Embedded electronics and integration engineer
Summary
A hands-on embedded electronics engineer who assembles, brings up, debugs, and validates PCBs and modules for reference designs and customer NRE builds. Maintains test rigs and measurement pipelines and supports firmware/software integration over UART/SPI/I²C at a deep-tech sensing-systems company, working on-site in Joensuu.
Role summary
You are a hands-on electronics engineer focused on fast build–assemble–test–integrate cycles for
reference models and NRE projects. Your work shortens iteration loops and increases throughput across
multiple customer deliveries, ensuring hardware modules are built and validated reliably.
What youll do
Assemble and bring up PCBs and modules; validate electrical and optical subsystems against
defined checks and acceptance criteria.Debug hardware issues efficiently (power, signals, timing,
communication, sensor behavior) and document findings and fixes.
Support integration with firmware/software teams, including effective data sharing on interfaces
such as UART/SPI/I²C, timing coordination, power modes, and logging/telemetry.
Maintain practical test setups and measurement pipelines: fixtures, rigs, scripts, checklists, build
documentation, and bench discipline to ensure repeatable results and smooth transfer to
manufacturing.
Interact with manufacturing and component partners to support builds, resolve issues, and improve
build quality and consistency.
Contribute to next-generation hardware concepts through component evaluations,
sensor/illumination experiments, and new integration approaches — improving delivery speed and
reducing rework across NRE and customer builds.
What we expect
Strong hands-on competence in embedded electronics: PCB/module assembly, bring-up,
debugging, and systematic fault isolation.
Comfort with lab instrumentation and measurement workflows (e.g., oscilloscopes, power supplies,
multimeters; building reliable test routines).
Practical understanding of embedded interfaces and system integration constraints (UART/SPI/I²C,
timing, power, signal integrity at a working level).
Documentation discipline: you leave behind clear build notes, checklists, and test procedures
others can repeat.
Ability to work independently in a small team, prioritize effectively, and unblock others quickly.
Experience with optical/IR components, cameras, illumination, or sensor systems is a plus.
Embedded programming experience (including FPGA-adjacent and HDL work) is a plus, but not
required.
What we offer
A core role in building and validating real hardware in a deep-tech company shipping demanding
sensing systems.
Direct impact on delivery speed, reliability, and customer success; close collaboration with the
founders and the core engineering team.
Variety of work across reference designs, customer NRE builds, and next-generation prototypes.
Competitive compensation aligned with experience; potential equity participation depending on role
seniority and responsibilities.
A culture that values technical rigor, clear communication, and practical execution over
bureaucracy.
Comprehensive health-care package, gym access
