Role: Jr. Embedded Engineer

Role Overview:


We are looking for a passionate Jr. Embedded Engineer to join our engineering team. This role is ideal for fresh graduates and junior engineers who enjoy working on embedded systems and real-world IoT products. This role involves assisting in embedded development, testing, hardware validation, and lab execution activities. It is a hands-on engineering support role working closely with the lead embedded engineer.

Key Responsibilities:

  • * Assist in development, testing, and debugging of embedded firmware for IoT devices.
  • * Work with ESP32 and other microcontroller-based platforms.
  • * Integrate and test communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, BLE, Wi-Fi, and MQTT.
  • * Perform hardware bring-up, PCB validation, and device testing.
  • * Assist in debugging hardware and firmware issues during development and production.
  • * Support device programming, testing, and production activities.
  • * Maintain technical documentation and contribute to product improvements.


Requirements

  • * Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • * Good understanding of C/C++ and low level programming.
  • * Basic knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and electronics.
  • * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • * Willingness to learn and work on both hardware and firmware tasks.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • * Hands-on experience with ESP32/Atmega/STM32 or similar microcontroller platforms.
  • * Familiarity with communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, BLE, Wi-Fi, or MQTT.
  • * Basic knowledge of Git, Linux, or Python is an added advantage.

Preferred Candidate Profile

  • We strongly encourage candidates who have worked on **meaningful embedded projects**.
  • Applicants with hands-on experience building systems using ESP32, Arduino, STM32, or similar platforms will be preferred.
  • Projects involving firmware development, hardware integration, communication protocols, or IoT systems are valued. Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate practical engineering understanding rather than purely tutorial-based work.

Candidates should be able to explain their projects and technical decisions during the interview.

Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply. We value curiosity, practical skills, and hands-on learning ability more than prior industry experience.
