, nRF52, and iCE40 where needed.

Do you have experience in Surface mount soldering?, * Professional proficiency in Russian or Ukrainian.

• Strong hands-on experience designing and building mechanical devices or systems.
• Good understanding of materials and practical hardware tradeoffs.
• Ability to read technical drawings, electronic schematics, and engineering documentation.
• Experience with CAD software.
• Experience with 3D printing.
• Hands-on electronics experience: soldering, PCB work, and assembly/debugging with small SMD components.
• Ability to work independently, make decisions, and communicate well in a team.
• Willingness to learn new tools and skills as needed., * Experience programming microcontrollers.
• Strong experience with STM32 in VS Code and/or STM32CubeIDE.
• Familiarity with nRF52 development, including bring-up, flashing, and debugging.
• Experience with iCE40 FPGA or similar platforms.
• Solid grounding in SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, clocks, reset behavior, and power sequencing.
• Experience with board bring-up and firmware-hardware integration.
• Familiarity with BLE or other low-power wireless systems, especially Nordic platforms.
• Experience with hardware for neural recordings, especially imec Neuropixels.
