Hardware Engineer

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.
