Junior Hardware Engineer

About the role

You will start your hardware career on a team that ships real products, learning the craft from engineers who have debugged everything you are about to encounter for the first time. Junior engineers here do genuine work from day one: test fixtures, board modifications, measurement campaigns, and eventually their own small designs with close mentorship. You will be mentored closely, expected to ask questions constantly, and measured on how fast you learn and how carefully you work. Mistakes are expected and welcomed as long as they are honest, documented, and not repeated. Within a year, strong juniors here are contributing designs reviewers trust.

What you will achieve

• Build lab proficiency quickly: reliable soldering and rework down to 0402, confident oscilloscope and multimeter use, and careful probing technique on dense boards
• Deliver useful test fixtures and breakout boards that accelerate the team's bring-up and validation work on active programs
• Execute measurement campaigns covering power consumption, signal captures, and temperature profiles with clean, well-organized data the team trusts
• Complete your first small board design such as a breakout, adapter, or test board from schematic through assembled, working hardware
• Earn increasing design responsibility by demonstrating careful review responses, thorough documentation, and consistently clean lab habits

What you will bring

Must-haves

• 0 to 2 years of experience; strong internships, co-ops, or personal projects involving real built hardware all count
• Solid circuit fundamentals from coursework: Ohm's law through op-amps, filters, and digital logic, applied in practice not just memorized
• Basic schematic capture experience in any major tool such as Altium, KiCad, Eagle, or Cadence, producing tidy readable schematics
• Hands-on lab skills or the demonstrated ability to learn them fast: soldering, probing, and systematic measurement
• Genuine curiosity about how things work, shown through teardowns, personal builds, or detailed project write-ups
• Careful work habits: double-checking footprints, verifying pinouts against datasheets, and documenting what you did and measured
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

Nice-to-haves

• Personal project portfolio with PCBs you designed, built, and debugged yourself from concept to working hardware
• Familiarity with microcontrollers such as Arduino, STM32, or ESP32 and basic firmware for hardware testing
• Experience with 3D printing or mechanical CAD for building custom test fixtures
• Contributions to open-source hardware projects or active participation in hardware community forums
