Hardware Engineer

Hardware Engineer

We’re hiring a full-time Hardware Engineer to build and debug mission-critical hardware.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who can work across mechanics, electronics, prototyping, embedded systems, and bench debugging. We value depth, but we put even more value on range
. If you’ve worn many hats, built real systems, and developed strong engineering judgment over time, we want to hear from you.

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 STM
  32
  , nRF
  52
  , and iCE
  40 where needed.

• Professional proficiency in Russian or Ukrainian
  .
• Strong hands‑on experience designing and building mechanical devices or systems.
• Good understanding of materials and practical hardware trade‑offs.
• 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 STM
  32 in VS Code and/or STM
  32
  
  CubeIDE
  .
• Familiarity with nRF
  52 development, including bring‑up, flashing, and debugging.
• Experience with iCE
  40 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
  .

We care a lot about experience. Not resume polish. Not narrow specialization. We’re looking for someone who has built, debugged, adapted, and kept going when the work got messy. Versatility, judgment, and hands‑on capability matter here. If your background is broad, practical, and hard‑earned, you may be a strong fit.
