Embedded Systems & PCB Design Engineer at Uniccon Group

About the Role:

• We are seeking a highly analytical, multi-disciplinary, and hands-on Embedded Systems & PCB Design Engineer to join our engineering team.
• This is a comprehensive, end-to-end hardware role. You will completely own the electronics lifecycle of our tactical platforms—moving seamlessly from initial schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout, through to real-time firmware development, bench-top laboratory assembly, and live hardware debugging.

Key Responsibilities

• Embedded Systems & Firmware Development: Design, write, and debug clean, efficient C/C++ code for real-time applications on microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, ARM Cortex, etc.). Build robust peripheral interfaces using communication protocols including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and RS485 while optimizing for memory and power.
• Multi-Layer PCB Design: Execute schematic capture and complex PCB layouts (integrating analog, digital, power, and RF sections) using industry tools like Altium, KiCad, or Eagle. Manage BOM selection, footprint creation, and version control libraries.
• Precision Assembly & Rework: Perform high-precision SMD and through-hole soldering for rapid prototypes and small-batch production runs. Confidently handle hot-air rework, microscope tasks, and fine-pitch components (BGA, QFP, 0402/0603) in an ESD-safe workspace.
• Hardware Bring-Up & Validation: Debug, test, and validate new PCB revisions down to the component level. Utilize laboratory diagnostic tools including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters to verify signal integrity, power distribution, and EMC compliance.
• Cross-Functional Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Bridge the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing. Collaborate with mechanical and assembly teams to reduce component complexity, ensure physical enclosure fits, and generate test procedures.

What We Are Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Education: B.Eng / B.Sc in Electrical, Electronics, Computer, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Experience: 3+ years of proven experience in embedded hardware and systems development.
• Firmware & Protocols: Strong C/C++ development skills. Proficient with hardware debuggers (JTAG/SWD) and core protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
• Hardware Craftsmanship: Excellent bench skills, including fine SMD soldering, component-level fault finding, and diagnostic equipment operation.
• Tools: Competency in Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle, along with Git for revision control.

Preferred Skills:

• Practical experience deploying RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) in timing-critical environments.
• Background in drone hardware integration, robotics, motor control, or IoT applications.
• Familiarity with structured quality and documentation standards.
