About the Position

Electronics Design Engineer (MCU/FPGA)

Odd Systems is a Ukrainian defense-tech company that transforms engineering innovations into solutions for state protection. Our mission is to create the weapons of the future that save lives and restore justice. Our products include thermal imaging cameras Kurbas and FPV drones Stus, Lupinis, Horska named after Ukrainian figures of the Executed Renaissance and the Sixtyers. Their names have become symbols of the struggle for Ukrainian identity, and today they protect our country on the battlefield.

Role Mission: Develop highly reliable electronic systems for thermal imaging and embedded solutions of the company, ensuring their performance, stability, and readiness for large-scale production and operation in challenging conditions.

Responsibilities

Development of schematics based on MCU, FPGA, sensors, and interface ICs.
Design of multi-layer PCBs: component placement, routing, power and ground organization.
Work with digital and analog interfaces: MIPI CSI-2, USB 2.0, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, video signals.
Development of power, protection, filtering, and level matching circuits.
Component selection considering characteristics, availability, cost, and serial production capability.
Preparation of complete manufacturing documentation: BOM, Gerber/ODB++, Pick and Place, Assembly Drawings.
DRC/DFM checking, preparation of boards for production, and interaction with PCB/PCBA contractors.
Bring-up, testing, and debugging of prototypes using laboratory equipment.
Analysis of defects in serial boards and making changes in subsequent revisions.
Interaction with embedded, FPGA, mechanical engineers, and production.
For Senior level: participation in architecture selection, conducting design reviews, and supporting less experienced engineers.

Requirements

At least 3 years of practical experience in electronics development-from structural and schematic design to finished PCB.
Independent experience in bringing at least a few boards to fabrication, assembly, and successful launch.
Confident design experience with devices based on STM32, NXP, Nordic, ESP32, or similar microcontrollers.
Experience with FPGA or SoC FPGA at the schematic and PCB level: power, clocking, configuration Flash, JTAG, I/O banks, and peripheral interfaces.
Understanding of differential pair routing principles, impedance control, length matching, and current return.
Practical experience in designing DC/DC and LDO power supplies, filtering, ESD and reverse polarity protection.
Understanding of EMC/EMI, DFM, DFA, and multi-layer board design rules.
Proficiency in Altium Designer.
Skills in working with an oscilloscope, multimeter, laboratory power supply, and logic analyzer.
Ability to read datasheets, reference designs, application notes, and manufacturer documentation in English.
Attentiveness, systematic approach.

Nice to Have

Experience in developing cameras, sensor, or thermographic modules.
Work with MIPI CSI-2, DVP, LVDS, USB Video, or analog video interfaces.
Experience with low-noise power supply for sensors, ADCs, and analog circuits.
Basic understanding of embedded development and ability to write simple test code for bring-up.
Experience in supporting mass production and finding causes of hardware defects.

We Offer

Work that will have a real impact. We create products that directly enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities.
Work with top engineers in the MilTech and autonomy sectors.
Official employment registration in Diya.City.
Possibility to reserve military-bound employees according to current legislation.
Annual paid vacation-24 calendar days.
Mandatory accident insurance from the first working day.
Voluntary health insurance after the probationary period.
Additional paid vacation for veterans-14 calendar days.
Paid sick leave in accordance with the law.
Possibility of reimbursing training expenses according to the company's internal policies.

We are looking for like-minded people who share our values and are ready to build the future of Ukrainian MilTech.
