> full description

Who we are: Sirin Software, an IT service provider established in 2014 with an R&D center in Kyiv. We specialize in Embedded Linux, IoT solutions, and Hardware Design, delivering software and hardware products for clients across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Our mission: is to get IoT products to market faster and more cost-effectively than anyone else.
Who we are looking for: a curious and motivated Junior Hardware Engineer who wants to design PCBs and grow into firmware development (C/C++) alongside experienced engineers.

Schematic Design. Participate in designing circuit schematics under the guidance of a Senior Hardware Engineer.
PCB Layout. Route printed circuit boards for IoT devices, microcontroller systems, and peripherals.
Prototyping & Soldering. Assemble and solder initial board prototypes (including SMD components) using lab soldering equipment.
Testing & Debugging. Troubleshoot and test assembled boards using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and signal analyzers.
BOM Management. Select component bases, analyze market availability, and compile Bills of Materials (BOM).
Team Collaboration. Work closely with the embedded software engineering team for fast and seamless hardware-software integration.

Education. Degree or ongoing studies in Electronics, Radio Engineering, Telecommunications, Microelectronics, or a related technical field.
Electronics Fundamentals. Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design, along with basic electronic components.
CAD Tools Experience. Hands-on experience with at least one PCB design tool (Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, etc.).
Interest in Firmware. Genuine enthusiasm and interest in growing as a Firmware Engineer (writing C/C++ code for boards).
Lab Skills. Practical soldering experience (SMD) and confidence working with multimeters and oscilloscopes.
English Proficiency (Intermediate / B1 at least). Fluent reading of technical documentation (datasheets, specifications) and spoken English skills to participate in client calls.
Self-Development & Autonomy. Ability to independently research information, master new tools, software, and calculation methods. You don’t wait for step-by-step instructions, but you can always consult with our Senior Hardware Engineer whenever you need guidance.
AI Tools Proficiency. Ability to effectively use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to accelerate datasheet searches, compare components, and optimize routine engineering tasks.

Basic Firmware Experience. Basic C/C++ knowledge and hands-on experience with microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, nRF52, AVR, etc.).
Pet Projects / Portfolio. Examples of your own designed boards or hardware-software projects.

Exciting Projects: work on real physical devices from smart furniture (like smart desks) and automated irrigation systems to smart electricity meters and AI-powered audio equipment.
Career Growth & Mentorship: clear opportunities for professional development with strong supervision from Senior leads.
Zero Bureaucracy: enjoy a trust-based culture with zero bureaucracy, no micromanagement, and no time tracking—we focus on outcomes, not tracked hours.
Flexible Working Hours: work-life balance with flexible daily start times between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Paid Time Off: 20 working days of paid vacation, 15 days of paid sick leave, plus extra days off for major life events and public holidays.
Financial Stability & Support: annual performance-based salary reviews and full accounting support for all team members.
Continuous Learning Perks: professional English courses in small groups, along with education and anniversary bonuses.
Hardware & Equipment: provision of all necessary technical equipment and lab tools for your smooth workflow.
Autonomous Kyiv Office: work from our office in the historical heart of Kyiv (Podil), equipped with autonomous power systems, uninterrupted internet connection, coffee, tea, fruits, and snacks.
