Hardware / Electronics Engineer – Custom PCB & Prototype Development
Company Description
We are a growing, technology-focused initiative based in Cairo, Egypt, that designs and develops specialized hardware solutions for a variety of applications. We emphasize practical innovation, reliability, and collaborative development. Our projects blend analog/digital electronics, rapid prototyping, and custom product development.
Role Description
This contract Hardware / Electronics Engineer role is a flexible, remote position with local delivery/coordination in Cairo, Egypt. You will design and develop custom electronic circuits, create and review schematics, select appropriate electronic components, and build working prototypes.
Day-to-day responsibilities include schematic design, PCB layout, physical prototyping, hands-on testing, and debugging. You will document designs and test results, ensuring designs are optimized for performance, noise immunity, and manufacturability before delivering functional units for evaluation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design circuit schematics, PCB layouts, and power/signal routing based on technical specifications.
- Select optimal electronic components, sensors, shielding, and power delivery hardware.
- Generate full manufacturing/fabrication packages (Gerbers, Drill files, BOM, Pick-and-Place files).
- Assemble, solder, bring up, and test physical prototypes.
- Troubleshoot thermal, noise, or signal integrity challenges during hardware validation.
- Provide summary documentation, including pinouts, operating parameters, and testing logs.
Qualifications
- Relevant Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a closely related field.
- Strong background in electronic circuit design, PCB layout, and analog/digital electronics.
- Hands-on testing and debugging experience using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators).
- Proficiency with standard PCB design software (e.g., KiCad, Altium, EasyEDA) and simulation tools.
- Ability to generate technical documentation, schematics, and hardware specifications.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently.
- Good communication skills in English.
- Willingness to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to receiving detailed technical specifications.
